Jungle Jam returns to the beautiful beaches of Jaco, Costa Rica on March 11-13, 2016. In addition to the many intimate performances that can be expected at this unique event, Jungle Jam provides a special opportunity to enjoy all that Costa Rica has to offer. While soaking up the sunshine, fans spend time walking the beautiful shoreline on the beach of Jacó, exploring shops and native attractions on bike, or savoring the sights and sounds of Costa Rica's diverse wildlife. There are also several workshops and exclusive tours covering a wide variety of interests offered. Yoga, surfing, ziplining, deep sea fishing, nature tours and more are available.

In terms of music, in that arena this experience is again top-notch and all-star.

Grammy Award-winning bassist Oteil Burbridge headlines along with an all-star band of friends, including Jeff Sipe (currently touring with Warren Haynes and the Ashes to Dust band), Scott Murawski (Max Creek, Mike Gordon Band), John Kadlecik (Dark Star Orchestra, Furthur and the John Kadlecik Band), and Jason Crosby. Oteil's first step into the national spotlight came in 1991 when he became a founding member of the Aquarium Rescue Unit featuring Col. Bruce Hampton, a cult classic that has stood the test of time. That led to his membership in the classic rock group The Allman Brothers Band. Over the years, Oteil has shared the stage with rock and blues legends such as Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Levon Helm, Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, Billy Gibbons, Chuck Leavell, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Johnny Winter, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow and Trey Anastasio. In 2015, Oteil joined Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, as well as John Mayer and Jeff Chimenti, to form "Dead & Company." Oteil is also currently working on his fourth solo record, "Water In The Desert," for which he has assembled an all-star group of musicians, including brother Kofi on keyboards and flute, Little John Roberts and Sean O'Rourke on drums, vocalists Alfreda Gerald and Mark Rivers, and producer David Ryan Harris. The record is expected to be released in 2016.

Ryan Montbleau will also be exciting fans at Jungle Jam. The Boston-Ma folk rocker will be joined by Congo Sanchez, Mike Love, Santos y Zurdo, Un Rojo, Talawa, Julio Najera, Matos, Matt Carey, and Esquina. The Costa Rican band, Sonumbulo, and the American DJ Jacques have also been added to Jungle Jam. To close out Friday night, we have The Bob Marley Jam, featuring Oteil Burbridge, Congo Sanchez, Mike Love, and many more!
