If ever there were a time to appreciate the endurance of music, it was last night at the venerable Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder, where legendary singer-songwriter Graham Nash graced the stage for his "Sixty Years of Songs and Stories" Tour. As the auditorium celebrates its 125th anniversary, Nash's compelling performance painted a vivid portrait of his life and a poignant reminder of the transcendental power of music.

Dead & Company's Final Tour rolled on to Queens, NY for a two-night stand at Citi Field, home of the NY Mets. Night one in the Big Apple kicked off on June 21, 2023, at this MLB stadium, with a capacity of around 41,000 fans. The band brought two vibrant sets that included a sit-in by drummer Joe Russo, from Joe Russo's Almost Dead.

Swanzey, NH is truly a gorgeous place to host a vibrant music and arts festival that is chock full of tasty jams and talented artists.

The stars must have been perfectly aligned over Saratoga Springs Performing Arts Center (SPAC) on the evening of June 18, 2023.

On Tuesday, June 13, Dead and Company made their fifth and final stop in Cincinnati for one final night with the Queen City Deadheads. In an effort to leave a memorable impression on the sold-out crowd at Riverbend Music Center, the band delivered an unbelievable performance that is sure to echo in the memories of the audience for years to come.

Peter Gabriel raised his hands over the keys of his electric piano and plonked them down, obviously missing the mark. The mistake was, umm, unmistakable.

“That’s what is technically known in the business as a ‘f***-up’,” the enigmatic art-rock singer wisecracked, after fumbling the beginning of the darkly brilliant song, “Family Snapshot”, at a North American gig in late 1982.

June 9th, 2023, Circles Around The Sun headed to the Rockies to kick off their triple header Colorado tour at the one and only Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver. CATS name shined as bright as a disco ball across the giant marquee sign. This special show not only included two incredible sets, but an additional late-night set that was out of this galaxy.

This past week, central Colorado continued its reign as the live musical mecca that locals and pilgrims have come to know as a true constant. With so many multi-night performances within a 150-mile drive of the Mile High City, it was difficult to decide what to do.

Connecticut's Eggy began their summer 2023 tour at the Homestead Bar and Kitchen in Morristown, NJ, last Wednesday, June 7, 2023, with smoke literally surrounding the building from the Canadian Wild Fires that unleashed their fury last week. The band took the stage despite the perils and rewarded those fans who braved the almost apocalyptic weather to be at the show for a delicious, smoking hot, midweek two-set show.

Dead and Company made their final run at Wrigley Field absolutely memorable for all who were in attendance. Since they began their farewell run at JazzFest, expectations have been through the roof at each and every stop so far. Wrigley was no different. They have been putting on epic shows at the Friendly Confines for years. And this year’s run was no different.
