Apart from hip-hop and the occasional rock or country song, these times of protest and divisiveness lack the musical voices of the Civil Rights or anti-Vietnam War movements of the ‘60s.  No longer do we hear the power of those classic songs such as “We Shall Overcome,” “I Shall Not Be Moved,” Respect Yourself,” and […]

Paul Schalda is an artist without artifice. On his debut solo album, Lately, the Texas transplant troubadour channels the human experience with a transparent, poetic purity. With instinctive melodies and a singularly visceral voice, Schalda’s folk-flecked indie soul is at once vulnerable, personal, and hugely relatable. Lately is being released by Skylark Soul Co. on […]

While writing the Leadbetter Band’s latest album, Eric Leadbetter was experiencing something of a rebirth. New songs poured out in a creative surge, band dynamics were exhilarating, and he was savoring being out of the grip of alcohol. Aptly, the hard rockin’ trio’s new album is titled Spell, as in “free from your spell,” a […]

As they wrap up a milestone year celebrating their 35th anniversary, beloved jam band moe. has announced the Born To Fly Tour – 2026. The new U.S. tour spans February through May, with multi-night runs in Washington D.C., Richmond, and Long Island, along with long-awaited returns to cities across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Texas. The […]

By the year 2000, Outkast had very little left to prove to any but themselves. While their commercial peak would come with the 2003 release of their risky yet widely successful double album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, the duo of Big Boi and André 3000 had already covered plenty of ground creatively. Outkast had transformed into […]

Music has always been a part of the casino experience. Anyone who frequents these establishments is used to the sound of slot machines, the shuffle of cards, and the roll of dice. However, live performances are usually the source of the rhythm that creates the mood. Casinos have been entertainment centers for a long time, […]

Continuing our spotlight on Unwound this week, for today’s Tuesday’s Gone, we’re showcasing this awesome footage of the band performing “Hexenzsene” live at Off the Record (a record store in San Diego) from 1997. As rad as the performance is, the intro interview and commentary from the band sprinkled in towards the end of the […]

We’ve long marvelled at Jano Rix’s ability to play drums and keyboards simultaneously with The Wood Brothers. Now we know that it’s all part of his DNA as his lookalike dad and mentor, Luther Rix, proves to be a talented drummer and composer. The father-son duo records together for the first time on RIX: Legacy, […]

The real attraction(s) of the Little Feat reissues in recent years have been the live recordings of the band at various stages of its career, and the four-compact-disc-plus package of The Last Record Album is no exception. But the studio inclusions here are equally enticing and intoxicating on their own terms. As with its companion pieces, concert […]

American Hell is the new album by Whiskerman, a sprawling double LP set to be released in two parts, beginning with American Hell Pt. I on January 26th, 2026. Following up 2023’s Champions (Deluxe Edition), the new album is both a return to form and a statement of purpose for the band, their first collection […]

The Planes were founded in 2009 in a dilapidated Brooklyn apartment by Massachusetts-born songwriter Stephen Otto Perry and a loose collection of friends. Soon, a regular lineup was formed, and the band began playing local shows in venues that are now all banks, condos, or overpriced restaurants. They released their first full-length album in 2011 […]

Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKAY, a vocalist for The Grateful Dead during one of their most fruitful periods in the 1970s, died at the age of 78 from cancer. Her vocals added warmth and harmony to songs like “Scarlet Begonias,” “Eyes of the World,” and “Playing in the Band,” but she was also known for her sometimes […]

Bobby Halvorson is a Sacramento-based singer, songwriter, and composer whose music blends orchestral sophistication with intimate, California-born songwriting. After more than a decade immersed in the Los Angeles art rock scene with his band Brother, Sister, Halvorson brings his deep musical roots and formal training—a doctorate in music composition, to his solo work. His expansive […]

Midlake, the rock-fusion outfit that emerged from Texas in the late nineties, has proven and endured a lot over the years. From band members leaving to drastic sonic shifts that range from atmospheric psychedelia to twinkling experimental indie rock, the band has long proven that their range knows no bounds. Still, there is an underlying, […]

Bob Dylan said in 1966, “Obviously, death is not very universally accepted. I mean, you’d think that the traditional music people could gather from their songs that mystery is a fact, a traditional fact.” These words perfectly encapsulate Mike Tod’s musical approach, one unafraid to venture into the darkest places, or as he himself describes, […]

Halloween hangover got you down? Then why not unwind with a little Unwound this week —a fitting band to help you transition from the hype and decadence of October into the more autumnal, introspective nature of November? And although Unwound steadily evolved into more cerebral and atmospheric territory throughout their active years in the 90s […]

In a musical landscape where many bands tend to blend together, it’s refreshing to hear a vocalist whose voice instantly defines their band. That’s the case with Geese, whose frontman, Cameron Winter, sounds unmistakably like himself. Winter evokes an early echo of Patti Smith — lanky, sardonic, poetically dark, and effortlessly bridging punk energy with […]

For the second year in a row, Billy Strings transformed Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena into his own personal haunted house. The bluegrass phenom brought his guest-laden multi-day extravaganza to Charm City these past Friday and Saturday evenings, delivering a quartet of marathon sets and a litany of musical surprises.  While we’re primarily going to focus on […]
