Mystic River Jam Festival Gives Back to Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center and Sails Up 4 Cancer
August 16, 2024 Community & People
Mystic River Jam, at the beautiful Mystic Shipyard, was held on June 21-22, 2024 and showcased music from amazing bands - while supporting two great charities, Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center (pawcatuckneighborhoodcenter.org) and Sails Up 4 Cancer (su4c.org).
June 19, 2024 9:20 am • Last Updated: June 19, 2024 9:21 am By Rick Koster Day Arts/Features writer r.koster@theday.com I’m not suggesting that Mystic Dead, the local rock band intensely devoted to replicating the music and tie-dye nuances of the Grateful Dead, is a creepingly ubiquitous entity. It IS true, though, that if, somehow, principal deceased members of the original Dead – Jerry Garcia, Pigpen, Brent Mydland and Keith Godchaux – came back to life and the band was suddenly at full strength, they’d be opening for Mystic Dead and not the other way around! This is one way of explaining why Mystic Dead are headlining both Friday and Saturday at the popular Mystic River Jam taking place at the Mystic Shipyard. But, beyond Dead-ness, there’s a lot of great music across a variety of styles – and plenty of food, beverage and merch to enhance the fun.

Music, Mirth & Mojo
By Ali Kaufman, Ink Publications, May 2022
Great musicians and fantastic bands might not be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Connecticut but I can tell you first-hand that talent runs deeper than the river that flows through our fine state. For the sixth time, River Jam will showcase performers from Connecticut as well as Rhode Island and Massachusetts at their annual festival held at the Mystic Shipyard. This event has been a labor of love since its inception and continues to uplift the community with the joy it brings as well as the charitable contributions it makes. River Jam is also a wonderful family-friendly opportunity that highlights yet another reason why people flock from all over to spend time in this lovely seaside hamlet.
