Al Schnier of moe.

Eggy
Connecticut based quartet Eggy recently released their sophomore record Waiting Game. As you’ll soon hear the process for this album was different than records and EPs of the past. The band who recruited White Denim guitarist James Petralli to produce the record purposefully wrote fresh material for the album that they didn’t play live until more recently. They also decided to let drummer Alex Bailey handle all the lead vocals on the record. What emerged from the sessions and ultimately became W

David Grisman
While Jerry Garcia collaborated with dozens of artists beyond fronting the Grateful Dead and The Jerry Garcia Band, few are as recognizable in name as David “Dawg” Grisman. As you’ll soon hear, their relationship was initially happenstance but as time wore on, it was inevitable that these two geniuses would meet and collaborate in both live and studio settings.

Matisyahu with Adam Weinberg
Last week, roots reggae musician Matisyahu dropped the Hold the Fire Acoustic EP and yes as the name suggests these are stripped down acoustic versions of the songs on the EP by the same name. This acoustic EP also features collaborator Adam Weinberg. A very poetic and poignant song for the times we’re living in. Matisyahu’s touring woes and the blatant anti-semitism he faces on tour have been well documented here and elsewhere, but true to his craft and his supportive community he sojourns on.

Bill Payne and Scott Sharrard of Little Feat
Little Feat’s story is one of longevity, an incredible catalogue of tunes, and excellent musicianship. The latest incarnation of the band, might be the closest we’ve heard since the band was formed back in 1969 by Lowell George, Billy Payne, Richie Hayward and Roy Estrada. The current line up is on tour most of the spring well into the summer, and they’re releasing an album full of blues covers and a few originals entitled Sam’s Place featuring percussionist turned vocalist Sam Clayton May 17th.
Cris Jacobs
We’ve waited five years for noted singer songwriter Cris Jacobs to release new music. Fortunately his latest effort “One of These Days” is now available wherever you buy and listen to music and it’s one of my favourites of the year so far. Backed by the Infamous Stringdusters and produced by Jerry Douglas, the new album is a blend of rock, soul, gospel and of course bluegrass. Obviously we had to talk to Cris about the new record, mental health and much more. Have a listen. First song: Work S

Joe Funk of The Kitchen Dwellers
Amongst the jam bands that seem like they are always on the road are The Kitchen Dwellers. The Montana based quartet are part bluegrass or even jamgrass and part psychedelia. Their unique sound and that constant touring ethos has created quite a story to unpack. The Kitchen Dwellers released their fourth studio album “Seven Devils” a few weeks back, which gave a reason to catch up with Joe Funk, the band’s upright bass player.

JJ Grey & Mofro

Warren Haynes of Gov't Mule
Gov’t Mule’s twelfth record, Peace Like a River is somewhat of a departure from previous records. Perhaps it was being cooped up during COVID or the fact that the band got their blues out on last years Heavy Load Blues, but this one hits different. It’s clear that front man Warren Haynes used the time constructing the songs on this record to hit harder lyrically but also explore sonic territories not yet explored by the Mule. I caught up with Warren to talk about the new record, many of the new

Jordan Fairless of Spafford
Earlier this week to the delight of Spaffnerds everywhere, Spafford released the 8 track EP Simple Mysteries. Nobody saw the release coming, though the band did tease on social media that something was brewing. Luckily enough for us, the surprise was indeed Simple Mysteries. The 8 songs on the EP can be divided up into 2 groups; songs that the band have been playing for years and brand news songs, that only recently have been showing up in setlists. I caught up with the bands bassist Jordan Fa

Tim Saxhaug of Trampled By Turtles
It’s been a minute since we last heard new music from Trampled by Turtles. In fact you have to go back to 2018’s Life is Good on the Open Road which seems like a life time ago, for their last record. For this, their tenth record the Minnesotan sextet enlisted the help of alt-country star and Wilco front man Jeff Tweedy to produce their latest batch of songs, the album Alpenglow. I had the chance to catch up with bassist Tim Saxhaug to get all the details on the release and where the band finds

Tom Hamilton Jr. of Ghost Light
For the uninitiated, Ghost Light is a pseudo all-star band made up of frontman Tom Hamilton Jr., Holly Bowling, Scotty Zwang and Raina Mullen and Taylor Shell. The band’s sophomore album was recorded at The Ballroom, Hamilton Jr.‘s own studio in North Philly. As you’ll soon hear, this album’s creation was important for the band as it continues to mature, now just about 4 years in existence. I caught up with friend of the show, Tom Hamilton Jr. to talk about the album, his other project JRAD, and

Mihali
We’ve chatted with Mihali a few times over the years, but it’s never been about two projects at once.

So we kept it brief but were able get in a lot during our conversation.

