Trey Anastasio’s acoustic tour rolled into Grand Rapids, MI’s Frederik Meijer Gardens Amphitheater last night, and it turned out to be the place to be this Wednesday night. As he has throughout his current “evening with” shows, Anastasio offered an extended single set, with his close collaborator Jeff Tanski adding piano accompaniment at various points during the night. The concert kicked off with Phish classics “Taste,” “Waste” and “Stash” and, a bit later, Anastasio honored a request and performed “Esther,” the Junta story-song he revived in an acoustic format earlier this run.

Along the way, a cross-generational mix of acts, including Amanda Shires, Richard Thompson and Elles Bailey will join Collins on select dates.

moe. and Umphrey’s McGee’s joint moe.ment.UM run progressed last night to Baltimore, MD’s Nevermore Hall. Umphrey’s McGee played the closing set and, as they have throughout the collaborative tour, the members of the two bands took the stage together for a special encore. This time the festivities kicked off with moe. bassist Rob Derhak replacing Umphrey’s McGee bassist Ryan Stasik, moe. drummer Vinnie Amico subbing in for Umphrey’s McGee drummer Scotty Zwang and the rest of moe.–guitarists Chuck Garvey and Al Schnier, percussionist Jim Loughlin and keyboardist Nate Wilson–emerging for the moe. classic “Nebraska.” The song choice was particularly notable: Umphrey’s McGee covered the Tin Cans and Car Tires track, as well as some other moe. tunes, a few times in their early days, but they had not played the number since November 20, 1998.

It’s a few hours before Duane Betts and Palmetto Motel will take the stage at the Odeum, a main street movie house turned vibrant music venue in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. The appearance will be the penultimate on a short run of April dates that leak into May, concentrated in the Northeast corridor. It’s an exciting time for Betts—in just over a month he will release his second LP, Isle of Hope. Yet, backstage at the Odeum, at this moment, Betts is struggling.

When it comes to legendary New York City venues, Cablevision president and CEO Jim Dolan oversees three of them: Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and the Beacon Theatre. And, somehow, between operating the venues and the cable company, owning the New York Knicks and Rangers and sitting on the board of Live Nation Entertainment, Dolan finds time to pursue his deep love of music. With two albums and the recent Midnight Run EP under their belt, JD & The Straight Shot is more than a businessman’s vanity project – it’s legitimate band that continues to evolve.
