BeatJam'99 (fwd)

I received this about a week and a half ago and figured I'd pass it along
to y'all, since a few of these bands and artists have played with Fruvous
and have a good number of fans around here. I wouldn't mind seeing
Fruvous added to this lineup, myself. Anyway, I'll pass along more
information when I receive it.

Raymond added that many notable national acts are now deciding their summer
schedules and he foresees many pending announcements in the coming weeks
including major names in the Blues, Jazz, Reggae, World, Rock and Jamband
genres.
The Beatroots were recently included with the likes of Gregg Allman, Santana
and Phish in the nationally distributed compilation book JamBands: America's
Hottest Live Groups, after the author discovered them dominating the second
stage at Phish's Great Went. With two CD's; Dig The Beat and Secret Door
under their belt, the band will record their third CD this spring to be
released at the festival.
The Beatroots performance this Friday, February 19th at the Grand Auditorium
in Ellsworth will be their last performance in eastern Maine prior to the
festival.
