When you think of rock ‘n’ roll hotspots, Princeton, New Jersey probably doesn’t make the list. But according to Sharing in the Groove, maybe it should.
This episode dives into the surprising and sprawling history of the jam band movement through the lens of this compelling oral history.

What you'll hear in this episode:

• How the jam band scene exploded in the late ‘80s and ‘90s—from Princeton to Athens (Widespread Panic), Vermont (Phish), and Charlottesville (Dave Matthews Band).
• Why the culture of taping live shows was both a gift and a headache for bands and labels alike.
• How record companies struggled to understand, and market bands that didn’t move units but packed venues.
• What happened when Jerry Garcia died and how it shifted the jam band ecosystem almost overnight.
• Candid memories and quotes from Trey Anastasio, John Popper, Derek Trucks, Steve Lillywhite, Dave Matthews, Karl Denson, John Medeski, and more.
