Easy Star All-Stars have announced their 2016 spring tour: kicking things off with their annual 420 show at The Highline Ballroom in their hometown of NYC (on April 20, of course), the band then heads out to the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions for two more weeks on the road.

On March 11, 2016, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real will deliver their heavily-anticipated third album, Something Real, via Royal Potato Family.

Something Real documents the trail blazed by this hard-driving ensemble in its recent past. Most of all, it captures them in all their current glory as songwriters, performers and progenitors of the style they characterize as "cowboy hippie surf rock."

For nearly four decades the guitar playing of Steve Kimock has captivated listeners of all different musical palettes. The master improviser and bandleader is busy as ever, nearing an exciting nationwide tour with his new band K I M O C K featuring his son John Morgan Kimock on drums, familiar cohort Bobby Vega on bass, and Leslie Mendelson on vocals and piano. I’m here today with Steve to talk about this surge of new activity.

The Main Squeeze is a family whose roots spread far and wide, from rural Indiana to New York City. This theme is central; Unity in Diversity. Together, the 5-piece has crafted a sound that is both universal and individual; Rock and Roll, Funk and Soul, Electronic and Electric; whatever you wish to call it, you won’t be able to stop moving, or smiling. (OR "you won’t be able to avoid the dance floor"?)

Another Lockn' first timer, the beloved My Morning Jacket will headline on the Saturday night.
