Jam Cruise is a concept that we have been nurturing for quite some time and we couldnt be more excited to finally execute our ideas, says Josh Moore of Jomo Entertainment, one of the event’s organizers. In many ways, the jamband scene has mastered the art of organizing a festival. So whats next? The bands and fans are waiting to be even more inspired than their last adventure. They want the ultimate musical experience in a magical location. Thats what Jam Cruise offers.
