Since they first set out on the road two weeks ago, Gov’t Mule and Larkin Poe’s co-headline tour has served as a stellar representation of both acts’ distinctive spins on the blues-rock tradition and a shared reverence for the form’s early innovators. In their six-show sprint, the bands honored Lead Belly, Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia and The Allman Brothers Band with sit-ins during Mule’s headline sets, and last night’s Nashville, Tenn. finale saw the bands pool their talents in tribute to the late Dave Mason.
The Revivalists headline three sets and are joined by Saint Motel, Dawes, David Shaw, Neal Francis, and more. Plus band-led activities, an intimate Q&A session, and other one-of-a-kind curated experiences.

Neil Young moves with the moon. The musician took to his own website to reflect on his recent bout in the studio while mastering his new untitled record with The Chrome Hearts. According to the post, the album was recorded at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La studio in Malibu, Calif., and features three previously unreleased songs that were originally written in 1963, when the musician was just 17 years old, as well as five new numbers. In addition to the aforementioned set, Young also wrote about his impending live release, As Time Explodes.
Before Hot Tuna. Before the legend was official. On June 28, 1969, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady stepped onto the stage at the Veterans Memorial Building in Santa Rosa: no band name, no album, no identity beyond two Jefferson Airplane giants playing the music they had to play. Bear's Sonic Journals: Before We Were Them captures that night in full. Pristine audio restored from the original tapes by Owsley Stanley, the Grateful Dead's legendary soundman. Now available as a limited edition 2LP on electric orange and blue colored vinyl.

On the eve of the 2026 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the incoming musical celebration charged Goose’s Big Easy shows with an urgent anticipation, and the ascendant jam quartet met the room’s pensive energy with a kinetic two-set recitation of fan favorites from their live catalog, plus a couple of unexpected covers.

Previously, Justin Vernon (also known as Bon Iver) helped spread the word that the Eaux Claires Festival would return for the first time in eight years, on July 24-25, 2026. During the first-wave announcement of artist names and event participants, keen-eyed readers lingered over the festival billing Bon Dylan. Today, Vernon, one of the festival’s co-founders, has confirmed his intent to evoke the songs and spirit of 1994 Dylan during the imminent Wisconsin gathering via an official announcement video that also presents audio from Bon Dylan’s March 2026 rehearsal capture of “Not Dark Yet.”

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up for Todd Phillips. The bedrock bluegrass picker, known for his tenures in grade A groups like the Bluegrass Album Band, David Grisman Quintet, The Tony Rice Unit, and Psychograss, is seeking donations following a Parsonage-Turner syndrome diagnosis, which has taken away his ability to perform and therefore gain income via his preferred craft.