Daniel Donato
I couldn’t make it to Peach Festival this year, but the crew of people who I knew that did, were raving about a young guy who played the guitar like a man possessed and served up a large heaping plate of cosmic country goodness. They of course were referring to the captivating Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country. When you first hear Daniel’s voice, it’s a throw back to the days of country crooners before him, and his playing style is that of a demon, with odes to country, honky tonk, bluegrass and go

Scott Hachey of The Magic Beans
There is something magical brewing in the state of Colorado, and much of it has to do with the emergence of the Magic Beans. We’ve featured their music before, but with the release of their latest record Unzipped, I’d like to suggest that this band has organically determined a fresh way to make music, that unbelievably isn’t that fresh at all. For Unzipped the band shed much of what they’ve done in the past to create music, and instead opted for a very lo-fi, analog approach. The results of thos

After almost 25 years of putting out records and touring, everything came to a halt for the dudes in Umphrey’s McGee in March 2020 with the pandemic crushing tour plans.

They also managed to continue recording songs for a new album, which you’ll get to hear in its entirety next week.

It’s incredibly difficult to describe the awesome music Dopapod makes. Is it rock, funk, progressive rock?

This new album due out a May 27th has been in the works for a while now, probably dating back to when the band came off their self imposed layoff that ended in late April of 2019.

Adam Weinberg
The pandemic was no doubt a tough time for everyone. Being huddled in your home, away from socializing, going out with friends, or even attending shows. A glimmer of hope though for many was the absolutely awesome Phish covers fingerstyle guitarist Adam Weinberg and his daughter performed for us on social media. That's where I first came across Adam, and indeed learned that he was a talented musician in his own right, having put out solo instrumental records, and touring as Matisyahu's accompani

Max Davies of Kitchen Dwellers
I can't think of better ambassadors for the state of Montana, at least musically then the Kitchen Dwellers. Their very old school blend of bluegrass combined with effects and crazy covers has always had me thinking that this was a cool band. Their third album, Wise River is a tribute to a Montana river that runs in the Southwestern region of the state and empties into Big Hole River. While they make Bozeman Montana home, about two hours away from Wise River, it's clear that the Ki

Carey Harmon of Railroad Earth
Entering their third decade now, Railroad Earth have solidified their position in the jam world as a Bluegrass tinged Americana outfit. With their notoriety and hustle, also sadly came change in 2018 with the passing of founding member Andy Goessling. So when they went to make their new record, All for the Song due out April 22nd, they headed to New Orleans and recruited singer songwriter and producer Anders Osborne to help at the dials. I caught up with drummer Carey Harmon to talk about the ma
Jeremy & Greg of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
You gotta dig everything about Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. They are fun, have amazing shows and are supremely talented. Though their music is based in funk, they explore a lot more sonic territory in what seems like an effortless way. Like many of the bands in our community, the pandemic meant the Pigeons were grounded for almost two years. The band though used the time to create more great music and have just released their 6th album, Perspective. So I caught up with frontman Greg Ormont and gui

Spafford
Even during the pandemic Spafford managed to play some dates including one of the first drive-in shows, but aside from a recent fall tour, for the most part things have been relatively quiet for the boys. At least professionally. On the heels of releasing a live compilation of tunes recording on the road in 2020 called Hindsight, Spafford opened their late winter early spring tour in Colorado last week and we were due for update.

Scott Metzger
Scott Metzger is no stranger to making music, but his latest Too Close to Reason out now on Royal Potato Family, is a bit of a departure from past efforts, not only because it’s a solo record, but also too because it’s mostly acoustic, relying heavily on his masterful playing built on practice and inspiration by many of the musicians he appreciates. We’re big fans of Scott’s various gigs in the Jam Band scene, most notably with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, but othe

Adam and Nick from Yonder Mountain String Band
Get Yourself Outside is Yonder Mountain Strinband’s latest release, their first since 2017s “Love. Ain’t Love”. Since that time, there has been a personnel change, a global pandemic, and a coming of age for a band that has been at the bluegrass, jamgrass thing for over two decades. I caught up with Adam Ajala and newest member Nick Piccininni to talk about the new record and more.

Andy and Chris from The Infamous Stringdusters
If there is a silver lining to what has been a very difficult couple of years during the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s likely all the great music that’s been made by some of our favorite musicians and bands. In fact, some bands like the Infamous Stringdusters took that concept to the extreme, with each member contributing a solo project and album. With the release of band’s last album Toward the Fray, out today, we’ve noticed a culmination of all of the work the guys have put i

We caught up with the now 23 year old Kingfish to talk about his fairly active and prolific career just over a decade in the making. Our conversation started when I asked if he ever imagined bein

Jay Lane
Earlier this year, Dead & Company drummer Bill Kreutzmann had to bow out of the band's performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Filling the kit so to speak was noted and accomplished drummer Jay Lane.
So just who is Jay Lane. Well, to start with, the San Francisco native has been drumming since the tender age of nine while attending the Blue Bear School of Music in San Francisco. Since then, he has gone on to great acclaim performing first with several local now defunct bands, but then

Tom Hamilton Jr. and MORE!
Tom Hamilton Jr. recently MORE! Live from the Ballroom a 6 song set that you have to hear. This project isn't a new one for Tom Hamilton Jr. of Ghost Light, Lacuna and Joe Russo's Almost Dead, but instead a rebirth if you will, as he reassembled members of the original Brothers Past line-up to jam in his newly minted studio nicknamed the Ballroom. I sat down with Tom to get the skinny on MORE! and as per usual with Tom, our conversation went everywhere...
