For fans following Sturgill Simpson and his Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds project, the excitement doesn't necessarily end when the house lights come up. There's the setlist to revisit, the unexpected cover to track down, and the question of whether that rare song has surfaced anywhere else on the tour.
A new fan-created website called Skysets.org is bringing all of that information together in one place.
Created by longtime Sturgill Simpson fan Daniel Levy, Skysets is a nonprofit fan site dedicated to documenting performances by Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds. The website tracks individual concert setlists, song frequencies, tour debuts, rarities, covers, and musical teases, giving fans an opportunity to explore how the band's performances evolve from night to night.
For concertgoers who enjoy comparing shows and following the surprises that unfold during a tour, the site offers a detailed look at the band's ever-changing repertoire.
Individual concert pages include venue and date information, complete setlists, and statistics showing how frequently particular songs have appeared. Fans can also explore music from different albums, identify uncommon selections, and contribute information to help document performances accurately.
Among the examples is the band's October 27, 2026, performance at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans. Skysets also documents the official afterparty at Tipitina's featuring the Flying Mojito Brothers, providing another layer of detail for fans interested in the entire evening's musical activity.
The site's emphasis on accurate documentation and fan participation reflects a tradition familiar to followers of the Grateful Dead, Phish, and other artists whose audiences have long treated live performances as experiences worth preserving and studying.
Skysets also provides tour-wide statistics, allowing visitors to see which songs have appeared most often, which are particularly rare, and where musical surprises have occurred. Some show pages include concert photographs, poster information, videos, and contributions from fans who attended.
According to Levy, the project is a labor of love rather than a commercial venture. He reports that the site has attracted nearly 2,000 Instagram followers and 300 signups, along with approximately 11,000 pageviews over a recent seven-day period.
What began as a fan-driven effort to document Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds is becoming a resource for listeners who want to dig deeper into the performances, the songs, and the shared experience surrounding the music.
Whether you're searching for the setlist from a show you attended, tracking a favorite song, or wondering which cities were treated to the deepest cuts, Skysets offers another way to follow the music long after the concert ends.
