Anna and Graham have been coming to Jam Camp with their children Béla and Noah for over 10 years and just love the memories they have made sitting around a fire singing three part harmony while kids run barefoot through the tall grass. Freedom, music, connection and creativity are nourished in the most beautiful way and music is made accessible to everyone.

Andy Tabb

Andy Tabb has honed his chops on guitar, songwriting skills and voice for 30 years now and it shows. He skillfully weaves together Americana roots, Baroque folk and an essence of Jazz, taking risks with melody and harmony that are natural and beautiful within his own captivating songwriting. His voice evokes a summer afternoon, as he ranges easily between painterly ballads and rootsy rock. His album, Neon Jesus Man, is an epic journey through a myriad of lyrical emotions and sonic landscapes.
