The Phish Summer 2017 charity signed poster auction is now live. The auction features all of the Bakers Dozen posters as well as Chicago, Dayton, and Pittsburgh.  Every poster is signed by Trey, Mike, Page, and Jon. The auction ends in less than a week (Sept 12). Last week we donated to two Texas animal rescue charities. With Florida facing a possible similar situation, our plan is to continue to support animal rescue organizations from this auction as well.

For the better part of 2017, Aqueous have been touring coast-to-coast, both in support of Umphrey's McGee, and headlining their own dates. The group has even made their way around this year's festival circuit, playing to packed stages at national festivals like Peach Music Festival and Summer Camp Music Festival, with their debut performance at Suwanee Hulaween scheduled for this October.

Clouds rolled into the final day of Lockn’ cooling the summer sun and creating a pleasant last day for the festival. Collaborations abounded on the last day much to the delight of music fans who stuck it out for the nearly none stop four-day musical jam. This year Lockn’s audience was nothing other than exuberant, cheerful and respectful. The multigenerational crowd seemed almost like a giant extended family on a huge holiday picnic.

Southern California singer/songwriter Matt Westerman has just premiered his new single “One Fine Day” over on AXS.com. The anthemic and empowering track is the first single off of Matt’s debut EP, “Life Out Loud,” which will see a release on November 3rd.

The third day of Lockn’ was another beautiful day with warm summer sunshine peeking out occasionally through welcome waves of high clouds. Day three of the festival featured more bands than Friday, with only Widespread Panic and Joe Russo’s Almost Dead playing extended jam sessions. The day started early out in the forest with a 10 am wake-up set by keyboard player Holly Bowling at the Terrapin Station stage.

The Bay Area’s Tallest Man Records is excited to announce the release of “Nobody Wins” the first track off the forthcoming EP Universe Out of Time from 7 Come 11 due out on September 29th.

As a music journalist for a decade and a half, I see a lot of live music. But every once in a while, I catch a concert that gives me a special feeling of knowing that I have seen music history and something sonically special. This was one of those moments. A few years ago here, it was Lana Del Rey who captivated her sold out show. This summer, it was her male musical soul mate Father John Misty.

VAN MORRISON has released a video for his recording of the Sam Cooke classic "Bring It On Home To Me, a song from his new album ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES, due out September 22 on Exile/Caroline. The video was shot at a one-off gig this past July at London's Porchester Hall in front of a captive audience.

It was another beautiful day Friday, August 25th at the Lockn’ music festival. The music began early on this second day of the festival. Most of the 20,000-people attending the festival had arrived by the time the main stage sprang to life just after 4 pm.
