By Robert Chapman

Alison Krauss and Union
Station featuring Jerry
Douglas have joined the lineup for the 6th annual Mountain Jam Music Festival.
The festival has also announced Daily Schedules (located below).

Legendary drummer for The Band and longtime local Woodstock resident Levon Helm will celebrate his 70th
Birthday by closing Mountain Jam on Sunday, June 6 with a little help from a few well-known friends. Billed as
“Levon Helm & Friends,” the performance will feature a number of world class guests, many of whom will make the
trip to Hunter, NY solely to pay homage to one of the most important musicians in rock history.

Having recently
collaborated onstage at the world famous Apollo Theater, the ever soulful Ray LaMontagne will join Levon
Helm’s set. Hardcore troubadour Steve
Earle, having appeared already at Levon’s Midnight Ramble, will travel to Mountain Jam for the first time
as part of the drummer’s birthday bash, while noted singer-songwriter Jackie Greene, a two-time
Mountain Jam veteran, will also join in the celebration.

“We are going to make this a night to remember forever, as some of the greatest musicians in the world come
together to be a part of the celebration of a true rock & roll legend who has meant so much to so many for so long.
We expect to announce more guests in the coming weeks,” says Mountain Jam founder and promoter Gary
Chetkof.

Levon Helm will also welcome many of Mountain Jam’s previously confirmed performers, including Allman Brothers/Gov’t Mule frontman and festival co-
presenter Warren Haynes,
as well as Patterson Hood
of Drive-By Truckers.
Patterson will appear alongside his father, David Hood, who has toured and recorded with classic artists such as
Traffic, Simon & Garfunkel,
The Staple Singers, Aretha
Franklin and many more. Allison Moorer, who will perform on The Awareness Village Acoustic Stage earlier in the
afternoon, will join her husband, Steve
Earle, on stage with Levon. Others are expected to confirm their participation in the next few weeks.

The Mountain Jam Festival will return to Hunter, NY from Friday, June 4 through Sunday, June 6, 2010. Single day
tickets are now on sale at www.mountainjam.com
for Saturday and Sunday at a price of $79.00 and $89.00, respectively, and a limited number of single day VIP tickets
are also available at a price of $186.00 for Saturday and $199.00 for Sunday. Festival tickets for the 3 days are
currently on sale for $166.50 including camping, and $141.50 without camping. All ticket pricing is tiered, so that

Alison Krauss & Union Station To Play Telluride Bluegrass

ALISON KRAUSS AND UNION STATION TO PLAY TELLURIDE BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL

Alison Krauss & Union Station

Planet Bluegrass has announced the addition of Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas to the lineup for the 37th Annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival, June 17-20 in Telluride, CO. This festival performance will be one of a very select number of 2010 shows for the band and among their first full-length sets since 2007.

Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas has been credited with raising the profile of bluegrass music around the world, bringing modern sophistication to the genre while respecting its traditions.

This 2010 performance marks the group’s 12th appearance at Telluride Bluegrass, beginning with their festival debut in 1989, and Douglas will be celebrating his 26th year on the Telluride stage.

Says Grammy-winning Union Station vocalist Dan Tyminski, “I have spent a lifetime going to festivals and can easily say that no other has the splendor of Telluride.”

Union station bassist Barry Bales agrees, reflecting on the significance of Telluride Bluegrass: “As an aspiring young musician growing up in East Tennessee, it was an almost unattainable goal to even attend the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. So it was truly a monumental moment in my life to experience the festival for the first time not from the audience, but on stage for one of my very first shows upon joining Alison almost 20 years ago.”
