“Christmas Jam is such a special event for me and my family and more than 30 years later, it’s still so exciting to see the dynamic talent that comes together for the community in my beloved home of Asheville,” shares Haynes. “After a few years off, following an extraordinary 2-night 30th Anniversary event, it felt great to return last year to continue the cause, which has and will always be: to have fun, play music, and celebrate being together while raising money for a local charity. This year is no exception. We’ve got longtime friends and collaborators, as well as new ones, on hand for a rockin’ and memorable evening, benefiting the housing needs of many in the region.”

Adding to the excitement leading into this year’s Christmas Jam, Haynes has also announced The Benefit Concert Volume 20, due out Friday, December 8th via Evil Teen Records/Mascot Label Group. The multi-CD/DVD/vinyl collection sets from the 30th annual Jam, recorded live on December 7 and 8, 2018, features electrifying performances from Dave Grohl, Eric Church, Joe Bonamassa, Jim James, Gov’t Mule, Grace Potter, and Mike Gordon, among many others, painting a vivid tapestry of live music, characterized by spontaneous collaborations, raw energy, and a palpable mutual respect among the artists. Other featured musicians on the set include Marco Benevento, Jamey Johnson, Edwin McCain, Kevn Kinney, Tyler Ramsey, Scott Murawski, and Ron Holloway, along with Machan Taylor, Mini Carlsson, Mike Barnes, and Ray Sisk sitting in with Gov’t Mule and solo performances from Haynes.

The Benefit Concert Volume 20 is enriched with iconic performances, such as the hypnotic “Gold Dust Woman,” originally by Fleetwood Mac, now reimagined in a stirring collaboration featuring Warren Haynes, the versatile Grace Potter, and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James. Fans of the Foo Fighters will find themselves enthralled by Dave Grohl and Haynes’ acoustic jam-infused renditions of massive hits “Times Like These” and “Everlong,” along with the only live recording of Grohl’s epic instrumental song “Play,” which made its 45-minute live debut at the Jam that night. Country music enthusiasts will revel in Eric Church’s evocative performances of the Allman Brothers’ “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More” and his own hit, “Record Year.” Meanwhile, the electrifying “Spanish Boots” showcases the unparalleled guitar prowess of Joe Bonamassa, a 26x No. 1 selling blues guitar sensation.

The Benefit Concert Volume 20 will be available physically on four different double vinyl volume sets, 2 CD/DVD set, and 3 CD/2 Blu-ray set, along with a digital-only format.

Curated by Grammy Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, producer and guitar legend Warren Haynes, the Christmas Jam is one of the most celebrated and longest-running live concerts in the US. Held each year in Asheville, performing artists, volunteers, and friends from all over the country come together to raise funds for longtime partner Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity as well as last year’s new partner, BeLoved Asheville. Over the last 30 years, Christmas Jam has raised more than $2.8 million for Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity, constructing over 50 homes and helping to pay infrastructure and development costs of entire Habitat neighborhoods. On the other end of the spectrum working to help with the region’s housing needs is BeLoved Asheville, which assists those struggling with housing insecurity to create innovative solutions. Together, these local housing organizations ensure more neighbors have a decent place to live.
