The skies were a hand-painted blue as fans arrived for this year’s Miracle in Mundelein, a two-day festival on the grounds of Rise Dispensary in Mundelein, Illinois. DJ Papa G set the tone early with hopping tunes and a cheery welcome as vendors prepared for a wild weekend of music, cannabis, and celebration. This is an “all adult” gathering, with merchants dedicated to the culture and enjoyment of cannabis.

Brooklyn-based jazz-rock innovators Alex Skolnick Trio (AST) return this fall with PROVE YOU’RE NOT A ROBOT, the group’s sixth LP, arriving November 7, 2025. The album’s first single, a wildly inventive take on Tom Petty’s “Breakdown,” is available today. Listen here.

She’s a founding member of one of the hottest bands in bluegrass, but Sister Sadie’s Gena Britt has a stellar reputation of her own that goes back more than 30 years.

Ferrell’s story is as fascinating as her music. A West Virginia native who once hopped trains and busked in Seattle, New Orleans, and Asheville, she now commands some of the biggest stages in Americana. Her sound is a wild cocktail—old-time country, gypsy jazz, ragtime, folk, bluegrass—all filtered through a voice that feels like it belongs to another century yet speaks directly to today.

Sam Burchfield has shared a new single. Americana Highways premiered “Morning Light,” noting, “With hushed acoustic guitar and introspective reflective vocal style, this song is a daydream of pondering in the sunrise of the morning light. Strings crescendo like a true sunrise and the effect is subtle yet glorious.” Burchfield recorded the song at home in the middle of the night, stirred awake by an unnerving impulse.

Neil Young. Legend. Icon. Still crushing it in his eightieth year on planet Earth. The dude just keeps going and going and going. (See “Bunny, Energizer.”)

Mr. Young brought his band The Chrome Hearts to the Bay Area’s Shoreline Amphitheatre on Friday night for two hours of solid, butt-kickin’ American rock and roll. He may be an “Old Man,” but take a look at his life – he’s 79, and he’s doing just fine.

Umphrey’s McGee opened their three-night run at the majestic Mishawaka Amphitheatre last night with pure rock ’n’ roll swagger and style. What a wonderful evening in the canyon, and holy cow, Colorado, way to show up and support the gurus of groove. The crowd was fully invested before a single note was played; the energy spinning through the audience before the show started was electric, highly enthusiastic, and welcoming.

Ross Flora, the Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist, will release his highly anticipated new album The Garden on September 19, 2025. Blending Americana, country, and Southern rock, the record reflects Flora’s deep musical roots and relentless passion for storytelling.
