While this page will stay live for a while (for anyone who happens to stumble upon it), find all these articles and NEW ones on STANDFORJAM.com!

Our move to this new domain is only the beginning. The new page is currently under construction, so expect to see an evolution taking place. 

Stand For Jam is a grassroots enterprise with the central aim to provide opinion and commentary on all things that JAM. On top of editorials, there will be show reviews, interviews, photo galleries, and whatever else we can muster up that will be of interest to the Jam Band Community at large. 

Our name has a threefold meaning:

–Stand For Jam is a jam-oriented newsstand for all things that jam. 

-We not only figuratively stand for all jam band related things, but…

-When jam is playing, we stand up!
