The annual Warren Haynes Christmas Jam returned to the US
Cellular Center (formerly the Asheville Civic Center) in December for its 25
th
year. The event has one again expanded to two nights plus the Pre-Jam on Thursday night
at the Orange Peel. The Christmas Jam has
been one of the integral events in Asheville’s annual musical calendar since
its much smaller debut in 1989. Every
year features sought-after bands and musicians of all types collaborating
together to create a musical experience like no other. Local hero and Gov’t Mule front man Warren
Haynes has manufactured an event that not only gives people the best in musical
talent, but also gives back to the community.
All proceeds from the event go to the Habitat for Humanity, which is a
non-profit organization that aims to assist people with affordable housing. The X-mas Jam has become so popular over the
years that tickets are guaranteed to sell out weeks before the event.
