GIBSON Presents The 2024 Allman Betts Family Revival

The Allman Betts Family Revival tour officially launched this past weekend with stops in Chicagoland and Minneapolis. Now in its eighth consecutive year, the tour celebrates the enduring legacy of the Allman Brothers Band and travels coast to coast, featuring a stellar lineup of guest performers, including Robert Randolph, Sierra Hull, Grace Bowers, Anders Osborne, and many others.

Acclaimed band Flatland Cavalry will take their electric live shows across the country next year with their newly confirmed “Flatland Forever Tour.” Stops include Atlanta’s Coca-Cola Roxy, Birmingham’s Alabama Theatre, Omaha’s Steelhouse Omaha, Ann Arbor’s Michigan Theater, Madison’s The Sylvee, Memphis’s Minglewood Hall, Charlottesville’s Ting Pavilion, and Portland’s Crystal Ballroom, among many others. See below for the complete tour itinerary.

Decca Records has announced Chet Baker Re:Imagined, a collection of songs recorded by a diverse array of international talent to celebrate the legacy of one of the most unique, charismatic, and influential figures in jazz history. Released to mark the 70th anniversary of the seminal album Chet Baker Sings, this 15-track compilation presents modern reworkings of the trumpeter and singer’s repertoire, underscoring the enduring influence of one of the 20th century’s most creative artists.

Known for their genre-fluid sound and electrifying live shows, Virginia-based rock band Kendall Street Company is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, "Billy Pilgrim (I Think We've Been Here Before)". Inspired by the timeless themes of discontent and existential angst, the track marries the punchy spirit of mid-90s alternative rock with the band’s trademark creativity and lyrical depth.

MerleFest, presented by Window World, has added I’m With Her, Leftover Salmon, Stephen Wilson Jr., The Steel Wheels, Tami Neilson, Becky Buller, and more to its 2025 lineup. Taking place April 24–27, 2025, on the campus of Wilkes Community College, the annual celebration of founding legend Doc Watson will host both legendary names and exciting up-and-comers. These include fast-rising honky-tonk starlet Emily Nenni, Colorado-rooted newgrass ensemble The Fretliners, blues-drenched guitar virtuoso Cristina Vane, and dozens of others.

After the up-tempo ’90s vibe of this summer’s Dwight Yoakam cover, “This Drinkin’ Will Kill Me,” Benson — the husband-and-wife duo of award-winning pickers Kristin Scott Benson (banjo) and Wayne Benson (mandolin) — downshifts to a subdued mood and distinctly contemporary sound with their latest single for Mountain Home Music Company, “Down That Road.”

The Industrial Strength Bluegrass Summer Fest is back for 2025, bringing three days of exceptional bluegrass music to the heart of Ohio from July 17-19, 2025. Hosted at the Greene County Expo Center, this family-friendly festival is the perfect destination for bluegrass enthusiasts and music lovers alike.

The Heart of Bluegrass Excellence

Big Head Todd and the Monsters were welcomed home with open arms the last two nights from sold out crowds at Washington’s in Fort Collins, Colorado. It's always heart warming when BHTM walk onto any stage in the Rocky Mountain state. There is so much love and adoration for their soul shaking longevity you can’t ignore the infectious energy they bring. The band is celebrating their forty year history as a band and what a mile stone that is.

On December 1, 1979, the Grateful Dead graced the stage of the Stanley Theatre in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, delivering a performance that has since become a cherished gem among fans. This show captures the band at a transitional period, with keyboardist Brent Mydland solidifying his role and bringing new energy to the ensemble. The night was a blend of classic tunes, exploratory jams, and moments of pure musical magic.

On this December 1st, 2024, we at Grateful Web find ourselves adrift on the sonic seas, sailing towards the horizon where memory and melody entwine. It is here we celebrate the birth of Jaco Pastorius—a man who didn't just play the bass guitar but transformed it into an instrument of cosmic communication.
