George Porter Jr., Russell Batiste Jr., and Brian Stoltz, are bringing New Orleans jazz/funk to the masses all across the U.S. This excellent SBD matrix of the band tearing it up at Gathering Of the Vibes is a must have for your collection.

Their single “I Get High” is currently one of the most played songson SiriusXM JamOn 17. It is on their newly released album titled Moodoo which features Phish keyboardist Paige McConnell.

“We all come from old school New Orleans,” says Stoltz. “I grew up listening to the Beatles and Hendrix, but we still have that deep New Orleans background.”

This is evident in many of their tracks where the band lays down some sick guitar riffs. The trio is currently touring in the south east US.

Mountain Jam 2008 was another amazing weekend for the jam scene with mind blowing performances by the country’s best bands.

I wasn’t able to make it this year but we still enjoyed the festival from home. We had a party in the back yard with a fire going and and thanks to iclips.net we had sweet sounds of Umphrey’s and Gov’t Mule blasting through my stereo. For pics from the weekend check out the excellent photos from Dino Perrucci.

Here’s a few shows that have started appearing online. Be sure to check back for updates. Read the rest of this entry »

Grassroots in Trumansburgh, NY is one of my favorite festivals of the year. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the lineup announcement since purchasing our 4 day festival and camping passes a couple of months ago.

The festival will be headlined by Donna The Buffalo, Lucinda Williams, & Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Other performers include reggae pioneers John Brown’s Body who perform to massive crowds in their home town. I’m also looking forward to see The Hackensaw Boys, Giant Panda Guerrilla Dub Squad, and up and coming newgrass greats Big Leg Emma who I’ve been following for years at the Great Blue Heron festival.

What a joke. First Green Apple Festival announces lineups in 8 cities. In Washington DC they never posted anything that resembled a schedule for the supposed festival from noon until midnight on 4/20. Upon checking a few bands websites the day before the show I discovered that Gov’t Mule and Umphrey’s McGee were to play 20 minute sets!

We arrive at the National Mall at 12:30 to gray skies but an other wise pleasant afternoon. The organizers were expecting a big crowd with huge screens and additional concert speakers through out the mall. O.A.R. came on as soon as we arrived. They quickly played a couple of their usual songs and made way for speakers who rambled on for quite a while. Read the rest of this entry »

This year’s event will be held on May 23rd, 24th and 25th at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois, just 20 miles north of Peoria.

Widespread Panic announced that they will act as the finale to this year’s Bonnaroo Festival, headlining a performance on Sunday evening, June 15th. I’m glad to see Widespread Panic being added to this festival. With the previous announcements of Metallica & Perl Jam Bonnaroo has completely lost it’s title as “best jam band festival.” Its good to see that Clear Channel hasn’t completely alienated the core fans that created this festival. The band had this to say in its newsletter today. Read the rest of this entry »
