Volunteer Jam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Volunteer Jam was the annual Charlie Daniels Band concert held in January of 1974 at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee with band members Barry Barnes (guitar), Taz Digregorio (keyboards), Mark Fitzgerald (bass), Gary Allen (drums) and Freddy Edwards (drums).
Each concert featured a long list of special guests appearing onstage with Charlie and his band such as Ted Nugent, Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band, Billy Joel and many more. These concerts were broadcast live on the radio.
In 1990, the show was moved to Starwood Amphitheatre as a summertime event. The next Volunteer Jam scheduled for May 19, 2007 at Starwood in Nashville with the Marshall Tucker Band and The Outlaws has been postponed, due to the closing of Starwood.
Volunteer Jam is also the name of a series of albums released by Charlie Daniels of performances from the late 70s and early 80s at the Volunteer Jam shows.
