Greensky Bluegrass delivered a dynamic two-night run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this past weekend, September 13th and 14th, 2024, sending fans on a rollercoaster of jammed-out grooves, heartfelt melodies, and unexpected twists. As always, the band struck the perfect balance between bluegrass roots and exploratory improvisation, proving why they continue to reign as one of the scene's most captivating live acts.

Sound Summit returns to the majestic Mountain Theater on the slopes of Mount Tamalpais on Saturday, September 7, for a day of great music and celebration. This year’s event features an eclectic and diverse lineup. Co-headlining the intimate gathering are two indie-rock icons: virtuosic guitarist and deft lyricist Courtney Barnett and rock/folk/psychedelic powerhouse Kurt Vile.

This exciting waterfront music festival overlooking the Napa River with gorgeous views of Mt Diablo is growing up fast. Now in its third year, the festival has expanded to 2 days and features some of the biggest names in funk on Sep 9th and super soulful west coast bands on Sep 10th. San Francisco attendees have the option to take the SF Bay Ferry to and from the festival this year.

Good Vibez Presents, the all-types-of-music-loving promoters behind the beloved California Roots Music & Arts Festival, are pleased to announce the return of Rebels & Renegades in 2023. A once-a-year gathering of musical hippies and cowboys in Monterey, California, Rebels & Renegades will once again take place at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, this year bringing music to festivalgoers over three days; October 6-8, 2023.

With DelFest 2023 just a few weeks away, festival organizers—including DelFest brainchild and namesake Del McCoury and his extended McCoury family—are finalizing every last detail to make this year’s festival the best one yet. Returning to its longstanding home in Cumberland, Maryland, over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-28), DelFest has just announced the 2023 late-night lineup and added one more very special act to the bill: Jason Carter & Friends.

DelFest, the festival brainchild of Del McCoury and his extended McCoury family, is celebrating its 15th year in 2023, and for those who’ve been all 14 years or those looking to make their first Memorial Day memories with Del and the gang, today is the day everyone’s been waiting for: The initial DelFest 2023 lineup is here!

“This record is all about love and good lovin’ and other things that matter,” says The California Honeydrops’ frontman, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynski of the band's brand new LP, Soft Spot. Released today, Soft Spot finds the band drawing deep from the soulful well of the great rhythm and blues acts that came before them—from roots rock to classic Bay Area R&B, to Southern soul, Delta blues, and New Orleans second line.

“Good lovin’ is something we all look forward to,” says The California Honeydrops’ singer and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynkski of the band’s new single, “In Your Arms.” The tune is, naturally, a reflection of his sentiment; a good time, toe-tapping love song riding on the wings of the Bay Area’s resident R&B machine.

“Nobody really wants to lose a good thing / But I see it again and again,” sings The California Honeydrops’ soulful lead vocalist Lech Wierzynkski, floating above the Bay Area R&B-tinged sound he and his band have become loved for over their last fourteen years together. “Nothing At All,” the latest single from the Honeydrops’ upcoming album Soft Spot, rides a mid-tempo groove with elements of Allen Touissant’s New Orleans-y arrangements, George Benson’s laid-back vibe, and sweet, high vocals a la Curtis Mayfield ballads.

Bay-Area R&B/Soul favorites The California Honeydrops set the scene for their new single, “I Miss You Baby Pt. 1,” with a sensual, unassuming piano intro before a snare drum crack ushers in the song’s signature staccato horn line and the dance party ensues. The juxtaposition of the song’s upbeat feel and lonesome lyrics is exactly how Honeydrops vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynkski wanted it to play out. “Dance to this one to get all that reminiscing and regret out of your mind, body, and soul,” he encourages.
