EO returns to the Ashkenaz for the third installment of the Holiday Sweater Good Vibe Drive. Joining Butler this year is Steve Adams and Dan Lebowitz of ALO, Colin Hoops (Big Light), Aaron Redner (Hot Buttered Rum), Inkx Herman (Hamsa Lila), Audio Angel, Michael Kang (SCI), Mike Sugar and more! Chris Haugen will start off the night with a set of music from his new CD Seahorse Rodeo.

Everyone is encouraged to wear a cheesy holiday sweater to help push the holiday vibe. Bring an unwrapped toy in the $10-$20 range to donate to needy families through the bay area - an easy way to do your part to make a difference this holiday season.

As part of the Leave a Positive Legacy program of the greening team onboard Jam Cruise 6 Matt Butler and a crew of musicians serenaded the children at an orphanage on Roatan, Honduras. The players, including Jon Fishman, Jeff Coffin, Jans Ingber and Dominic Lalli from The Motet, Tanya Shylock, Dan Lebowitz (ALO) and Bo, Jeff and Sean from New Monsoon all agreed it was an incredibly moving experience and the house mother at the orphanage said it was the best day the children had had in a very long time. Kudos to the Jam Cruise passengers who donated pallets full of well needed and appreciated school supplies for the island children and to Conscious Alliance who organized a donation of 1000 pounds of soap from Pangea Organics.

During the last performance onboard, Scooter and Todd Ketchum were the lucky winners of the guest conductor raffle which raised close to $1000 to purchase carbon offsets on Jam Cruise. Go team green.
