Featuring four days of continuous music, this year’s line-up brings Slightly Stoopid, New Orleans’ Dumpstaphunk, Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers, Dopapod, The Expendables, and Kung Fu to Jungle Jam for the first time joining festival favorites Max Creek, Ryan Montbleau Band, Zach Deputy and Oteil Burbridge, Grammy award-winning bassist of the Allman Brothers Band.

The one-of-a-kind music and camping festival in Jaco Costa Rica is hosted by the beautiful DoceLunas Resort Hotel and includes concerts at multiple locations, including beach front venues, late night clubs and local theatres, all designed to create an up-close and personal concert experience.

It is not unusual for bands to play multiple days at Jungle Jam. Nor is it unusual for sets to turn into big jam sessions. “This year’s line-up is pretty amazing. All these great acts will perform in my yard in the Jungle,” said Eric Freitas, event producer for Jungle Jam.

Slightly Stoopid dropped their latest studio effort and 9th album, Top of the World last summer, followed by the release of Live At Robertos Tri Studios which features 2 sets from Bob Weir’s studio and includes guest sit-ins from Karl Denson, Ian and Ivan Neville, Don Carlos from Black Uhuru host Tommy Chong, and Weir himself.

The group’s penchant for cooking up the tasty fusion and massive groove that permeates Stoopid’s trademark sound is heard throughout these recordings. Slightly Stoopid’s current “Kickin Up Dust” Summer 2013 tour w Atmosphere continues to sell-out major outdoor amphitheatres in the U.S. (including Irvine, CA Verizon Wireless (15,000), San Diego Sleep Train Amph (15,000), Berkeley, CA Greek Theatre 7500, Santa Barbara County Bowl 4500 as it makes its way across the country.

Most Jungle Jam performances take place during the evenings allowing attendees the opportunity to take advantage of all Costa Rica has to offer, including zip line adventures across the rain forest, boat cruises to see crocodiles, Playa Hermosa famous surf breaks and beaches, beginner surfing lessons, day trips to Manuel Antonio National Park and more.
