Jonathan Shank’s ‘The Jam’ Podcast Connects The Dead to a New Audience: ‘We Live in a Golden Age’
Jonathan Shank's 'The Jam' podcast connects Jerry Garcia and Grateful Dead to new audience in the jam scene: "We live in a golden age'," he says.
From Phish and Dead and Company’s successful run of shows at The Sphere in Las Vegas, to the emergence of jam superstar artists like Billy Strings, Goose and even EDM pioneers Odesza as mainstream festival headliners, the music born from artists like the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers Band, the Meters and Dr. John is more accessible than ever. It’s a great example, actually, of how the jam scene encompasses bluegrass, funk, R& B, and jazz into this large gumbo of influences and different styles of music. My goal is to feature great artists and some industry folks that have stories to tell and and also some tastemakers and people that you don’t hear from very often and help.
