Disco Biscuits Add Atlantic City Shows, Nod to Dolly in Asheville
Disco Biscuits have added a pair of late-night shows to their fall tour. The Philadelphia-bred act will appear at Atlantic City, NJ’s The Tropicana Showroom on Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3. The gigs will kick off after Phish play nearby at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall. The Disco Biscuits have a rich history of Atlantic City performances, dating back to 1997. Of note, they played a famed show at the Grand Caymon Ballroom on October 25, 2002, where they chose their song selections based on fans spilling roulette wheels on the side of the stage. They also held a two-night “drum off” competition in 2005 where they selected Allen Aucoin as their new drummer.
The quartet are currently in the middle of a Southern swing. Last night at Asheville, NC’s Third Room, they offered a cover of Raf Rundell’s “More You Know” for the first time as the Disco Biscuits, after performing the track in their electronic Tractorbeam configuration on July 6. They also sampled Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” a tribute to the late singer during “Morph Dusseldorf.” Likewise, a night earlier at Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse, they, appropriately, sampled a bit of Ray Charles’ “Georgia on My Mind” during “M.E.M.P.H.I.S.”
Disco Biscuits will return to the Third Room tonight.

Grace Potter to Make Grand Ole Opry Debut, Honors Dolly Parton with Zac Brown Band
Grace Potter will make her Grand Ole Opry debut on Tuesday, September 15. Potter will perform songs from her new album, Trespasser, which was released on August 21 via Thirty Tigers. Potter is one of several musicians who will play the Opry for the first time in the coming weeks, including Nicole Atkins (9/12), Little Feat (9/8) and Stella Lefty (9/2).
Potter spent the past few days on the road as an opening act for Zac Brown Band. On Thursday at Queens, NY’s Forest Hills Stadium, Potter emerged during the group’s set for a cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released,” which was played as a tribute to Dolly Parton. Brown also honored Parton by performing “Butterly,” a song they recorded together and released last year on the Love & Fear album. (Zac Brown Band dusted off the latter number for the first time this summer after learning about Parton’s passing.)
Then, Friday night at Philadelphia’s TD Pavilion at Highmark Mann Center for the Performing Arts, Potter emerged once again during Zac Brown Band’s opening set for her own “The Lion The Beast The Beat,” a tune she released with the Nocturnals in 2012, marking the first time the country-crossover band has played the number during their show. In addition, Philadelphia-bred musician Amos Lee, who has supported Zac Brown Band on the road before, made a surprise appearance on his own “Supply and Demand,” “I Shall Be Released” and Paul Overstreet’s “Forever and Ever, Amen.”

John Mayer Talks Future of Dead & Company
On Thursday, John Mayer played an intimate show Amagansett, NY’s Stephen Talkhouse. The gig, a celebrity-filled SiriusXM event, was the guitarist’s first full US date of the year and featured the ace band of drummer Aaron Sterling, percussionist Lenny Castro, bassist Sean Hurley, guitarists Isaiah Sharkey and David Ryan Harris, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, and vocalists Tiffany Palmer and Carlos Ricketts. Ahead of Mayer’s performance, he spoke with SiriusXM host and Bravo personality Andy Cohen on a range of topics, including the future of Dead & Company. Mayer explained, “I was talking to USA Today about Grateful Dead listening party on Channel 4/Life With John Mayer and that I was really enjoying just being a listener of the music and I said to some extent I’ve gone back to my corner, and I think I just—part of the grieving process is to hang it up. If you don’t hang it up, then you don’t grieve fully, so I’m in the process right now and I think people—or at least I hope they can decode this. I’m not thinking beyond just the healing and the grieving, as so many other people are doing along with me, that it doesn’t feel right to think about it, but in no way is that my—I’m not swearing it off. I’m not saying like, ‘You’ll never see me on stage doing that.’ I don’t know how you will yet, and I don’t really want to start thinking about actionable ways to do it. I kind of want to wallow a little. I kind of—I think it’s important sometimes to say, ‘Well, that’s that,’ so that you can feel it and go through that and mourn that, so I hope people understand that, and if they don’t, then maybe I’ve sort of helped. I don’t have any specific plan.”
Cohen then replied, “It sounds to me like what you’re saying is you need time to finish grieving and then you’ll think about it,” to which Mayer responded, “I’ll think about it. Let me just hang up the jersey for a minute.”
Cohen and Mayer, who are good friends, also discussed the singer/guitarist mixing a new single in the host’s bedroom. Mayer replied, “I am mixing the first single in Andy’s bedroom. Andy’s taken a different room. Again, we always get ourselves into a little bit of mayhem when we explain things but don’t explain them fully. Andy has given me his bedroom, and he has taken a different bedroom. Now, in order to mix this single and have it out in time, I had to rent studio monitors that are now set up on stands in his bedroom and I woke up this morning, and I mixed the single from bed with these monitors in front of me. All that’s left now is to find these moments and songs that really delight me to make them and that means the songs are going to be different because I’ve made so many songs that at one point I went, Yeah, that’s who I want to be,” and then I did those, and I sang those, and I have those, and so I’ve sort of come all the way back around to a very simple, direct thing, so when you hear me sing on this record, you go like, ‘Oh, he’s right in front of me,’ so there’s no tricks with like, ‘Oh, I’m sort of like my vocal is coming right up the middle,’ and all I can do is say like I liked it enough to finish it. I like it enough to put it out and I think it’s cool. It’s cool, and I like it a lot. When I was younger, I had a lot longer phrases for things and it’s cool, and I like it a lot.”

