The Disco Biscuits will make their debut at the 10 Mile Music Hall in Frisco, Colorado, and Widespread Panic announces their New Year’s Eve plans. Also this week, a heady mix of reggae, electronic, strings and folk, mashed into one Jam Session.

"This week we’ve got a three-track spotlight on the new album from the reggae rock band Common Kings. Titled “One Day,” the new LP is jam-packed with feel-good vibes and island influences. The band has a super fun-loving attitude for both live shows and on recordings. Plus, we explore some of the genre-blending beauties of the jam band scene with music from bluegrass/string music favorites like Cascade Crescendo to the experimental orchestral sounds of Medeski Martin and Wood, and even the electronic meets hip hop vibes of Lotus’ “Monks” album

"Special spotlight this week on Rubblebucket’s new album “Sun Machine.” It’s a danceable, fun collection of tunes that the band is known for, but if you dive in deeper you’ll find it’s also a breakup album that digs into the band’s own battles with such heavy topics as cancer and alcoholism. Also this week, New Years Eve plans from Georgia band Widespread Panic, East Coast fall touring news from Lotus, and new music from Mapache, Howlin’ Rain, Medeski Martin & Wood, and more.

"Best thing about the fall? New albums and fall tours! Come October, multi-instrumentalist Keller Williams will issue his first all instrumental album, and Blues Traveler will put out a new studio album via BMG Records. Plus, jamtronica pioneers STS9 kick off their U.S. fall tour later this month in South Burlington, Vermont, and Colorado funk band the Motet gets things going in Chico, California. If you’re in the U.S., regardless if you’re on either coasts or in the middle, chances are really good you’ve got some solid jam bands coming your way!
