Within jam band fandoms often dominated by substance use, clean and sober fans are building their own communities.

While the audio portion of the podcast is on hiatus, we'll be publishing at least one longform piece of reporting/analysis on fan culture a month, and we're THRILLED that our first piece up is a another from Maria Temming (who wrote our whump deep dive).

This one is on yellow balloon groups, fandoms-within-fandoms for clean and sober music fans. Click through to read or listen to a full audio version of the story!

"All you jamband fans, let me tell you something. I am a singer songwriter with a band who jams. So you’re gonna hear about two and a half hours of songs you didn’t hear last night. But you’re also gonna hear a bunch of songs we played last night because we like playing them. So don’t be spoiled little bitches." —Sturgill Simpson

I think it's time to talk about how Rusted Root's 'Send Me on My Way' is the best song

Reasons:

- Whistle centric

- My dad was roommates with the singer

- "I would like to hold MY hand" ???

- "and we will RUHUHUN-huhuWAY, we will KWAAAWLLLRuhLr"

- break for everyone to dance

- A guy from pittsburgh sang this

- senmeonmahweh

- haAAAAAYayyyahAayyYahwahWAAAAHHHHYYY
