Former Jammys Lifetime Achievement Award winner Steve Winwood will occupy himself on the road for much of the summer with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Winwood will open for Petty and one hopes will join the Heartbreakers on stage for a portion of their set. The tour is projected to open on May 30 at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI and cross the country through August. Next up for Petty and his band is a performance at next weekend’s Super Bowl, while Winwood will appear with Eric Clapton at Madison Square Garden for three nights in late February.

As for the recipient of the 2008 Jammys Lifetime Achievement Award, please stay tuned for an upcoming major announcement.
