Rarely do you get the chance to listen to a finished product 30 years in the making. Even rarer is when it’s any good. But Bill Cutler’s Crossing the Line is just that – a nice piece of work; it’s solid enough to make you wonder what took so long to get these songs — six of which were recorded with Jerry Garcia — released.
If there’s an underdog pick for album of the year so far – Plants and Animals’ Parc Avenue deserves consideration. The Montreal band, originally an acoustic/instrumental roots band, has grown into an expansive rock pop engine of epic anthems and ballads, much like fellow Montrealers Arcade Fire. We emailed wise guy drummer Matthew Woodley a few questions…just don’t call him “hippie.”
Warren Haynes is easily the hardest working man in jam. Between splitting time in the Allman Brothers and Gov’t Mule, the guitar-slinger is also the default go-to guy if you’re looking for a sit-in. I’m convinced that much like a Shazzan, if you shout his name at a show he’s obligated to appear. In addition to his on-stage work, each year the affable Haynes puts together his X-Mas Jam to benefit Habitat For Humanity.
So why am I telling you all of this? Well for our latest installment of Everybody Wins When We Plug Something And In Return They Offer Us Free Shit To Give Away we’ve got two copies of Warren’s XMas Jam benefit concert DVD up for grabs. Just follow the rules below:

We started Grousing The Aisles week with Billy Joel and the Grateful Dead, but now we’re gonna make a left turn towards the Heartland. Today, we’ve got a top-notch recording
With Sound Tribe Sector 9 and Umphrey’s McGee set to kickoff the Northeast leg of their co-bill tour tomorrow we figured we’d preview the shows with a review of last week’s Midwest run by Reuben of Partyin’ Peeps. You can catch the STUM9 tour at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC tomorrow night, Philadelphia’s Festival Pier on Friday and in Boston at the Bank of America Pavilion on Sunday.
It is 4:06 a.m. on Sunday here in the windy city and we just got back from STS9’s late night show at the House of Blues. I just want to start out by saying what a fantastic time these last five days have been. I don’t know about you guys, but I spend most of the year stuck inside boring law school classrooms counting down the days until Summer and daydreaming about weeks like the one I’ve just had…
…It is now Wednesday and I think that I’ve recovered enough to share some thoughts about the last week. Our run consisted of five days, five shows, nine sets, 1085 miles, and only one encore. We saw Umphrey’s McGee and STS9 in an amusement park in Cincinnati, a state park in Indianapolis, an old airport in Chicago, and a White Castle in Columbus. Over the course of the week I was not only impressed every single night at the level that Umphrey’s McGee is playing at, but I also was made a believer by STS9, a band that I had always secretly thought was only slightly above average.
