The program will include special mini-sets will be led by Blackberry Smoke frontman Charlie Starr and slide master Benji Shanks, as well as Widespread Panic drummer Duane Trucks, Drivin N Cryin’s Kevn Kinney, and a few surprise guests.
This growing tradition will be the perfect way to get in the holiday spirit this winter, especially as Scott’s Gov’t Mule bandmate/leader Warren Haynes takes a year off of his beloved Christmas Jam due to the destruction caused in Asheville by hurricane Helene.
The concert will also support good causes, with proceeds benefitting The Georgia Music Foundation and Backline.
