Mountain Jam :: 05.29.09 – 05.31.09 :: Hunter Mountain, NY
Summertime has arrived and the hills are indeed alive again with the sound of music. For some, music is a direct inspiration in their choice of a career as a musician. For others, it may inspire their best work, whatever the mundane job or chore may be. For many however, music simply inspires us to get up and shake our asses, clap our hands, spin around in circles and holler at the top of your lungs. And where better to be inspired than the great outdoors with spectacular blue skies and stunning mountains, together with a mass of like-minded music lovers who just want to lose the winter blues.

Tapers Section
Ever since the Grateful Dead opened the door for tapers in the early 80's, taping bands live has been a great way for bands to get the music out, and for music fans to take home a souvenir after the show. Ever year we have quite the taper section at Mountain Jam and in the spirit of sharing the great music, here are links to a bunch of the amazing sets!

Historic Moment at Mtn Jam!
The listeners of WDST and a lucky few in the on-site studio received a rare treat on the final day of Mtn Jam. The legionary Richie Havens and Michael Franti teamed up for an impromptu jam session before they each took to the Mtn Jam Stage later in the day.
It was the first time the two had met "It is truly an honor to meet you Richie" said Michael Franti before being interviewed on air. There was a lot of mutual respect being shown between the two artists. Luckily I was there to catch the moment in pictures. There is also a video of the song played.
