The 28th Annual Warren Haynes Christmas Jam that
took place on December 10, 2016 at the US Cellular Center in beautiful
Asheville North Carolina came through with a bang for a night of stellar
performances of all kinds. The event,
which is known for having musicians from all backgrounds collaborating to
create improvisational jams amongst themselves, kept the fans happy dancing
through out the entire long night of music.
The Christmas Jam is and always has been a benefit to support the
Habitat for Humanity Foundation. The
event has brought in over 2 Million dollars for the cause throughout the
years.
The 2016 event featured many legendary artists from
different genres including Grateful Dead musician Bob Weir, playing with Bob
Weir and Friends. Joining him on stage
were Allison Krauss, Steve Kimock, and Branford Marsalis. Michael McDonald from the Doobie Brothers
also rocked out with a set featuring other sit-in musicians including Eric
Krasno. Of course it is tradition that
Warren will sit in with each act throughout the night.
One of the highlights to many was the Last Waltz Band, which
paid tribute to The Band and their famous last performance. This included musicians Warren Haynes,
Michael McDonald, John Medeski, and others.

Newcomer to the scene, Holly Bowling played solo set breaks
in between set changes and played her piano versions of songs by The Grateful
Dead and Phish.
To Close out the night, Warren Hayne’s own Gov’t Mule rocked
out the show until 4 AM. They were
joined by guests Duane Trucks, Marcus King, Jeff Sipe, among others.
The yearly event sells out well in advance and for good
reason. This is the yearly event that
people look forward to seeing musical collaborations that you will find nowhere
else, and we can’t wait until next December.
