While we wish the music was the big story from last night’s Phish tour closer at Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY instead it was the story of a fan who
For years country music superstar Dierks Bentley has made it known of his love for bluegrass music. So it was no surprise to his fans that he announced he was releasing a bluegrass project this year. Bentley recruited well known friend and producer/songwriter Jon Randall to help put together an album that would honor his love of this genre while putting his own spin on it.
Appropriately, Dax Riggs took to the stage during the witching hour for his compact set of dark rock on Saturday Night/Sunday Morning in lower New York City. The first of two shows in town, Dax was tighter then some past NYC performances which could have to do with his full backing band of Julian Primeaux on guitar, Charley Seiss on drums and bassist Kevin Fitzsimmons.
Closing this summer where they basically began last summer, Tuesday night’s fans were offered the perfect benchmark to see how far Phish has really come in their first year back. The Jones Beach ‘09 run showed great promise, featured a few debuts that are now set staples, and gave a glimmer of hope that the band was taking this third time around with a revived focus and commitment. One year later, all of that has apparently changed. People working the lot for a ticket were shutout, concise ‘09 debuts are being stretched and explored, and from the opening notes of “Fluffhead,” they delivered a top-to-bottom blowout that offered a heated first set and a second set that dipped into Type II territory.
The Orb, the visionary UK ‘ambient/house’ collective, came to collaborate with David Gilmour after working together on a version of Graham Nash’s “Chicago” for a charity project. Youth (aka Martin

Welcome to back to Strange Brew our monthly column dedicated to – as you probably have already guessed – beer. Each month, we’ll take a close look at a new or notable brew, or just one we think you should be drinking.
When it comes to big bold aggressive beers there are a few breweries that immediately come to mind, but maybe none that have been doing for as long and as well the Stone Brewing Company. Should you expect anything less from a brewery that uses a menacing gargoyle as their logo and has a beer called Arrogant Bastard?
Found in 1996, the Southern California brewery has built their reputation on around their overtly hoppy offerings, that are not only big in flavor, but size as well – with most of their brews available almost exclusively in 22-ounce bottles. Stone’s produces a diverse selection of year-round beers – highlighted by their flagship Pale Ale and IPA – as well as special limited releases that are perfect for aging, or drinking right away.
This month the fine folks at Stone have sent three of their more unique beers our way for tasting – Old Guardian Barley Wine, Russian Imperial Stout and new collaborative effort with Dogfish Head and Victory called Saison de BUFF.
