The Warren Haynes' Christmas Jam, an annual benefit for Habitat For Humanity, celebrates it's 23rd year in Asheville, NC in 2011. This is an incredible annual event where an amazing list of musicians donate their time to participate - all proceeds go straight to the cause. Warren always manages to bring a great group of musicians together for an even greater cause.
Warren stages a shorter pre-jam before the real jam the next night at the Civic Center. Now short is a relative term meaning different things to different individuals. Here's Warren's definition - 30+ songs clocking in at just under 5 hours.
Here's a list of some of the artists on this one. They float in and out. Lots of musical styles represented. Very diverse....and a helluva lot of fun.