Tedeschi Trucks Band Honor Dolly Parton, James Taylor
Tedeschi Trucks Band paid tribute to a pair of famed singer-songwriters over the weekend. While headlining Vienna, VA’s Filene Center at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts on Friday, TTB debuted their take on Dolly Parton’s “Wildflowers,” a song the singer recorded for her 1987 album Trio with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. Though Parton passed away on Tuesday, Tedeschi Trucks Band’s show on Wednesday was on a bill before Alabama Shakes and Friday’s performance was their first full closing set since her death. The ensemble also brought out their opening act Lukas Nelson and his band during their encore for a pair of numbers they collaborated on earlier this summer, Crosby, Stills Nash & Young’s “Helpless” and Matthew Moore’s “Space Captain,” a highlight of Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen project.
Tedeschi Trucks Band returned to the venue the next night and, after noticing that James Taylor was set to take the same stage the following night, offered up his “Fire & Rain,” a tune they have played most years since 2014. They also nodded to CSNY a second time with “Ohio,” which they debuted at New York’s Beacon Theatre earlier this year and have played regularly ever since, and offered a second take on “Wildflowers” during their encore.
The large-scale band and Nelson will perform at Bethel, NY’s Bethel Woods Center for the Performing Arts tonight. The venue is located on the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival.

The first-ever Ionia Freak Fair took place on Friday and Saturday at the Ionia Fairgrounds in Ionia, MI. The epic weekend curated by Billy Strings who grew up in the area. In addition to Strings and his band, the roster of performers included Greensky Bluegrass, Sierra Hull, Leftover Salmon, Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper, Lindsay Lou and Full Cord.
The Freak Fair featured multiple sit-ins across the board. Here’s a look at some of the highlights from Strings’ headlining performances each evening. Friday’s guests included: Leftover Salmon and Lindsay Lou over two sets, which included a tribute to Dolly Parton on “The Last Thing on My Mind.” On Saturday, Sierra Hull, Michael Cleveland, Terry Barber and Greensky Bluegrass all appeared during a performance that culminated with a 30 minute sequence that began with a first-ever take on Greensky original “Don’t Lie” which segued into Strings’ “Meet Me at the Creek,” then back into “Don’t Lie.”
We’ve collected a variety of clips below and shared a taste of Strings’ appearance with Cryptopsy, all of which appear above the setlists.

Dave Matthews Band performed two shows at Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre over the weekend. The group has played 14 gigs at the Greenwood Village, CO venue. DMB’s Friday and Saturday gigs were 11 years to the day from their Fiddler’s Green debut on August 28 and 29, 2015.
Both of these gigs featured songs that the group had not performed since 2022. On Friday night, deep into the band’s set, DMB revisited “Time Bomb.” This tune, which appears on 2009’s Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King has been a rarity since 2012. The group played it once the next year, then five times in 2018 and twice in 2022. The Friday version marked 243 shows since it last appeared in a DMB setlist.
Then on Saturday night, in the same portion of the evening, the septet played “Eh Hee.” This Matthews original was a staple between 2007-2013, then, as with “Time Bomb,” the group dropped it until 2022. Last night’s performance was the first in 207 gigs.

Watch: Bruce Springsteen Joins Bleachers in Asbury Park
Last night, Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance with Bleachers at Asbury Park, NJ’s Summer Stage at The Stone Pony. The New Jersey hero, who has been closely associated with The Stone Pony throughout his storied career, came on stage during Bleachers’ set to help on a cover of Tom Waits’ famed “Jersey Girl,” which he began covering 1981 and most recently played in Asbury Park in 2024 during the Sea.Hear.Now Festival. The Boss then remained on stage as Jack Antonoff and his band moved into “Chinatown,” a track of 2020’s Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night that he contributed to. Springsteen has performed the latter song with Bleachers a few times over the years, including a 2020 set on the roof of New York’s Electric Lady Studios that was recorded during COVID and a high-profile 2022 show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.
The cameo took place during Antonoff’s Shadow of the City Festival, which was postponed from Memorial Day to yesterday due to inclement weather. (Bleachers did, however, play a free inside The Stone Pony that night as a make good.) In addition to Bleachers, Shadow of the City’s confirmed lineup also featured fellow New Jersey indie-rock act Real Estate, as well as Toadies, Grade Ives and Bike Routes. Annie DiRusso, who played with Trey Anastasio at Antonoff’s Ally Coalition benefit in December and took part in Hank Heaven’s recent boxing-ring show that featured the Phish guitarist, was originally on the bill but unable to make the new date.
In addition, Chris Conley, the frontman of the New Jersey emo act Saves the Day, joined Bleachers during their show yesterday for “Tiny Moves,” while Antonoff’s former Steel Train bandmate Evan Winiker emerged to play guitar on “upstairs at els.” Winiker recently sat in on the song at Columbia, MD’s Merriweather Post Pavilion and New York’s Madison Square Garden as well. Bleachers will kick off a run of intimate shows at West Hollywood, CA’s Troubadour on September 10.
