Also, Jomeokee Fest is proud to present two very special sets that bring together some of the country’s best players of funk, rock, jam and bluegrass. Jomeokee fans will be treated not only to an all-star bluegrass jam, but also to a set from the Everyone Orchestra. Conducted by Matt Butler, this special incarnation of the EO will feature Jimmy Herring (Widespread Panic), Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band), Al Schnier & Vinnie Amico (moe.), Michael Kang (The String Cheese Incident), George Porter Jr. (Meters), Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band), Jeff Sipe, members of Lettuce, and more!

Jomeokee Fest, a music and camping festival, is set inside a natural amphitheater overlooking Pilot Mountain, at the Jomeokee Campground in Pinnacle, NC. The festival features two side-by-side stages showcasing alternating sets of first-class live music including two sets each from The Del McCoury Band and Yonder Mountain String Band plus performances from Stephen Marley, Keller Williams and the Travelin' McCourys, Lettuce, Emmitt-Nershi Band, and more!  A confirmed lineup is listed below.
