Blue Curtain, a Princeton summer tradition, returns to Pettoranello Gardens Amphitheater with two free concerts in July. The venue is located at Route 206 and Mountain Avenue.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while the shadows danced and the moon hung low, we remember a soul whose voice carried the weight of a thousand hearts – Bill Withers, born on this day, July 4th, 1938. His songs whispered to the weary, called to the lost, and soothed the weary bones of a world often too busy to listen. Let us venture into the life and legacy of a man whose melodies transcended time, whose words bore the warmth of a summer's breeze, and whose spirit remains etched in the very fabric of our existence.

We've said it many times: never miss a Goose Philly show. For some reason, they morph into superhuman musicians whenever they play in Philadelphia, PA. Their performance at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts last Friday, June 28, 2024, followed suit. The show included a pair of guest sit-ins and was Goose's biggest headlining show to date.

On this July 4th, 2024, we light up the skies not just for the fireworks, but for a luminary in the world of bluegrass and Americana, the incomparable Peter Rowan. Born on Independence Day, Peter’s music embodies the spirit of freedom, innovation, and a boundless love for the rich tapestry of American roots music. Today, we celebrate his enduring influence, legendary collaborations, and the songs that have shaped generations of music lovers.

In an era where attention spans are often short, the ability to command a room for a full hour and then some is a skill possessed by a select few. Last night’s performance by Cage The Elephant at San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium proved to be an elating and gripping culmination of the dedication Matt Shultz and company have given to their craft over the past several decades together.

Today, London-based producer and singer-songwriter Liza Lo has shared a new single titled “Confiarme.” The single follows her recent track "A Messenger", which marked her debut for independent analogue specialist label, Gearbox Records (home to Abdullah Ibrahim, Binker & Moses, Thiago Nassif, Levitation Orchestra, Graham Costello, and more).

Kentuckian Bill Taylor brings mountain soul to “Roll Me Away,” the third radio single from the all-star tribute to Bob Seger, SILVER BULLET BLUEGRASS (Lonesome Day Records distributed by SONY/The Orchard). The track drops July 5 on all streaming platforms, and the album will be available (vinyl, disc, streaming) July 12.

Music Factory Records recording artist Ari Joshua is set to bring his vibrant and eclectic sound to the heart of Shakedown Street at the Tuscany Casino's Copa Room. As part of the Dead & Co after-party festivities during their Spheres 2024 residencies, the Ari Joshua Band will be performing on July 5th and 6th from 11 PM to 3 AM both nights.

Today, rock legend HEART announced the postponement of all remaining shows on their headlining Royal Flush Tour and Journey/Def Leppard Stadium Tour due to Ann Wilson’s recent health concerns. In a public statement, Ann says:

Dear friends,

The operation was successful & I'm feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy & I've decided to do it.
