Whipkey Dam Jam

Stephen Cropper may be the most unsung guitarist in the history of rock and roll......

“Words fail me in describing his impact. He was on the session when history was made. He came up with the parts we all studied. He produced the records we all worshipped”: Why Steve Cropper was one of guitar’s most humble heroes The departed soul man was the Stax band’s MVP, writing and driving the R&B classics that ruled the ’60s

Very Nice tribute to Bonnie…..

Looking back to one year ago, I got to experience one of the most moving moments of my life, when several of my dear musician friends came in to Washington, DC to surprise me by performing my songs for my Kennedy Center Honors tribute. Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlile, Keb' Mo', Susan Tedeschi, Arnold McCuller, Emmylou Harris and Dave Matthews just blew me and everyone away. Julia Louis Dreyfus gave the most wonderful introduction paired with a terrific video about me created by the stellar Kennedy Center team. It was an unbelievable night and I’m so grateful this could happen when it did. I’m very proud to share this special moment with my friends’ beautiful performance of “Nick of Time.’ -Bonnie You can watch the full segment from the broadcast here: https://youtu.be/W1V49umlNxg?si=BAGhZLLrKbMqVSBG

Hi all. The count down is on for DJ 18....6 days to go!

Regarding pop up tents:
Tent set up starts Thursday afternoon, after the grass is cut and the flags are up. If your tent is set up before then it will probably be moved.
When setting up tents, please set up around the perimeter first, before doubling up in front of others. Also we must leave a path for the sound truck to get in Saturday morning. Please be respectful of your neighbors when setting up.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Todd

Hi all. We have a correction...it's The Barn Howls, not the Barn Owls. And they will be dedicating their set at Dam Jam to their long time friend, recently lost; John "Grubb" Mahla.
They play at 5:45. Bring it on....We can't wait!
