My neighbor and fellow author and jam band chronicler Mike Ayers has a new book, Sharing in the Groove: The Untold Story of the '90s Jam Band Explosion and the Scene That Followed. It is an oral history; the subject sort of speaks for itself.
I interviewed Mike about the the book at our local Words, Maplewood’s Bookstore. You can watch that above. Enjoy!
This is my quote on the back of the book. I stand by it!\
"In the early '90s, as the New York music industry desperately scoured the nation for the next big thing, an organic music scene was taking shape right under their noses. Little clubs were packed with fans and bands jamming the night away, as jam bands took root and sprouted like mushrooms. This book captures that exciting fluid time with a deep dive into the bands that blew up out of this scene and the ones that coulda been a contender."
