Those chilly winds are blowing us back to Mexico for another unforgettable experience! Dead Ahead Festival returns to the breathtaking Riviera Cancun from January 9-13, 2025, offering five nights of music in paradise. The centerpiece of the event will be three incredible nights of collaboration as Dead Ahead Fest featuring a powerhouse lineup: Sturgill Simpson, Rick Mitarotonda, Jeff Chimenti, Oteil Burbridge, Don Was, and Jay Lane, along with special guests Brittney Spencer, Grace Bowers, and the incomparable Brandi Carlile.

Hulaween has just revealed its highly-anticipated festival theme and set times for the 11th annual edition taking place from Thursday, October 24 - Sunday, October 27, 2024, at Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida.

In the shadowed recesses of a desert oasis, where the neon lights of Las Vegas flicker like distant stars, Dead and Company brought their grand odyssey to a close on the evening of August 10th, 2024. It was a night that whispered of echoes, of journeys past and present, and of a legacy that refuses to be silenced.

Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros featuring The Wolfpack continue their groundbreaking and much beloved symphony collaborations. The band returns to the road this November, performing with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra on November 13 at Cincinnati Music Hall, the Chicago Philharmonic on November 17 and 18 at the Auditorium Theatre and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra on November 22 and 23 at the Saenger Theatre.

Following the historic sold-out 10th anniversary in 2023, Suwannee Hulaween has just announced its monster, multi-genre lineup for the 11th annual edition, returning home to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida from Thursday, October 24 - Sunday, October 27, 2024.

I didn’t plan on going to the Sphere to see Dead and Company (a.k.a. “Dead & Co.”) during their months-long “Dead Forever” residency. But after missing U2 and Phish during the inaugural year of the high-tech Las Vegas arena, it was high time I went to check out the uber-visual experience. It doesn’t hurt that Dead & Co.

Don Was – the veteran, multi-Grammy-winning musician/producer and current president of Blue Note Records – is one of those virtual Renaissance men who always seems to have many pots a stirring. Over time, he has been a bassist, record producer, music director, film composer, documentary film maker and radio host. And 2024 promises to be no less busy for him.

Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real (POTR) commanded the stage on Thursday, February 29, the second of two jam- and fan-packed nights at San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium.

For over two hours, Nelson and Co. delivered a ton of butt-kicking rock and roll, oodles of Texas stomp and swagger, and a healthy dose of mellow sweetness to round out the flavor. A surprise appearance by Bob Weir was icing on the cake.

In a unique fusion of rock and classical music, Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros, joined by The Wolfpack, will collaborate with the esteemed National Symphony Orchestra for an unforgettable two-night event. Conducted by the renowned Steven Reinke, these performances are scheduled for August 28 and 29 at the prestigious Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia.
