In today's flashy, tech-y, trend-addicted, junk-the-old/jack-in-the-new pop music culture, it is ever-so-fashionable to throw dirt on the coffins of guitar-based rock 'n'roll bands and not even toss a funeral rose. Whether you stumble into them in online music reviews and blogs, People magazine, or even Rolling Stone, you can read the dismissals practically every day. But, thankfully, not here at Gratefulweb.com!

Indy Festival Partners in association with the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center today announced the second All IN “Dreamset” lineup of all star artists uniting for a one-time-only celebration of all-time great songs. This new Dreamset will celebrate the songs of Tom Petty and take place on night 2 of the inaugural All IN Music & Arts Festival, Labor Day weekend, Saturday, September 3 and Sunday, September 4, 2022 in Indianapolis.

Bluegrass music is nothing short of catharsis for The Slocan Ramblers. On their new album Up the Hill and Through the Fog (coming June 10, 2022), the all-star Canadian roots ensemble channels the past two years of loss into a surprisingly joyous collection of twelve songs intended to uplift and help make sense of the world.

External Combustion, the new album from Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, is set for release on March 4 via BMG.

Fans can pre-order External Combustion HERE.

There's a story that Stevie Nicks wanted to join Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. They had some major hits together; yet, she never joined the band full time.

The Petty Nicks Experience is a 'What if..." idea. We combine the very best of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and Stevie's solo work along with some Fleetwood Mac. This is just an amazing experience. It's a real Rock N Roll high! Hope to see y'all very soon at a show!

Into The Great Unknown is the title track of the 2021 EP release by New Earth Farmers. This song was written not long after Tom Petty passed and there are some subliminal nods to Tom in the lyrics. We are all huge fans of Tom and The Heartbreakers and also fans of The Traveling Wilburys, which influenced the production of the recording. The ending of the video includes a re-enactment of a midnight hallucinogenic experience in a cemetery in southwestern Missouri in the 70s (true story).

Angel Dream, the new reimagined version of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ 1996 album Songs and Music from the Motion Picture “She’s The One,” is out today and is widely available digitally and on CD and black vinyl. Purchase/stream HERE.

A portion of the proceeds made from ticket sales will be donated to the Colorado Healing Fund.
