Blues-rock titan Joe Bonamassa is marking the 10th anniversary of his landmark album Different Shades Of Blue with the release of his exciting single, “Better The Devil You Know.” Available now on all streaming platforms, this high-octane, R&B-infused blues rock track offers fans a fresh look at a critical moment in Bonamassa’s career.

Dan Tyminski was six years old when his parents began taking him to fiddle contests, square dances, and bluegrass festivals across New England. For a young musician who would later become one of the biggest names in modern-day bluegrass, those early experiences were life-changing. “Watching live music always spoke to me much louder than sitting in front of my record player,” he remembers. “I loved it. Wherever music was being played, I wanted to go watch,” remembers the 14-time Grammy-winning guitarist and vocalist.

It's been a 10-year wait, but Kelley Mickwee's soulful new single, "Force Of Nature," is premiering today at Glide Magazine. It’s the first release from Everything Beautiful, her first solo album in a decade and was co-written with Owen Temple and features David Jimenez on guitar. "I enlisted an amazing cast of characters, from Pumas to Gary Clark Jr. members to Heathens; it was a killer studio band,” Mickwee says.

Larry Bellorín, the legend of Llanera music, and Grammy-nominated bluegrass and old-time musician Joe Troop are back with their sophomore album, Manos Panamericanos, set for release on September 13. Despite their hectic touring schedule, the duo found time to reward fans with a second album, delivering an inspired collection of original and traditional songs featuring their signature musical mashup of “Latingrass.”

Ray LaMontagne—the celebrated Grammy Award winner—returns today from a 4-year LP hiatus with his highly anticipated ninth studio album, Long Way Home, released via the independent artist’s newly created label, Liula Records. Listen or purchase here.

Today, Devon Allman, is thrilled to unleash Miami Moon, Allman’s first solo LP in 8 years is out everywhere today via his own, Create Records.

For the album, Allman put together one of the finest studio bands in recent history featuring George Porter JR. (The Meters) on bass, Ivan Neville (Keith Richards, Dumpstaphunk) on keyboards, Adam Deitch (Lettuce) on drums, Karl Denson (The Rolling Stones) on saxophone, and Jackson Stokes on guitar.

Hailing from Bucks County, PA (not too far from Philadelphia), R.P. Mixon releases his second single, "Shades," a country-infused psychedelic love song with a Jerry Garcia-inspired guitar style and hints of Country & Western twang in his singing voice. The song begins with a groovy guitar riff that sits neatly between early '70s Jerry and Déjà Vu-era CSNY, cascading into an Americana-Southern-Rock vocal that would feel at home on stage supporting Josh Ritter or Jason Isbell at the Troubadour.

On August 13, 1975, The Grateful Dead played a show at the ridiculously small and distinctively decorous Great American Music Hall (GAMH) in San Francisco. This was one of only four concerts the band played that year, all of them in San Francisco. The setlist was mostly comprised of songs from the album Blues for Allah, which had not yet been released. Many Deadheads revere the GAMH performance as an all-time favorite.

While attending college in Boston, fiddler Maura Shawn Scanlin and guitarist Conor Hearn found themselves sharing the stage as members of the folk band Pumpkin Bread. But after bonding over their shared love of Celtic music, they began performing as a duo as well. Dubbing themselves Rakish, after the traditional Irish melody, “Rakish Paddy,” they began exploring and expanding on the traditions they started absorbing as children — Scanlin in the Blue Ridge Mountain town of Boone, N.C., right on the path of the Appalachian Trail; Hearn in the Celtic enclaves of Washington, D.C.

Acclaimed living legend of Afro-Cuban music, seven-time GRAMMY Award winner and six-time Latin GRAMMY Award winner Chucho Valdés celebrates his lauded 60-year recording career with an instant-classic, Cuba & Beyond, set for release on Friday, August 30, 2024. Valdés is the preeminent composer/pianist of modern Afro-Cuban jazz with international acclaim to his name for deftly fusing the music of his homeland with jazz, classical music, dance music, and rock.
