“When an artist like Jim James (read: Integrity) and the folks at Bonnaroo (read: Fun) asked me to partner up to put together this years Superjam, it took me all of about 5 seconds to say YES! The theme that we came up with, “Rock & Soul Superjam,” was right in my wheelhouse and together we assembled an amazing group of world class musicians…and then the Stars came out; Billy Idol, Brittany Howard, Larry Graham, R. Kelly all delivered as promised, and on a beautiful summer night we rocked the house.”

“You just kind of walk off from that. . .literally feeling like you just won the Super Bowl or something because it was such a battle. The whole thing was such a fucking battle. . . there’s so much involved in trying to make it work. And then when it actually does work, you really just feel so victorious.”
-Jim James
