“We’ve spent the entire off-season trying to come up with a festival experience that could one-up the magic we conjured last year. I think what we have in store for 2019 will set the bar so high for next year, I’m already getting nervous thinking about how we’ll top this in 2020.” In their 5th consecutive year at Gardner’s Farm, after moving the festival from Central Massachusetts where it began in 2011, Disc Jam has found a venue that feels like home. Scavone shares, “I truly believe that we have been blessed with the perfect festival grounds, beautiful grass beneath our feet, surrounded by rolling hills with picturesque views in all directions.”

Owner and Founder Tony Scavone says of the 9th installment of the festival: “Disc Jam lineups are constantly evolving, and this year we aimed to curate a lineup that has past audiences eager to return, while appealing to first time attendees with a diverse array of artists.” While he is most stoked for performances by Lotus with Barber and Friends, The Floozies and Ripe, Scavone says “I’m most looking forward to that moment the night before gates open where everyone is finally set up and completely ready to have as much fun as they possibly can tomorrow.”

As the name suggests Disc Jam, this 4-day event features the fast growing sport of disc golf and festival grounds features a 27-hole disc golf course on-site. Disc Golf
Tournaments for men and women are held throughout the weekend, with cash and
prizes from Innova Disc Golf going to the top finishers. Playing at least a round is a
must for Disc Jam enthusiasts and the course encourages both the avid and first timer
players to try their hand on the course. The disc golf courses are available to anyone to use all at no additional cost to play (outside of tournaments) with discs provided free of charge for those interested in entering a tournament, a casual round with friends, or learning how to play for the first time. This year’s tournaments will be hosted by 2019 Team Innova touring pro Nikko Locastro.

VIP packages allow fans to attend Disc Jam in style, with options for either hotel or
condo style rooms at the beautiful Jiminy Peak Ski Resort, just 5 minutes from the
venue. On top of the off-site accommodations, the event offers VIP camping areas and a VIP lounge sponsored by Lagunitas Brewing Company, which includes
complimentary beer for those 21 years or older.

A variety of activities and workshops are a big attraction for Disc Jam, including the Disc Jam Flow Tribe, flow art workshops, daily yoga sessions, interactive music and art installations throughout the festival grounds, plus craft and art vending that make Disc Jam a unique and memorable experience for both new and returning fans.

The Festival Experience for a Newbie - Amazing Vibes at Disc Jam Part 1

The festival concept was not one that I was ever familiar with on a personal level. Let me correct that - I was brought up in a home where we watched Woodstock as a family. My parents had gone to see it on a date when it was originally in the theaters and whenever PBS was doing a telethon and had it on, we would actually all sit down and watch it. I pretty much have the film memorized. My parents are the reason for my love (slight obsession) with folk music of that time. They named their dog after Arlo Guthrie who they still go see whenever he comes through New Jersey. This is my background. So for me, the idea of the music festival was always that. The ultimate festival. Woodstock. Then some greedy people stupidly tried to replicate it in the 90's and people set shit on fire and ruined it. I thought that was it. The modern era ruined this beautiful concept with commercialized violence and nonsense. Good job, guys. I had NO idea that there were still magical festivals happeni...

Tossing Out My Preconceived Notions with Big Something - Tumbleweed

I used to think I understood what this whole jam scene thing was, and I was so sure it was not my thing. In my younger days, I refused to listen to bands like Phish and moe. because I was so very sure the music was something I wouldn't relate to. I had all these preconceived notions of what the crowds were like at festivals, what the bands were like when you met them, and what the scene was as a whole. I was so wrong, it's kind of painful. I mention a lot that my husband is a big reason for my open mind in music. I have always had a very eclectic taste. I love everything from classical to hip hop. I found myself as a teen in punk and industrial. I found my home in ska/reggae. I have always carried a love for folk. Never did I realize that all these sounds can be found in the least likely scene, at least in my mind at that time. Over the last five years, my husband (a nasty jam bassist in his own right) has been slyly pulling me into the scene one band at a time. Never has my...

Enjoy Some Delicious New Grooves with The Breakfast - Phantasmagoria

I don't know about you, but there is nothing I like more right now than Breakfast. More specifically, The Breakfast. The Breakfast started way back in 1998 in East Haven, CT originally as The Psychedelic Breakfast, a play on the Pink Floyd song Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast. They released their first album in 1999. There have been some lineup changes here and there, but the one thing that has always remained consistent when someone talks about the band is how freaking GOOD they are. The Breakfast is comprised of some of the most intensely talented players within and well outside the jam scene. Tim Palmieri, best known for his incredible work with Kung Fu and Z3, is on guitar. Adrian Tramontano, also of Kung Fu as well as about a million other projects and instruments because he’s that good, is on drums. Chris DeAngelis, also of Kung Fu as well as his solo project LoEndFreque , is on bass. Jordan Giangreco, who has played all over as well including in Viral Sound, is on keys. Ev...
