Lake Street Dive Cover Tom Petty, ‘Curious George’ Classic with Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson is currently in the midst of an extended summer tour timed with the release of the new documentary on his journey from surfer to musician, SURFILMUSIC. Hermanos Gutiérrez opened the first leg of the run and Lake Street Dive swapped in at West Palm Beach, FL’s iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre on Tuesday, August 18. The Boston-bred indie-folk group got right into the collaborative spirit on their first date with Johnson, sitting in on a cover of Tom Petty’s Wildflowers classic “You Don't Know How It Feels.” Then, the next day at Tampa, FL’s MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre, the members of Lake Street Dive returned for the same song and then remained for “Upside Down,” Johnson’s family classic from the soundtrack Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George. Though Johnson, who noted that he was excited to jam with Lake Street Dive as they came on stage for the first time this week, has been covering the Petty tune since 2017, he had not performed the cut since the 2023 Oceans Calling festival before Tuesday. Slightly Stoopid helped him out on that rendition of the number. Lake Street Dive have celebrated Petty on the road with Johnson in the past as well.
Lake Street Dive will open for Johnson once again at Alpharetta, GA’s Ameris Bank Amphitheatre this evening.

Matisyahu has long occupied a unique place in the live-music world. Though raised in a Reconstructionist Jewish home right outside New York City—where he frequently attended jamband concerts in the late ’90s—the 47-year-old-musician first stepped into the national spotlight as a Hassidic reggae singer and rapper in the mid-2000s, a few years after he started attending an Orthodox Jewish synagogue on the Upper West Side. In the span of a few short years, he churned out radio hits like “King Without a Crown” and “One Day,” the latter of which has gradually aged into a religious-school standard around the world. At the same time, the singer, who was born Matthew Miller, has long leaned into his love of improvisational music while on stage, collaborating with prominent voices from the jamband world and frequently drawing from the post-Phish playbook.
Throughout his career arc, and as is spiritual identity has evolved, Matis has also continued to utilize modern hip-hop and pop techniques in the studio, releasing his most recent LP, Ancient Child, this past fall. Like his best music, the record weaves his seemingly divergent interests in reggae, traditional biblical texts and Kabbalah-rooted mysticism into a wholly unique, utterly personal sound. Matis has remained active the concert realm as well and, in addition to his popular Live at Stubb’s records—which have documented his ever-morphing ensemble at different points during his career—he’s issued official bootleg-style recordings and energetic, conceptual live albums, including this year’s Ancient Child Live and Live in Colorado sets.
However, his most recent pivot is perhaps most impactful yet. Inspired by Trey Anastasio’s sobriety journey and an epiphany he had while seeing Phish in Mexico last year, Matisyahu, who attended rehab programs when he was a teenager, has recently given up drinking and vaping, recommitting himself to providing a dynamic live show worthy of the jamband community he holds in the highest regard. He’s also started studying Torah more regularly in recent years, digging into the connections he sees between his personal faith and the post-Grtaeful Dead world. He’s also continuously motivated by his six children, two of which, Laivy and Shalom, are now professional musicians who have gained tradition in the post-COVID era thanks to TikTok.

You’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve stumbled upon the latest pseudonym of Strugill Simpson after putting on Bob Wagner’s solo debut I’ve Been Down. You wouldn’t be totally off base either. The journeyman Vermont guitarist cites Johnny Blue Skies as an influence and managed to get Simpson’s right-hand shredder Laur Joamets to add lead to three tracks, including album-opener “Sad and Lonesome,” the most Simpson-coded of the 10-song set.
But Wagner’s rootsy, Northeast rock has range beyond countrified twang. Wagner revives the murder ballad with “Richest Man on Earth,” in which he imagines killing an unnamed, attention-seeking billionaire by ignoring him: “Didn’t shoot him, didn’t stab him/ Not even a black eye,” he sings. “I just stopped paying him attention/ Cause I’m too broke to spend my mind.” A surprisingly faithful cover of Elton John’s “Daniel” showcases Wagner’s softer side and vocal range, as does the mostly acoustic “Dear Depression.” Wagner, who is also currently part of Mike Gordon’s solo band, embraces his jam bonafides on the groovy countrified funk of “Universe Is Calling,” the Wilco-nodding rocker “Jesus, Coffee Etc.,” and the slow-burning “Duende,” which climaxes with a series of fiery guitar jams.
Wagner has spent his career playing other people’s songs, often touring with Josh Panda and Kat Wright. His debut was such a long time coming that he unearthed one song that he first wrote two decades ago, the dark yet uplifting title track. There’s a raw energy to “I’ve Been Down,” a rock-bottom ballad that was recorded live in one take with the Wood Brothers’ Oliver Wood and Jano Rix on vocals and keys. “I’ve been down so long,” he sings. ”I have to look up to find the ground.” These days, things are looking up for the right reasons.

