Tuesday night Bob Weir and Wolf Brothers (featuring the Wolfpack) rolled in Madison, WI for a show at The Sylvee. Tuesday shows can sometimes be straightforward and nondescript. This show doesn’t fall under either of those categories. Even before the music began, there was a slight buzz amongst the crowd regarding the very cryptic and mysterious Dead and Company social media posting made earlier in the day.

Former Santa Barbara resident surfer and musician Jack Johnson made history on the stormy California night of Fat Tuesday, February 21st. The master of contagious acoustic pop hits played an extraordinary performance at the historic downtown Lobero Theatre as part of the venue's 150th-anniversary celebration. Johnson, a huge draw, especially in Santa Barbara, quickly sold out two nights at the 4500-seat Santa Barbara County Bowl last summer.

The soft rock superstar duo, Air Supply, consisting of Englishman Graham Russell and Australian Russell Hitchcock, performed before a sold-out crowd at the Chumash Casino Resort on February 17th. The beautiful Santa Ynez valley concert was a massive hit with the band's many fans, who call themselves “Airheads.”

The Dark Side of the MoonPink Floyd’s time-honored concept album with an ominous pulse from start to finish – came screaming into the world like a proverbial newborn, seemingly fully formed and full of life, on March 1, 1973.

Fifty years. Doesn’t it seem like no time at all?

Eggy, the genre bending jam rock quartet from Woodbridge, CT, played for the first time at The Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA on February 23, 2023, and also supported fellow jam rockers, Twiddle. In fact, this rising band is starting to make a name for themselves nationally and is smack in the middle of an eighteen date winter west coast tour with Twiddle.

On Saturday, February 25, Bob Weir & The Wolf Bros delivered an incredible night of music to a sold out crowd at the Louisville Palace. The elegant venue set a unique tone for a jubilant evening of music with Bob Weir.

The Lil Smokies formed under the big sky of Missoula, Montana in 2009 and have created an original assortment of music that can quench the most diverse musical pallets. At first glance the band looks like a traditional bluegrass band with all of the usual stringed suspects including banjo, dobro, fiddle, standup bass and acoustic guitars. They say you can't judge a book by the cover and The Lil Smokies are the perfect example of why you can’t define a band by their instruments.

Drew and Ellie Holcomb took the stage at City Winery New York on Friday for night two of their three-night residency at the venue. The couple's visit to the city is part of what's become a traditional annual tour, where they take a break from their solo careers to play together.
