For nearly a decade now, Gem and Jam Festival in Tucson, Arizona has culminated a melting pot of music and art during the world’s largest gem and mineral exposition, the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show (TGMS). This year will be no different as patrons can search through some the rarest stones in existence while enjoying some of the crunchiest jams as ‘Gem and Jams’ carries on this February 6th – 8th.
This year the good people behind the festival, Euphonic Conceptions, have announced they will host a series Gem and Jam pre-parties in Austin, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, and Tucson. This epic series of Gem and Jam 2015 pre-parties will help spread awareness about the festival and start the vibes out right as the TGMS runs for three weeks straight.
Beginning January 23rd the first of the Gem and Jam pre-party series will kick off at Sky Bar in Tucson (tickets are FREE). The next set of pre-parties will go down simultaneously in Albuquerque and Flagstaff on January 30th. On January 31st, Austin, Texas will take the torch before the final pre-party back in Tucson on February 5th.
Gem and Jam Festival 2015 pre-party artists include VibesquaD, Pumpkin, Late Night Radio, The Bennu, Smash & Grab, Thomas B and many more!
As for the main event’s performers, the Gem and Jam 2015 lineup includes Emancipator Ensemble, Alex Grey, Allyson Grey, Papadosio, Michal Menert Trio (featuring members of Pretty Lights Music), Little People, Russ Liquid, The New Mastersounds and a plethora of live art performers (musicians, painters, dancers, etc.).
Tickets to the 9th Annual Gem and Jam Festival are thriving, but pre-party tickets are going fast. If you have not attended Gem and Jam Festival or the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, now your chance to experience the vibes as the Gem and Jam Festival 2015 lineup of performers rock your world!
If you recently pulled the trigger on attending Gem and Jam, make sure you book your accommodations immediately if you have not already done so. TGMS 2015 will have their dealers and attendees taking up LOTS of hotel rooms as most rooms are used as places of business during the “gathering of the gems.”
