We are incredibly proud to announce that the Taj Mahal Trio will take the stage at 8:15 pm Saturday, August 27th for the 18th annual NedFest! With a half-century-long career this 2 time Grammy Award winning (9 times nominated) legend is often cited as a major influence by superstars like Ben Harper and Greg Allman. He has worked with greats like Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Etta James, and the Rolling Stones. He's played on Fallon's Late NIght with The Roots and with Eric Clapton at the Lincoln Center.

Set amidst the towering California Redwoods on the banks of the Eel River sits Northern Nights Music Festival, slated this summer for the weekend of July 15-17, 2016. Labeled as, “Not Your Cookie Cutter Festival,” the 4^thyear team behind NNMF has again curated a trendsetting lineup of international, national and local musical talent.

“Oh man, Bill Withers, oooh, he just gets me all over, you know?” a middle-aged woman I’d never met revealed to me as we waited for The New Stew to take the stage last night.

In just the second night of their limited run playing Withers’ classic 1973 album, Live at Carnegie Hall, it was clear that all over feeling is likely to spread.

It was a double whammy of new record releases at the Great American Music Hall for the Dead Winter Carpenters and The Sam Chase and the Untraditional. Both bands dropped highly anticipated new albums, but welcomed Marty O’Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra to get the night going.

The Grateful Dead's legendary 1977 Spring Tour stands as a pinnacle in their storied career. Nestled in the Northeast, I was fortunate to attend the second show of this historic journey, held in Springfield on April 23rd. The experience was nothing short of transcendental; witnessing the band in peak performance reaffirmed their unparalleled musical prowess. Imagine my elation when a dear friend extended the invitation of a lifetime: a coveted front-row seat for their upcoming spectacle at the illustrious Boston Garden on May 7th
