TREY ANASTASIO BAND ANNOUNCE FIRST FULL BAND SHOWS AFTER A TWO YEAR ABSENCE

Music News- Trey Anastasio Band has announced its first full-band headline performances in nearly two years. The dates include two shows in Florida – Tuesday, May 28 at St. Petersburg, FL’s Jannus Live and Wednesday, May 29 at St. Augustine, FL’s St. Augustine Amphitheatre – as well as two shows at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA, set for Friday, May 31 and Saturday, June 1.  Pre-sales begin Tuesday, February 12 at 12 noon ET and continues through Thursday, February 14 at 5 PM ET exclusively via treytickets.shop.ticketstoday.com .  All remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, February 15 ^th at 11 AM ET (check local listings).

 

The tour will mark Trey Anastasio Band’s first full-band shows since a November 2017 two-night stand at Oakland, CA’s Fox Theater, recently remastered and released as TAB AT THE FOX THEATER.  In January 2018, the band’s last performance was a special appearance at “A Concert For Island Relief,” an all-star event at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall to benefit hurricane relief efforts in the U.S., British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.  A series of TAB dates were scheduled for last year but were retooled as Trey Anastasio Trio shows after keyboardist Ray Paczkowski – a.k.a. “The Milkman” – underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor. Fortunately, Paczkowski made a quick recovery and joined the Trio tour for three summer dates. 

 

In addition to the newly announced dates, Trey Anastasio Band will perform at the upcoming Peach Music Festival , booked for July 25-28 at Scranton, PA’s Montage Mountain.

 

The 2 night stand at the Tabernacle marks TAB’s first shows since 2014 at the venue that shares their nickname. These shows follow six previous performances at the legendary venue, including a 2010 appearance immortalized as 2011’s live record TAB AT THE TAB .

30th Anniv Reissue Of Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band’s “Almost Acoustic” Out For Record Store Day on 11/23

Music News - 2018 marks the 30^th Anniversary of the release of Almost Acoustic, the out of print 1988 live classic from The Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band.  In honor of this milestone Almost Acoustic will receive a special limited-edition reissue for Record Store Day 2018 on November 23^rd. The album will be made available on CD and as a double LP on 180-gram vinyl for the first time. The vinyl package will include two green and black marbled LPs with individually numbered foil-stamped gatefold jackets. Only 5000 copies of this limited-edition run will be available.

Recorded in 1987 at The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles and the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, Almost Acoustic features Garcia (guitar & vocals) performing with some of his closest pre-Dead friends and collaborators from the early 1960’s – Sandy Rothman (mandolin, dobro & vocals) and David Nelson (guitar & vocals). Joining in were Kenny Kosek (fiddle) and long-time Jerry Garcia Band alums John Kahn (upright bass) and David Kemper (snare drum). Songs include influential folk traditionals, such as “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”, “Blue Yodel #9” and “Diamond Joe”. The album also highlights songs that were consistently woven in and out of Garcia’s career as both a solo artist and with the Grateful Dead, including “Deep Elem Blues”, “Oh, The Wind And Rain” and the Garcia/Hunter classic, “Ripple”.

Much of 2017 and 2018 saw the year-long celebration of Jerry Garcia’s 75^th birthday, which culminated with the release of the historic and critically acclaimed boxed set Before The Dead.  The 4-CD/limited-edition 5-LP collection shed a new light on the earliest period in Garcia’s journey starting as a young, raw and developing multi-instrumentalist coming of age during the early 1960’s folk-revival, to becoming one of the most revered and groundbreaking artists of the rock ‘n roll era. By the time The Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band formed, Garcia had become a master of his instrument. Recorded and released during the apex of the Grateful Dead’s popularity, Almost Acoustic features the artist coming full circle by going back to his acoustic roots where it all began.

JIM JAMES UNVEILS UNIFORM CLARITY; SHARES TWO NEW SONGS

Music News- Jim James has announced the release of  UNIFORM CLARITY, a new companion piece to his acclaimed 2018 album,  UNIFORM DISTORTION . The new LP - which comprises acoustic renditions of the songs originally found on  UNIFORM DISTORTION  along with two new tracks- arrives  Friday, October 5  via ATO. Pre-orders are available here .

 

"The idea for UNIFORM CLARITY came from UNIFORM DISTORTION," says James, "an album of intentional chaos/dirt: literal and figurative distortion of lyrics and sound meant to echo and hopefully shed some light on the twisted times and distortion of the truth in which we now live. UNIFORM CLARITY is meant to illuminate the other side - raw and real, but very clear, much like in the early days of recording where all you could hear was the truth because there were no ways to manipulate recordings in the studio. Working with Shawn

Everett, we created a document style recording of these songs- just vocals, guitar and the space itself- no special FX. A crystal clear illustration of the flawed beauty of what a song starts off as or sometimes remains- a thought. a seed. a light from the womb of the universe brought to life down here on earth."

 

LISTEN TO "You Get To Rome" and "Over And Over" below-

 

 

UNIFORM CLARITY was recorded with GRAMMY Award-winning producer/engineer Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, The War On Drugs). Today, there will be an exclusive YouTube event that sees James appearing throughout the day for special performances, discussions about the upcoming release and his extraordinary body of work, as well as his belief in importance of voting and political action as we set out to change the future this Election Day. The broadcast will culminate with a very special live performance and Q+A session, set to be streamed live from San Francisco at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET.

