The 2008 Jammys were last night at MSG in NYC. The night featured performances by Gov’t Mule, Tea Leaf Green, Grace Potter, Trey Anastasio, Booker T. Jones, Galatic and many others. It also featured several super jam lineups with members from many different bands collaborating together for some sick sick jams.
Here’s the winners from last nights show:
Live Performance of the Year: Gov’t Mule Bonnaroo
Tour of the Year: D.U.M.B.
Studio Album of the Year: The Conch - moe.
Archival Release: Three From The Vault - Grateful Dead
Download of the Year: Headphone Jam - Phish
Live Album: Live at Murat - Umphrey’s McGee
Song of the Year: Cadillac - Keller Williams (accepted by Chevy Chase)
I was glad to see Umphrey’s win for Live Album. How could they not give it to these guys? There isn’t any band out there that can compete with the live performances these guys put on. If you haven’t had a chance to see UM do your self and favor and make it happen!

This quartet hails from Massachusetts North Shore. From the bands website “The Brew appeals to rock, funk, jam, jazz, reggae, and pop enthusiasts alike, and it has been said that their music summons the spirits of artists such as Peter Gabriel, YES, The Police, and contemporaries like Percy Hill. After cutting their first studio album in 2003, The Brew have since release two more, including their 2006 release, The Key, as well as a DVD documenting their performance at The Harvest Fest in Maine.”

I had the pleasure of seeing these guys jam in Buffalo a couple of years ago. They were good that night all though there were only a handful of us in the crowd. Since then Jim Weider’s ProJECT PERCoLAToR has been on fire playing before big crowds in clubs across America. This year will see them playing big festivals like Waren Hayne’s Mountain Jam in Hunter Mountain, NY.
