Jam bands, naturally, spend a lot of time jamming, filling their live performances with long instrumental passages between verses, but for the most part they still feature vocals, which might occasionally get in the way of the jams. Veteran jam band Sound Tribe Sector 9 has bypassed that issue by foregoing vocals almost entirely, and the group’s all-instrumental approach has helped it become one of the most popular acts on the jam-band scene. STS9’s instrumental approach isn’t the only thing that sets the group apart from its peers: While fans at jam-band shows are known to get lost in the music, STS9 is probably the only jam band actually creating dance music, with a fusion of rock and electronica.

The band is equally at home at jam-oriented and electronic music festivals, and recent album The Universe Inside even debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard dance/electronic album chart. It features a handful of guest vocalists, adding words to the band’s instrumental sound without ever overshadowing the music. Live, STS9 remains focused on its five musicians, immersing its audience in a sound that appeals to adventurous listeners in multiple genres, as long as they want to move their bodies to the music.
