Summer is here, and with it comes festival season. This year’s lineup included the re-emergence of an old favorite: the All Good Now Music Festival. After a ten-year break, the festival returned with Sound Tribe Sector 9 headlining and Lotus opening the pre-party at The Anthem in Washington, D.C.

Last weekend, the Connecticut-based jam thrill ride known as Goose doled out two solid nights of high energy and creativity to the Colorado Front Range.

Dennis McNally’s The Last Great Dream (Da Capo, 2025) won’t help you recreate the 1960s – that ship has sailed. But McNally’s new book provides a clear-eyed, rear-view mirror exploration of the mid-20th century counterculture in the United States. From poetry to politics to psychedelic music, McNally covers a wide waterfront; The Last Great Dream is a wild ride full of factoids and true folk tales from far and wide. It’s a fun and informative read for anyone intrigued by the era. In certain circles, Dennis McNally is best known as the Grateful Dead publicist from the mid-1980s until several years after Jerry Garcia died. He’s also a published historian, with books under his belt about Jack Kerouac, the Grateful Dead, and the evolution of American culture.

The bond between the band members was powerful and purposeful.

On a spectacular late-spring evening—May 29—Jason Bonham and his band flooded the Vina Robles Amphitheatre with the timeless sounds of Led Zeppelin. Fans arrived early for just the second concert of what is shaping up to be the venue’s busiest season yet, as Nederlander expands its 2025 schedule.
