Todd Snider, the prolific musician, master storyteller and Americana journeyman, passed away in Nashville on Friday, Nov. 14.

He was 59.
RECAP
On Friday, November 14, Billy Strings arrived at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., for the first of two Fall Tour concerts at the indoor arena. Night one glinted with a sense of psychedelia, a demonstrated willingness to push and to produce compositions beyond the ordinary, entice the audience, and keep them on their feet till night two. While the first performance sparked a sense of playfulness, Saturday’s follow-up came from the heart and started with a debut in honor of singer-songwriter Todd Snider, who passed away at age 59.

Sarah Elaz’s journey to becoming one of the Brooklyn, N.Y. jam-scene’s most dynamic new bassists began not on stage but in the crowd. “I was a fan first,” she explains, having seen over 150 Phish shows since 2010. A professional dancer who holds a degree in that art form, Elaz possessed a deep knowledge of rhythm and composition, and when the pandemic hit, she picked up a bass and began to add melody and harmony to her musical tool kit. A fearless performer, she documented her progress on TikTok, quickly gaining a following by way of her viral “BASSCAM” series.
