John Popper of Blues Traveler has been confirmed to host the 2002 Jammys Presented by TDK, which will be held October 2 at Roseland Ballroom in New York City. Popper will emcee the event and will also perform with various acts throughout the night. John is a very funny person, says executive producer Peter Shapiro. Its going to be cool for him to have the opportunity to be funny in this situation, as opposed to the small bits he normally does on stage in between songs. He also comes from the heart of this whole music sceneWeve got some good surprises in store. It should get interesting.

A very limited number of tickets is still available.