The Fraternal Order of the Society Blues, Armo Join Musical Rosh Hashanah Celebration
Afrobeat group Armo and The Fraternal Order of the Society Blues are the first special guests confirmed for the Rosh Hashanah service and concert at New York's Nublu Classic on Friday, September 11 at 7:30pm. As previously reported, the musically driven High Holiday gathering, a 15-year tradition for the venue’s community, is part of a suite of offerings that also includes a service and musical celebration of the holiday at New York's Brooklyn Bowl on Saturday, September 12 at 10am. Both the Nublu and Brooklyn Bowl events will feature a full, traditionally rooted Rosh Hashanah service, plain-sense explanations of the religious aspects of the holiday, prayer, shofar blowing, meditation and live music drawn from throughout the Jewish diaspora.
Rabbi Daniel Brenner will once again lead both services. The musical direction will be helmed by Jeremiah Lockwood, who will lead a core band consisting of vocalist/bassist Yula Beeri, drummer John Bollinger, saxophonist and clarinet player Stuart Bogie (Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Arcade Fire and Antibalas), trumpeter Jordan McLean (Antibalas), guitarist Timothy James (Antibalas), percussionist Isaac Gaedner and organist Yusuke Yamamoto. Additional special guests from both the local musical community and the Jewish music scene will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur details will also be announced later this month.
The Fraternal Order of the Society Blues, which features Lockwood, harmonica player Ernesto “Lover Cat” Gomez and Wynton Marsalis drummer Ricky Gordon, worked with blues icon Carolina Slim before his passing.

Billy Strings Shares New Song: “10,000 Miles From a Friend”
Billy Strings has shared a new song “10,000 Miles From a Friend,” the latest offering from his forthcoming studio album, So Much for Goodbyes. The 16-track LP, which is slated for release on Friday, August 28 via Reprise Records, was produced by Strings and T Bone Burnett and finds the guitarist channeling a “deeply personal period into his most musically mature and reflective body of work to date.” The record is accompanied by original artwork created by Strings’ late mother, Debra Apostol, who passed away last year. In addition to the track, Strings has shared a video for the song, which can be found below.
“I made this record to honor my mother,” Strings said in a statement. “To notice and embrace this very significant period of grief in my life and make art from it. To turn my heartbreak into songs while using my guitar as a coping mechanism as I always have. It’s always been there for me to lean on through the hard times, and I figure it always will…until it’s my time to say goodbye.”
“10,000 Miles From A Friend” has already been in Strings’ concert rotation for a bit—he first debuted it at Chula Vista, CA’s North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre on May 15, 2025, during a spot on the Outlaw Music Festival tour and has already played it live around 20 times.

Duane Betts Sits in Little Feat in Wyoming
Duane Betts sat in with Little Feat on Monday night at Jackson, WY’s Center for the Arts. The guitarist, who lives in the area, ended up appearing on two numbers his father Dickey Betts contributed to the Allman Brothers Band catalog, “Blue Sky” and “Southbound,” as well as the Little Feat classic “Feats Don’t Fail Me Now.”
“What a nice surprise to come off tour and find out the great Little Feat is playing,” Duane posted after the show. “Always a pleasure, gentlemen. Thanks for having me.”
The Allman Brothers Band and Little Feat are two of the architects of the modern jamband scene, and current Little Feat guitarist Scott Sharrard spent years performing with Gregg Allman before his 2017 passing. Little Feat also recently welcomed another second-generation jamband musician, Grahame Lesh, to the stage while performing in Oakland, CA.