NYS & County Officials Force Phish To Cancel Curveball Fest Over Safety Issues

Music News- Phish's Curveball festival, which was booked to start up tomorrow, has been cancelled. The festival was to run at Watkins Glen International racetrack in Watkins Glen, NY.  Severe flooding occurred in the area over this past week resulting in the New York State Department Of Health officials to declare the water supply in the Village of Watkins Glen; which includes the festival site, unsafe for human consumption.

Phish issued a statement expressing disappointment over the situation and fans who had arrived to stay overnight. Campgrounds will close at noon tomorrow. Read the following from the band-

Dear friends, our Phish family..

The four of us are writing this from directly behind the stage at Watkins Glen. We were about to walk onstage only moments ago for our traditional soundcheck jam for Curveball when we were told the heartbreaking news that due to the unsafe water conditions in the Village of Watkins Glen, our beloved festival is being canceled.

We are still in shock. The entire site is already set up and ready to go after literally months of work by our beloved hardworking crew, many of whom have been here for weeks. Our families are here, our gear is set, our tents are up. We keep waiting for someone to come over and tell us that there is a solution, and that the festival can go on. Unfortunately, it is not possible.

We are so terribly sorry for the inconvenience that this is causing so many of you. We hope from the bottoms of our hearts that at the very least this news will reach you before too much disruption takes place in your personal lives. We know that people traveled far, at great expense. We understand that people are missing work, and changing their schedules around.. we wish so much that there was some way that this wasn’t happening.

This summer has been absolutely joyous, with each gig building on the previous one, and we were all buzzing with excitement about Curveball. Please accept our deepest apologies for the disruption that this has caused all of you.. We wish there was something else we could say.

Thank you all from the depths of our souls for the joy that you continue to share with us every night. This has been the greatest summer we can remember.

Travel safe and know that we are as heartbroken as all of you. We are standing back here behind the stage, at our party that we’ve been planning for over a year, and we have just told that it won’t happen. There’s just nothing we can do.

Thank you all for your understanding.

With Love,
Phish

The  New York State Department Of Health & Schuyler County released the following statement-

With a 14 county State of Emergency still in effect, the prospect of additional inclement weather, and a mandatory boil water order for the Village of Watkins Glen issued today, Schuyler County and the New York State Department of Health are unable to issue the required permits for this weekend’s Curveball Festival.

This week’s severe storm created untenable conditions, including the inability to deliver clean drinking water to patrons and vendors as confirmed by test results delivered today.

Working collaboratively with Watkins Glen International and Phish, the County and the State explored all options to allow the event to continue as scheduled.

While all parties acknowledge the inconvenience of this cancellation to patrons, we have a responsibility to act in the best interest of public health and safety for all.

Phish and Curveball Festival organizers will be notifying ticketholders about how to obtain a refund.

Watkins Glen International President Michael Printup said, “Public health and safety is a concern for all events at Watkins Glen International. While we are disappointed Curveball has been cancelled, we understand and support the county and Department of Health’s decision.”

Senator Tom O’Mara said, “I appreciate the hard work and perseverance of state and local health officials, concert promoters, and everyone at The Glen to try to find a way to give the go-ahead for Phish this weekend. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not cooperate and threw a curveball of her own over the past several days. It’s disappointing for the band, the fans, and the community at large — and I was looking forward to attending myself — but it’s really the only decision that could be made for the overall sake of the public’s health and safety.”

Assemblyman Philip Palmesano said, “I share the disappointment of fans, Watkins Glen International, and the local community. But we appreciate the diligent efforts of state and local health officials, concert promoters, and Glen officials to try to find any way possible to give a green light to this weekend’s festival. Unfortunately, the cancellation is the only decision that can be made to appropriately and responsibly protect the public’s health and safety.”

Arrangements for refunds has not yet been announced .

Keller Williams Announces First Instrumental Album "SANS", Out October 19th

Music News- With a prolific career of 22 studio albums, Keller Williams has announced his first ever entirely instrumental release SANS, out on October 19. The new album offers a fresh take on his previous work, with a collection of eight reimagined tracks plus one new song. Williams will hit the road this fall with a slew of new tour dates, including a special album release show at Brooklyn Bowl in New York City. The tour will also include solo shows as well as performances with PettyGrass, Keller & the Keels, More Than a Little and Keller Williams’ Duo with Danton Boller. See a full list of dates below.

SANS (as in without) finds Keller Williams breathing new life into some of his favorite songs that were once presented as solo acoustic guitar pieces. These invigorated renditions have been enhanced with bold acoustic bass and live and sampled drums, woven through futuristic soundscapes to create what Williams has dubbed “acoustic dance music.” See the full SANS track listing below.

Through a career spanning more than two decades and more than a dozen projects, including his most recent Tom Petty-inspired tribute PettyGrass, Keller Williams has established himself as an unmatched artistic force with a penchant for collaboration and innovation. His unpredictable live shows and ability to seamlessly transition between genres has garnered a loyal and large cult following. The press has also taken notice, with recent positive coverage from Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Paste Magazine, Relix, Acoustic Guitar and more. The follow up to his two simultaneous releases SYNC and RAW, the new instrumental album SANS is proof that even after all this time Keller Williams still has many creative roads left to explore.

Fans who pre-order SANS between now and September 24 will be eligible for the “In the Gutter with Keller at The Brooklyn Bowl” contest, where one winner will receive an all-expenses paid trip to New York City to attend Keller Williams’ album release party at The Brooklyn Bowl on October 19. Click Here for add'l details.
