Today Jam Cruise 3 announces new additions Zilla, The Remarkable Elba Kramer, DJ Moshi & DJ Matov, and Perpetual Groove to the already stellar line-up of artists confirmed to be on board when the boat sets sail on January 6, 2005.

The String Cheese Incident side-projects Zilla, featuring drummer Michael Travis and The Remarkable Elba Kramer, featuring keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth are a highly anticipated addition. 

Look for The Remarkable Elba Kramer CD release to hit stores this fall, and for Zilla to tour the western states this summer.  Not to miss the boat, Aron Magner and Marc Brownstein of the Disco Biscuits will be on board as their latest incarnation - DJ Moshi and DJ Matov.

Their Jam Cruise 3 performance will mark Aron and Marc's first full live electronic set and will feature producer Chris Edmunson AKA DJ Omen. Also on board, newcomers Perpetual Groove.

Jam Cruise 3 will stop in Freeport, Bahamas and, fulfilling a popular request on a questionnaire filled out by last year's cruisers, will offer passengers two full days at sea. The Celebration accommodates 1800 passengers (double the size of the Regal Empress cruise liner used for 1 and 2), and boasts such luxury amenities as three pools, nine passenger decks, ten lounges, a twenty-four-hour pizza bar and dinnertime sushi bar, a health spa, and large and comfortable lodging facilities. The fans spoke up and Jam Cruise organizers have listened.

Jam Cruise 3 will host over thirty music performances, featuring fifteen bands from one of today's most thriving music communities - that of improvisational music.

The line up includes Galactic, Les Claypool, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Keller Williams, Col Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Jazz Mandolin Project featuring Jamie Masefield and Jon Fishman, North Mississippi Allstars, Ozomatli, Peter Rowan & Tony Rice, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, Umphrey's McGee, Garaj Mahal, MOFRO, Benevento/Russo Duo, Tishamingo, DJ Logic, and DJ Harry. In addition to incredible performances by many of the genre's most celebrated musical pioneers, the Jam Cruise experience promises once-in-a-lifetime artist collaborations and opportunities for hang time with the musicians who are so often inaccessible backstage. 

The musicians and the audience who were on board for Jam Cruise 1 and 2 remember the festival fondly. Billy Nershi of The String Cheese Incident, who performed on Jam Cruise 1 with his side project, Billy and Liza, commented, "I was at first hesitant. I thought I'd get claustrophobic.  But it turns out it was an absolutely amazing experience.  It was really intimate and relaxed.  Even the artists, who were there to work, felt like we were on vacation, and absolutely everyone on board that boat knew they were part of something really special. Cloud 9 Adventure's Mark Brown, a partner in the vision and execution of Jam Cruise, recollects, "The whole event exceeded even our highest expectations. We were thrilled to hear from feedback that the artists and the fans held the same sentiment.  Jam Cruise 3 should be even better."   The next step in summer festivals and cruise travel is here.
