Well, jazz, funk….

The Samples lameass reggae influenced jam band

Maybe reggae in the old days, not at all. Lameass AC band??? Maybe….

Blueground Undergrass don't know

Take a look at the name. Flip some letters, you have Bluegrass Underground. Bluegrass with an edge.

Jazz Mandolin Project ?

Again, look at the name. Jazz, with mandolin in the lead. 3 piece I believe

Roots Reggae from New England

Blues/Rock/Soul – quite good.

Redsock plugs exit clov so much that I thought he was a member of the band. And I'm pretty sure he was at wakarusa for their set last year.

not your typical jam band either … lot of electronic / dub influences, i was pretty impressed by a show i saw three years ago or so … might have been the weed talking though ….

I thought he was dating her while she was involved with the drummer?

A few more of those "jam bands" aren't what you'd expect from an ordinary jam band. Umphrey's McGee are heavily prog-rock influenced and Tea Leaf Green are pretty jazz/funk-oriented.

oh, you're right, how could I forget

Oh stop it will you. The best part about the Wakarusa line-up is that there is no Exit Clov, (at least not yet). Yeah, i was at that mess last year. My only time every seeing GBV, and i was forced to leave 5 songs into it… Still fuming over that one.

And we should ban azaghal for even mentioning that line-up. Certainly violating the jam policy on this board.

Oh, while we're at it, who's going to Exit Clov tonite?

Did anyone read this review of the new Exit Clov EP?
