I’m coming up on my fourth Wakarusa, and it’s hard to put into words exactly what I’m the most excited about because I just come into the festival KNOWING I’m going to have a great time.

Umphrey's McGee is proud to unveil their latest live video offering for your sensory enjoyment. The first ever four-night New Year's celebration at the legendary Tabernacle in Atlanta is now available for pre-order on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download.

Downtown Napa Valley became BottleRock Central, swarming with crossing guard-policemen and retailers pushing their goods, and in many cases, their parking lots. Nearby neighbors set up pizza and lemonade stands and signs dissuading BottleRockers from urinating on their lawns.
VER LA LUZ, Scott Tournet's first solo album since 2006's Everyone You Meet Is Fighting A Hard Battle, hits streets today. The self-produced and independently released effort was recorded and engineered by Mike Kamoo (The Stereotypes, The Loons, Lights On), who engineered and mixed VER LA LUZ at his Earthling Studios in San Diego.
Missouri-born, Los Angeles-bred storyteller, Little Lonely, Julie Cain, announced today that her eponymous folk-Americana full-length debut will be available on June 25, 2013 on CD and via digital download.
