Mountain Jam 2014 Lineup Announced: Bob Weir & Rat Dog, Gov’t Mule, Avett Brothers, Jeff Tweedy + Pretty Lights Among Headliners

The initial lineup for Mountain Jam 2014, the 10th installment of the increasingly eclectic Upstate New York music festival, has been announced, and headliners include Bob Weir & Rat Dog, Gov't Mule, Pretty Lights, the Avett Brothers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Damian Marley, Wilco main man Jeff Tweedy and Michael Franti & Spearhead.

Scheduled for June 5-8 at the Hunter Mountain ski resort in Hunter, N.Y., Mountain Jam 2014 marks the long-awaited return of Bob Weir & Rat Dog, who last played the fest in 2008. The Grateful Dead founder hasn't toured much with Rat Dog in recent years, but with Further, his partnership with Phil Lesh, on hiatus, Weir will reunite with Jeff Chimenti, Steve Kimock, Jay Lane, Robin Sylvester, and Rob Wasserman and treat the vibe-drenched masses to a set of jammy goodness.

As Mountain Jam attendees welcome back Weir and company, they'll say their usual hellos to perennial bill-toppers Gov't Mule. Warren Haynes' and his intrepid crew of genre-blurring blues-rock virtuosos have headlined the shindig every year since it's inception, and if newbie Derek Vincent Smith, aka Pretty Lights, needs any advice regarding what food booths to hit up or where to head for the best views of the scenic mountainside, the acclaimed electronic musician might ask the singer and guitarist.
