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.
