JUST WHO is Part of Dave Watts’ Super Jam on Jam Cruise?
We are so excited that Dave Watts, founding member of The Motet, has been tapped to lead the Super Jam on Jam Cruise 19 sailing out of Miami next Monday. The Super Jam takes over the Pool Deck on Saturday, our final day out on this incredible adventure. So we inquired: JUST WHO will be part of the Dave Watts Super Jam?
Well! It would almost be easier listing the people who AREN’T participating, and even then you never know who will end up sitting in anyway. But we will attempt to make some sense of this. Suffice to say: you do NOT want to miss it!
