Jammerzine has an exclusive interview with Eric Mobley and Jason Mitchell of the band Calumet. The band has also today released their new single titled ‘Everything’s A Waiting Game’.

Calumet is a band that sound like they have the longevity that they actually have. Generating their fame the old fashioned way; by earning it from gig to gig. But you can hear the history and sheer appreciation for the craft in their latest song ‘Everything’s A Waiting Game’ (below). That classic jam band sound with bits and dashes of the virtuosos of old and freshness of new, Calumet have that rare talent of being exactly who they say they are without compromising either the music or their reputation as true musicians.

‘Everything’s A Waiting Game’ is a jam-band song in the truest sense of the term. Think that magical era from the late 60s’ to the mid 70’s when music refused to compromise and let the radio rule the roost. Whether you’re in the car or in the office, ‘Everything’s A Waiting Game’ is one of those songs that will define the rest of your day.

And, in this interview, we talk with Eric and Jason about how they define those days as well as their plan to get the music out there and what they have going on and much more.
