If you’ve heard of the jam band The Bridge featured on The Wire, you may already know Cris Jacobs. His latest album, One of These Days, was released on April 26, 2024. Following the release, Jacobs embarked on a tour with Tommy Emmanuel but had to cancel some shows due to a family bereavement. He performed at the Grand Ole Opry alongside Lindsay Lou and continued playing major festivals such as High Sierra, Telluride, and 4848. The passing of Phil Lesh, whom he and his father admired, deeply affected him.

There are few music festivals with the legacy of the High Sierra Music Festival (HSMF). After more than thirty years, HSMF has truly become far more than the sum of its parts. Sure, there's a ton of world-class music on several stages, parades, activities for kids, crafts and vendors, killer food, and all that. And of course, there's the camping scene, a hippie town that springs up almost overnight on the Plumas County Fairgrounds for the four-day festival around the Fourth of July each year.

The much-anticipated Lewes Concert Series is set to make its grand return starting Wednesday, June 12, promising more music and breathtaking sunsets!

Kicking off the series is the Rolling Stones Tribute Band – The Classic Stones, followed by a special Thursday night performance by Baltimore, Maryland native Cris Jacobs, and local sensation Sweet Leda.

Annapolis Baygrass Music Festival has announced the exciting lineup for its 2-day beachfront music festival at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis, MD on September 30 and October 1, 2023.
 
By celebrating the best in regional and national bluegrass, jamgrass, and Americana music, the festival expects to attract fans from across the region as well as throughout the country to enjoy the special destination of Annapolis, Maryland, and the entire Chesapeake Bay area.

Beer, Bluegrass, Mountains: The WinterWonderGrass-Tahoe festival’s first venture in three years – thanks, COVID — succeeded with flying colors, April 1 to 3. The fest location, adjacent to Olympic Village, which was the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, was the first festival of the year for many, and brought a distinctive assemblage of mountaintop adventure-seekers for a sweet conglomeration of jam-happy roots and bluegrass music, pleasing craft brews, and mountain views.

All Good Presents is thrilled to announce the third edition of the 4848 Festival, happening July 7 – 9, 2022.  With both festival stages standing tall atop Snowshoe Mountain Resort in Snowshoe, WV, the event lineup features Greensky Bluegrass (two nights), Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, The Wood Brothers, Leftover Salmon and over a dozen more.

Celebrating its 30th year in 2022, High Sierra Music Festival is continuing to add to its milestone-year party, returning to Quincy, CA, June 30th through July 3rd. Today’s lineup appeals to as broad a range of fans as ever before, all the while keeping true to High Sierra’s legacy; an environment that has kept fans and musicians thrilled to return year after year, for three decades.
