Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and all you travelers of time and space, gather round for a tale of musical alchemy, a story spun from the strings of guitars and the whispers of the past. We present to you the Dark Star Orchestra, custodians of the Grateful Dead's ethereal legacy, who've been conjuring the magic of the Dead's live shows for over two decades and across more than 3000 performances.

On November 10th, 1999, I attended my first ever Phil Lesh & Friends show at the New Haven Coliseum. The venue, affectionately known as 'the old barn,' was just off I-95 in lovely downtown New Haven, Connecticut. It also hosted my second Grateful Dead concert back in May 1978. The New Haven Coliseum did not age well and it was gone shortly after that show in 1999. A young lad, the 20-year-old Derek Trucks, was called in as an emergency fill-in guitarist, hired on the fly.

In the spirit of a bygone era, when the quill was mightier than the lute, we, the humble scribes at Grateful Web, find ourselves compelled to pen a tribute most heartfelt and profound. On this day, the sixth of March, in the year 2024, we celebrate the nativity of a maestro unparalleled, Sir David Gilmour, whose melodies have traversed the ether, touching souls as the sun doth grace the earth with its warming rays.

In the spirit of the unbound and the electric, akin to the wild rumpus of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters, Desmond Jones announces the release of a new kind of auditory adventure, "LIVE CUTS VOL. 1". This live album, woven from the vibrant threads of a decade's worth of live material, marks a first for the band—its release on streaming platforms. Encapsulating the essence of spontaneity and collective euphoria, this collection is a homage to the moment, to the unrepeatable magic of live music.

Coming May 3, 2024, this new album coming from anarcho labels PM Press and Free Dirt Records resurrects the lost history of the Wobblies' labor battles during the Spokane Free Speech fights of 1909. Surrounded by strike-busting Salvation Army bands paid for by the bosses, the International Workers of the World nicknamed them "Starvation Army" bands and fought back with their own IWW Brass Band. Lampooning and satirizing the religious imagery and jingoism of the scabs in the Salvation Army, the IWW Brass Band's songs would set the template for using folk song as a form of protest.

Project Pabst, produced by Pabst Blue Ribbon, is excited to unveil the music lineup for its highly anticipated return, taking place at Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon for the first time in seven years this July 27 and 28. Project Pabst is a two-day, two-stage celebration of live music, beer, and the local culture of the Pacific Northwest.
