JAM CRUISE RECAP!
Positive Legacy would love to thank the amazing Jam Cruise 22 cruisers, artists, and community for their unforgettable support of our mission and programs this year!
Day of Service
This year’s Day of Service brought Positive Legacy volunteers off the ship in Grand Turk for a truly meaningful day of impact and connection. Together with local partners, the Rotary Club of Grand Turk, we worked on site at the Eliza Simons Primary School to help transform its outdoor spaces — resurfacing the basketball court, refreshing the landscape, restoring gardens, and tackling repairs to create a safer, more welcoming environment for students.
While volunteers were hard at work, the students got to dive into fun and creative learning with the Moog Foundation’s SoundSchool experience, blending art, science, and music in a way only Jam Cruisers could inspire.
A truly special moment of this year’s Day of Service came courtesy of Matt Butler’s Everyone Orchestra, who turned an already over the top day into something absolutely magical. An all-star collective of musicians generously donated their time and talent, creating an impromptu soundtrack for service, connection, and joy. The lineup featured Pete Shand (New Mastersounds) on bass, Karl Denson (Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe) on sax, Sam Fribush on keys, Ricky Giordano (Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe) on guitar, Anna Moss on vocals, Sari Jordan on vocals, Simon Allen (New Mastersounds) on drums, Brett McConnell on bass and lap steel, Aniana on vocals, Jesse Laquinito (Fireside Collective) on mandolin, Carson White (Fireside Collective) on bass, Michael Tillis (Fireside Collective) on drums, Tommy Maher (Fireside Collective) on dobro, Joe Cicero (Fireside Collective) on guitar, and Jake Simpson (The Lil Smokies). Their spontaneous, genre-blurring grooves lifted spirits, energized volunteers, and beautifully embodied the Jam Cruise ethos: community, collaboration, and music with purpose.
With sun, service, and community smiles all around, this Day of Service was a deep and joyful success.
Charity Auction
The Jam Cruise 22 onboard charity auction was electric and uplifting! Cruisers and artists came together to donate, bid, and celebrate the kind of generosity that directly fuels Positive Legacy’s ongoing programs. Fans snapped up one-of-a-kind pieces, signed memorabilia, and unique experiences — all in support of expanding Positive Legacy’s impact around the world.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed items, volunteered their time, and made this year’s auction such a spirited success.
Bingo with Dizgo
One of the week’s most fun highlights was Bingo with the band Dizgo — a poolside celebration of good tunes, playful competition, and great community vibes. With Dizgo leading the excitement, cruisers raised funds for Positive Legacy while soaking up sunshine, laughs, and sea breeze. Between the music and the bingo calls, the energy was infectious — proving once again that giving back can be an absolute blast!
Massive love to the Jam Cruise artists, staff, families, and fans for making this year’s Positive Legacy experiences so remarkable. From Grand Turk to every corner of the ship, your enthusiasm and generosity empowered each moment of service, celebration, and impact.
We truly couldn’t do this without you!
GO TEAM POSITIVE.

PANIC EN LA PLAYA RECAP
Positive Legacy would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Widespread Panic family and the fans who showed up with open hearts at Panic en la PLaya Trece. Your generosity, spirit, and deep-rooted sense of community helped power an unforgettable week of connection and impact—proof that this road really does keep going.
Day of Service
This year, our Day of Service took us into the heart of the local community, where volunteers rolled up their sleeves and worked side by side to give back. Together, we tackled a school wide painting project that transformed shared spaces while fans built genuine connections along the way.
Between paint strokes and teamwork, there was time to slow down, swap stories, and share laughs. Live music from a local jazz duo, camaraderie, and a shared purpose to share our time and energies to help the young people at Benjamin Bloom Elementary School carried us through the day, a reminder that we walk each other home in more ways than one. We even got a special nod from the RCD Fundacion in a special ceremony, giving food, toys and sports equipment to all the local kids. With full hearts and a lot of pride, the Day of Service once again proved the power of coming together with intention.
Charity Auction
The charity auction was once again filled with the best in art, albums, unique gifts and of course instruments. Fueled by the incredible generosity of the Panic family, the silent and live auctions raised nearly $50,000 in support of Positive Legacy’s programs. The room buzzed with big energy and the unmistakable sense that this community always shows up when it matters most.
Endless thanks to Widespread Panic for their continued support, and to every artist, partner, and fan who donated one-of-a-kind items and raised a hand for a cause that truly matters.
Poolside Bingo
The good times kept rolling with poolside bingo hosted by Circles Around the Sun —easy going, laughter-filled, and full of that unmistakable Panic vibe. With great music, a beautiful setting, and nonstop smiles, the event raised over $2,500, proving once again that sometimes the best moments happen when you let the good times roll and give back at the same time.
A heartfelt thank you to the Widespread Panic team and Cloud 9 Adventures for their unwavering collaboration and support. None of this would be possible without your belief in the power of music, community, and showing up—ain’t life grand when we do it together?
To every fan who showed up, gave back, and led with love, we thank you. We truly couldn’t
do this without you.

Name That Tune Bingo
This session turned into a music-lover’s playground, challenging fans to dig deep into Jason Narducy’s catalog and test their knowledge of obscure gems and rock ’n’ roll history. Between laughs, “aha” moments, and plenty of good-natured banter, this gathering captured the heart of the week—raising over $3,200 and reminding everyone that learning, listening, and giving back go hand in hand.
A heartfelt thank you to the Wilco team and Cloud 9 for their continued collaboration and support. None of this would be possible without your commitment to creating experiences that extend beyond the music.
