Clearly one of Nederland's favorite NedFest artists, when we didn't invite Kyle to play at last year's festival we caught all kinds of flack.

"Where's the Cheese?!!" was one of the many resounding exclamations. Well we heard you loud and clear and the Kyle Hollingsworth Band will be the kick-off act on Friday, August 26th for the 2016 Nederland Music and Arts Festival.

Steve Gumble, of Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, and Craig Ferguson, of Telluride Bluegrass Festival, have joined together to announce two very special shows from legendary guitarist and songwriter Neil Young in the world-famous mountain town of Telluride, Colorado.  

As announced yesterday by Consequence of Sound, Moon Hooch will tour the U.S. this fall. It will be their first extensive run of shows in the States since their new studio album, 'Red Sky' was released in June.

Not many musicians get to realize their early dreams, but in recording “Spinoza’s Dream,” singer/songwriter Dave Nachmanoff has fulfilled several at once. A huge fan of Al Stewart as a teen, Nachmanoff has assembled most of the musicians who played on some of Stewart’s iconic albums in the 70s to back him up here.

On September 14, 2002, hard rock pioneers Deep Purple took the stage for a landmark concert at the NEC in Birmingham, England to bid farewell to founding member and keyboard legend Jon Lord.

On August 26, Eagle Rock Entertainment will deliver this very concert with the release of Live At The NEC on DVD and Digital formats [MSRP $14.99]. Previously only available as part of the Around The World Live boxed set, this film is being made available for the first time as a standalone DVD.

The Sawtooth Brothers features two sets of brothers: Clint and Luke Birtzer + Jesse and Ethan Moravec.

After recording 4 traditional bluegrass and country albums, the brothers are excited to release their first all original album, “ONE MORE FLIGHT”.

On July 30, Boston’s own b.good is bringing music, real food and fun to beautiful Prowse Farm in Canton, and it’s all to do some good in our community. The Festival at the Farm will feature live music all day long with national acts and Boston’s best pop-up performances.

For 25 years, and with no sign of slowing, violinist Chris Murphy has made a living by writing, performing and recording original music. For Murphy, the path forward is charted by looking backward, to the troubadours and minstrels of ages past. Forget the exaggerated reports of the music industry’s demise. It’s only the record industry, a relative blip in the history of putting tones in sequence, that’s suffering. Music, and the opportunity to make a life’s work out of it, well, that’s not going anywhere.

Multi-instrumentalist Zach Deputy has announced the release of his fourth album, Wash It in the Water, on September 9, 2016. A self-described “island-infused, drum ‘n’ bass, gospel-ninja-soul” artist, Deputy played every instrument on the album and self-produced the record in spontaneous sessions that took place in studios, homes and even his own garage. The 11-track album represents a sunny and soulful new sound that cleverly fuses hip-hop, funk, folk and pop with soca and calypso rhythms.
