‘Ben Levin Presents A Holiday Blues Revue’ out today via VizzTone!

The Grateful Guitars Foundation announced their gift to legendary guitarist Steve Kimock: a recreation of Jerry Garcia’s iconic Wolf guitar. This will happen at his band Zero’s 40th anniversary shows at Petaluma’s Mystic Theater on November 8 and 9!

“There’s always a place for Joy (Clark).”

A throwback Clark show will air WWOZ-FM’s Jazz Festing in Place at 5:15 Thursday, Oct. 24, right before Dr. John’s Voodoo Fest performance from 2011.

“This festival has been a long-time dream of mine,” says Giddens. “It’s about honoring the connections that tie Black culture together across time and geography, whether it’s through music, food, or storytelling.”

Preparing for another West Coast tour, which includes a stop at the iconic acoustic lounge of The Viper Room in Hollywood, New Orleans-based Father Ron and Friends are excited to celebrate their Global Music Award (Bronze)!

‘Upside Down Blues,’ the debut album from Shyfrin Alliance, is almost as fitting a title as a record can have: twelve songs that fuse blues and rock with elements of jazz and soul to create an alternate musical universe that’s familiar and new all at once.

Nashville’s scene is such a rich landscape for storytelling and emotional expression, and soul-blues belter Lauren Anderson’s willingness to take risks while being intentional with her song choices is a powerful combination.

‘Settin’ The Woods On Fire’ out on November 22! ‘The Rill Thing’ and ‘Lifetime Friend’ out December 13, ‘King of Rock and Roll’ and ‘The Second Coming’ out January 10.

Grey, speaking of the upcoming tour, is excited to get started, saying, “Took long enough but it’s coming! Finally going to get our behinds out there to Texas, Arizona, Nevada and the West Coast to do that Olustee thang! Can’t wait!”

The debut single from The Whiskeymen establishes the band as a musical Ghidorah of sorts with one head in the blues, one head in roots and country, and the third in rock and roll.
