What begins as a groove in Club d’Elf’s world often becomes a doorway into someplace older, stranger and unshackled by time. The band has spent twenty seven years helping audiences lose track of time with its shape-shifting fusion of Moroccan trance, dub, electronica, jazz and improvised funk. Built around bassist and composer Mike Rivard, each […]

Sobriety, love, and the lack of both are just a few troublesome, deeply personal truths alt-country troubadour Adam Gaffney has been grappling with over the past few years. Like any great artist, though, Gaffney found answers and solace through his music. The results are the heartbreaking, painfully vulnerable Product of Another Sad Song, the latest […]

The Rhythm Devils Apocalypse Now sessions remain one of the weirdest and most compelling offshoots of the Grateful Dead universe. In 1979, director Francis Ford Coppola recruited Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann — together known as the “Rhythm Devils” — to craft percussion-driven soundscapes for the Vietnam epic Apocalypse Now. Instead of composing conventional songs, […]

The Rolling Stones have announced the release of their highly anticipated new studio album Foreign Tongues, arriving July 10th from Capitol Records.

The new album will be introduced by the upbeat and infectious […]

In July 1986, Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead slipped into a diabetic coma, remaining unconscious for five days and requiring months of recovery afterward. During his absence, bandmates Bill Kreutzmann and Brent Mydland formed a side project called Go Ahead. The band also included Alex Ligertwood and David Margen, who were members of Santana. Go Ahead kicked […]

For more than three decades, Trever M. Keith has lived the kind of restless, road-worn existence that tends to bleed into the art—equal parts grit, observation, and hard-earned reflection. Known to many as the driving force behind SoCal punk lifers Face to Face, Keith has long operated as a creative polymath, channeling his instincts not […]

Halfway to Mellowtown is the debut album from Austin-based Cento Threeo, a Jazz / Americana trio led by guitarist and composer Don Cento.

As we celebrate the 80th birthday of Bill Kreutzmann this Thursday, it’s worth appreciating that we still have one of the original members of the Grateful Dead, alongside Mickey Hart, although he joined a bit later. In the wake of the still-shocking loss of Bob Weir, it feels even more important to spotlight what Billy […]

A Different Thread is a transatlantic folk/alt-country duo based in North Carolina, formed by songwriters Alicia Best from Durham, NC, and UK-born Robert Jackson.

Christopher Barnes, the artist behind Lucifer’s Beard, releases his new single “Beep Bop Robot.” Recorded and mixed in Barnes’ home studio using predominantly analog equipment, what began as a simple drum loop quickly developed into a fully realized arrangement, with Barnes performing a “full band session” across multiple instruments to shape the track’s energy and […]

For more than two decades, Ike Reilly has carved out a singular lane as a rogue poet of the American fringe—equal parts barroom philosopher and street-corner storyteller. His tenth studio album Blind and Surrounded (due out June 12th via Rock Ridge Music)finds him operating at a creative peak, doubling down on the grit and grace […]

Elijah Ford would have to work hard at ignoring his musical roots; with amazing vocalist Kirsten Ford for a mother and guitar hero Marc Ford (The Black Crowes, Ben Harper) for a father, it’s obvious the multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter comes by his passion naturally. But Elijah’s also forged his own paths in his music making, whether it […]

Raised in Georgia, Hunter Morris didn’t fully commit to music until college, but once he did, the path was anything but conventional. After a short detour in Wyoming, he returned to the South and landed in Athens, Georgia, where he balanced life as a fly-fishing guide with fronting a string of rock bands. It was […]

Florence Dore has lived many lives throughout her musical career. While crafting her signature country-rock and cementing her place in the burgeoning contemporary scene as a thriving member of punk, rock, and country bands alike, Dore was earning a doctorate in American Literature.

Jeff Mamett writes songs rooted in place, work, memory, and the quiet bonds between people.

His forthcoming album, Fortunate Son (due out August 21st), is a collection of character-driven songs moving through rural landscapes, late shifts, front porches, and […]

Today (4/29/26), we celebrate the 93rd birthday of Willie Nelson. While he’s always carved his own lane—sometimes veering into the wonderfully weird—there aren’t a ton of truly oddball moments in his long career. But this one stands out. In 1984, on Pryor’s Place, the short-lived CBS kids’ show created by Richard Pryor, Willie delivers a […]

From the belly of the Black Country comes BIG SPECIAL, a spoken electro punk duo. Sending up a flare for working-class music and poetry from the West Midlands. The band exploded out of the depths of their hometown only a short three years ago. Yet their trajectory indicates something much larger than another simple addition […]

Late ’90s, Lund, Sweden. Ellen Birath hides in trees, humming Britney Spears, and makes a promise: “I’m going to be an artist.” At 11, she enters music school, discovers Queen and Freddie Mercury, and starts writing songs, stories, and poems shaped by a rich musical upbringing—from Billie Holiday to Pink Floyd. At 18, she moved […]
