This week I wanted to add a theme to the selections as I did when we did an All-Bonnaroo edition. Last week ScottyB ran a great list of touring jambands that didn’t make it out of the 2000’s. The five groups featured in this piece are jambands that are indeed going to make it as touring bands carrying their respective ensembles into 2010 and hopefully well beyond.

Artist & Title: Blues Traveler – But Anyway
Date & Venue: 2009-10-06 The Paradise, Boston MA
Taper & Show Download: Dave Mallick

If longevity is the name of the game this week, Blues Traveler is a good band to lead off having formed in 1987 and put out their first album in 1990. Sure, they might not be playing arenas anymore (The Paradise in Boston is a room all of the other bands in this feature have outgrown), but they’re still out there gigging. Blues Traveler plays tonight at The Fillmore in Charlotte, NC.

Artist & Title: the Disco Biscuits – Donde?
Date & Venue: 2009-09-12 Starland Ballroom, Sayreville NJ
Taper & Show Download: Jesse Hurlburt

the Disco Biscuits didn’t hit their goal of releasing their next studio album before Chinese Democracy, but Planet Anthem IS slated for a January 2010 release. The Biscuits also have announced they will be issuing three EP’s leading up to January, the first of which is due this month. There is no tracklist available, so I can’t tell you if Donde? is on the album, but it was debuted at this September 12th show. tDB have just started an extended fall tour, they’ve got today off and play tomorrow in Fayetteville, AR.

Artist & Title: Del McCoury Band – Cold Rain and Snow
Date & Venue: 2009-06-26 – The Crossroads, Kansas City MO
Taper & Show Download: Jeremy Lykins

This is the Del McCoury Band’s take on the traditional song Cold Rain and Snow. This arrangement is similar to that of the Grateful Dead’s which was similar to that of Obray Ramsey. The band has dates scheduled through March of 2010 and appears this weekend at the High Sierra Music Festival.

The Disco Biscuits’ Marc Brownstein Keeps Ears Listening (INTERVIEW)

In the past year, The Disco Biscuits’ bassist Marc Brownstein founded his own voter registration group, HeadCount, had his first baby, and watched drummer Sammy Altman announce he is leaving the band after New Years. With all that going on, we skipped the usual interview fact sheet to discuss life behind the bass on a more candid level.
