Gem & Jam Festival 2017 | Event Preview

For the 11th year, Gem & Jam Festival will be making an appearance in Tuscon, AZ!

Located at the Pima County Fairgrounds, Gem & Jam Festival is a multi-stage music and arts festival that will be offering camping for the first time this year. They will have on-site RV camping with hookups, boutique camping, car camping, and walk-in camping options available. Additionally, Gem & Jam Festival will be expanding its experience with world-class visuals, unique stage designs, artist galleries, live paintings, experiential installations, daytime workshops, gem and mineral vendors, and so much more!

There is something truly special about this year’s lineup. It will be really exciting to see these collaborations come together, for a magical few nights under the desert sky.

– Josh Pollack, Festival Co-Producer

The lineup features 50+ musicians across three stages with special late night sets

Mike Gordon, the bassist of perennial jam band favorites, Phish, will be joined on stage by keyboardist, Robert Walker; multi-instrumentalist and guitarist Scott Murawsk; drummer, John Kimock, and percussionist, Craig Myers. Holding true to its name, the festival continues to underscore the “jam” component. They previously announced that Dead & Co.’s Jeff Chimenti would be joining Steve Kimock & Friends and 4 of the 6 String Cheese Incident members would be coming together to perform as The Trancident. Additionally, Steve Kimock & Friends along with members of The Motet will be coming together for an entire set of Grateful Dead music, called Play the Dead!
