Mountain Jam 2010 Lineup Additions: Levon Helm, Drive-By Truckers, Grace Potter, Dr. Dog, The Whigs

Just a few weeks after announcing their initial 2010 lineup, the Mountain Jam Music festival has announced some solid lineup additions, including Levon Helm & Friends, Drive-By Truckers, Grace Potter, Dr. Dog, The Whigs, The New Mastersounds, and Jay Farrar (of Son Volt).

Ensuring that we were going to have the fortitude we needed meant a solid breakfast, one that was found in Maggie’s Krooked Cafe in Tannersville. Very yummy. We [...]
