Jam In The Dam 2006: one weekend only

One weekend only at De Melkweg in Amsterdam for Jam In The Dam 2006. The damage control message from the organisation:

After much feedback from the fans, we have come to the very difficult decision to consolidate the two weeks of Jam in the Dam. Please understand that this event is unlike any ever undertaken, and as such, presents new challenges, but also new opportunities for improvement.

After last year’s smashing success, and the camaraderie built up while there, splitting the shows and bands over two weeks turned out to be a less desirable situation for many folks. People that wanted to see both Umphrey’s McGee and the Disco Biscuits, were forced to choose, as they simply could not afford to stay away for ten days. The last thing we want to do was take a very special show, and detract from it in any way. This festival is here to stay, and whatever it takes to make it better, will be done.

What we plan to do:

The Eerste week show will now no longer take place. The Disco Biscuits will move to the Tweede week, and take the place of North Mississippi Allstars on the bill.

The bill for Jam in the Dam 2006, March 19-20-21, is now as follows::

  1. Umphrey’s McGee
  2. The Disco Biscuits
  3. Sound Tribe Sector Nine
  4. Benevento/Russo Duo
We apologize profusely to the fans of North Mississippi Allstars, as well as Yonder Mountain String Band, Galactic, and The New Deal. This was not an easy decision. Stay tuned, but there may be a show at the Melkweg on Saturday March 18 with one or more of these bands.
