Recently, John Oates sat down with Rolling Stone magazine to discuss his solo album, Hall and Oates, and most importantly his upcoming Superjam performance at Bonnaroo.

"We've got this incredible band that we've assembled: Carl Broemel from My Morning Jacket is playing lead guitar, we've got Ziggy Modeliste from the Meters playing drums, Larry Graham from Sly and the Family Stone is playing bass. We've got Becca Bramlett and Wendy Moten, who are two of my favorite singers, singing background and leads. Bilal Oliver, from Philadelphia, is coming out, R. Kelly may show up. We've got Lee Fields, the Preservation Hall Jazz horns – it's just off the charts. The theme of our SuperJam is called Rock ‘N' Soul Dance Party, and it's just a ridiculous set list. It's crazy. We're doing a whole block of Sly stuff, obviously, because of Larry. We're doing everything from the Meters to Prince to the Band to John Lennon to the O'Jays. I've been waiting my whole life to do this set."

Thanks John Oates, for further proving that the Superjam is the best show at Bonnaroo.  To read his full interview, head over to rollingstone.com.
