In a career that has already spanned a half-century, Jorma Kaukonen has been one of the most highly respected interpreters of American roots music, blues, and rock. A member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy recipient, Jorma was at the forefront of popular rock and roll, one  of the founders of the San Francisco sound and a progenitor of Psychedelic Rock. He is a founding member of two legendary bands, Jefferson  Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna.

JEFF LARSON—the veteran singer-songwriter from the San Francisco Bay area now living in Southern California—has today (February 8) unveiled the video for “Reason To Believe.” It’s the newly released lead single from IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, his six-song tribute EP to the late iconic singer and songwriter Tim Hardin. The EP, featuring all Hardin originals, was produced by Gerry Beckley of America and is due out March 17 as the first release on new Nashville-based label Melody Place.

When it came time for the Infamous Stringdusters to record their new album, A Tribute to Flatt & Scruggs, the band gathered in the studio and pressed record; all at once, all together, just like the bluegrass pioneers whose music they were picking. Hot on the heels of yet another GRAMMY nomination—this time for their latest LP, Toward The Fray—the Stringdusters are revisiting the forefathers of the genre in a way not too distant from their GRAMMY-nominated A Tribute to Bill Monroe.

The Big Apple's premier Grateful Dead cover band High Time delivered an inspired performance for a full house at the iconic Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY last Friday, February 3, 2023. They barely stopped playing during their two sets of Dead favorites. The creative folks at Macrodose NYC provided liquid like visuals on the rustic walls of the Williamsburg venue.

The Go Big For Hunger All-Star Band returns for two fundraising concerts at Portland House of Music and Bayside Bowl on March 2 and 3, 2023 (The Annual Go Big For Hunger Jam to support children with food insecurities). Led by current Dead & Company and longtime Allman Brothers Band bassist Oteil Burbridge and New Orleans' "first family of funk" percussionist and vocalist Cyril Neville, the shows feature Grateful Dead keyboardist Tom Constanten, moe.

And the GRAMMY® for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package goes to IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ’81 ’82 ’83! Congratulations to art directors Lisa Glines, Doran Tyson, Dave Van Patten, and the entire Grateful Dead family.

Singer, composer and actress Sabina Sciubba, founder of the Grammy-nominated Brazilian Girls, is debuting her latest single “Adam” with an accompanying video; watch/share the video here.

The video features an animation of Lucas Cranach the Elder’s 1531 painting “Adam and Eve in Paradise (The Fall).” In Sciubba’s reimagining Adam and Eve dance to the beat, embrace, separate, embrace again and eventually depart Eden.

“Hole In The Ground” by Amon Tobin – video release

“Hole In The Ground” is part of a suite of tracks due for release by Amon Tobin later this year on Nomark Records. Each track will be accompanied by a short video film.

This could be Earth in the future, or in a prehistoric past. Or it could be the rocky dust of a planet in another universe, where multidimensional creatures tease their way across the sky, stirring up the dirt and rocks below them, searching for prey.
