It was a fabulous day of music, sunshine, good friends, good times and delightfully happy for fans at the 2018 Suwannee Roots Revival at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park (SOSMP) in Live Oak, Fla. And, folks, it's just starting with two more big days to go! Get over here or you will miss one of the best times ever!

The 10th annual California Roots Music and Arts Festival will take place at the historic Monterey County Fair and Event Center from May 24-26, 2019.  The top tier national festival is the premier gathering for the progressive U.S. Reggae and roots music movement and culture, bringing the scene together over Memorial Day weekend in beautiful Monterey, CA.
 

It was the second to last weekend in September which meant it was also time for the 2nd annual Bourbon and Beyond Festival to come to Champions Park in Louisville, Kentucky. Unfortunately, it also accounts for unpredictable weather, as last year’s festival had relentless sun and heat. This year was the opposite, pouring rains made the grounds spongy and turned to mud very quickly. But while that was happening, it didn’t stop 25,000 people to enjoy the music that was in store for the day.

Two time GRAMMY Award winning singer-songwriter John Prine and Sixthman, the industry leader in music festival vacation experiences, are thrilled to announce All The Best Fest, a four day celebration of amazing music and community at the world class Breathless + Now Onyx Resorts in Punta Cana,  Dominican Republic on November 11-15, 2019.

The final day of KAABOO Del Mar 2018 began early on Sunday, September 16th under balmy southern California skies.  Early bird concert goers again were greeted by light crowds and some great sets of music. By 1 PM an energetic young crowd had gathered in the courtyard in front of the chill Tourmaline stage. The Los Angeles based Vista Kicks treated the gathering to a spirited set.

On Sept. 23, to the delight of Bay Area live music lovers, Sweetwater Music Hall hosted the inaugural Sweetwater in the Sun festival in Marin County, California. Concertgoers nationwide are familiar with the legendary Sweetwater, an intimate venue that has hosted great acts over the decades ranging from Elvis Costello to New Riders of the Purple Sage. While the storied venue has a legacy for its high-profile acts in cozy confines, nothing could have prepared fans for the announcement of Sweetwater in the Sun.

The Fall Joshua Tree Music Festival (JTMF) promises a diverse, lovingly curated line up from around the globe against a stunning desert backdrop.  The festival is a four-day event with camping onsite that caters to music loving funsters and families with a sense of adventure.

Treasure Island Music Festival (TIMF) is excited to reveal today the daily set times and full performance schedule, the lineup of TIMF night shows and information regarding shuttles and transportation. Single day GA and VIP tickets are on sale now at www.TreasureIslandFestival.com, along with 2-day GA and VIP tickets.

Two homesick space aliens walk into a bar. They yearn to feel at home. So what do they order? What’s on tap? Hell no--Gary Numan, bro. Numan’s flowing tunic, octopus’ arms, and catatonic stare were made for the sound effects his amazing musicians manufacture. Now, the blistering electric solos would be grand enough alone, but when Numan sings his post-wave heart out and channels a higher spirit, you’ve got undefinable magic. The purveyor of 1979’s “Pleasure Principal’ still oozes Oxytocin into the air. Isn’t that illegal?

There was an angel sitting on Riot Fest’s shoulder this year. The annual, three-day extravaganza was anointed with spectacular weather and droves of receptive multi-generational devotees. The layout was easily navigable, with the two main stages, Riot and Roots, blessedly close in proximity, while Rebel, Radicals, and Rise were merely a cold brew away.
