Jam Music Festivals

It is common to find jam music festivals throughout the summer months around the country that attract thousands of people. Most festivals are weekend events that provide sleeping and eating facilities as well as music.
  1. Characteristics

    • Jam music is a genre of music that combines characteristics of psychedelic rock and improvisation. The genre began with the popularity of The Grateful Dead in the 1960s. Today, many bands combine this music with jazz styles to "jam out" on stage.

    Festivals

    • A variety of festivals are held every year across the country, such as Jam for Jam Music in Wisconsin, Bonnaroo in Tennessee, Gem State Jam Music Fest in Idaho, Some Kind of Jam in Pennsylvania and Mountain Jam Music Festival in Montana.

    Tips

    • Plan ahead for jam music festivals to ensure you have enough shelter, food and water. Most festivals allow you to camp on-site, so pack a weather-proof tent and sleeping bag. Also have a cooler full of water and food to cook so you do not have to leave the festival grounds.
