New Music Friday Sept 11: John Legend, Ricky Martin, Kings of Leon, Jhené Aiko, Tinashe, LE SSERAFIM and More
Check out some of ET's favorite new music of the week!
Dave Matthews, Trey Anastasio and Chris Stapleton performed at the 51st annual New York Honors Gala at New York’s Cipriani 42nd Street last night. The evening benefited The T.J. Martell Foundation, a leading music industry foundation that provides funds for innovative cancer research, and ended up raising more than $3.2 million.
Matthews presented his longtime manager and close friend, Red Light Management founder Coran Capshaw, with the Lifetime Music Industry Award and spoke at length about their collaborative history during a highly improvised speech. Of note, he discussed Capshaw’s charitable initiatives in his hometown of Charlottsville, VA, particularly his efforts to put together A Concert for Charlottesville: An Evening of Music and Unity in 2017 after The Unite the Right rally caused a riot in the otherwise peaceful college down. While accepting the award, Capshaw touched on his clients’ own charitable initiatives and how he ultimately accepted the foundation’s award after 3 Doors Down singer Brad Arnold, a Red Light client, passed away earlier this year due to cancer. He also nodded to agent Chip Hooper, who helped look over Phish and Dave Matthews Band during their rise through the ranks but, ultimately, lost his battle to cancer.
“We all get hit by cancer—whether it's an artist we work with, ourselves, friends and family,” Capshaw said. “It makes me think of our friend Chip Hooper. It's been over 10 years now. He left us early, and it's a loss I feel to this minute. He was close to many of us in this room. It’s nice to see such a cross section of the industry here: promoters, agents, labels, publishers, attorneys, and artists we work with,” said Capshaw. “I think what really unites this room, both the musicians and the business side alike, is our industry’s inclination to do good and to give back. Without fail, we really are the go-to industry for fundraising and responding in times of need-whether it be a flood, a hurricane, fire relief, or helping our communities - musicians and the teams behind them, really step up. As we’re hearing tonight, this is the 51st year of this event. Not quite the same ring as the 50th, 60th… 25th… who wants to be 51st? And actually, we’re here together for the first year of the next 50 years of this organization. We hope some real breakthroughs will happen in this next chapter.”

Kevin Morby: New Single, Timeless “PBJ” Recipes
A few months after issuing his eighth studio album, Little Wide Open, via Dead Oceans. Kevin Morby has released a new single, “PBJ.” The track was recorded by Morby and producer/National guitarist Aaron Dessner during the Little Wide Open sessions and finds The Slip/Barr Brothers’ Andrew Barr on drums, Dessner on bass and guitar, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon on guitar, and Morby handling the rest of the guitar and vocals.
“Once, long ago, a friend described the act of driving with the windows down while still blasting the air conditioning as ‘Peanut Butter Jelly.’ She told me this phrase was common where she came from but no one I’ve ever talked to has said the same nor can I find anything about it online,” Morby said in a statement. “But I always loved the phrase and have used it ever since. I also love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (and all its variations) and so this is a very fun song for me. An end of summer song. Listen to it with the windows down… and the air conditioning up.”
To promote the single, Morby will partner with a mix of eateries around the country to offer special PBJ-rooted items.

Matisyahu Confirms Festival of Light Hannukah Dates
Matisyahu has confirmed his annual Festival of Light Hannukah celebration. Though the Festival of Light has been one of Matisyahu’s signature offerings since his early days as a performer, he has focused on select markets in recent years. This year, he will expand the outing exponentially.
The run of shows will kick off in Kansas City, MO on December 1 and come to a close in Miami Beach, FL on December 19.

Find the good point, unlock the potential, and become whole with the full band (5) as we blaze the lights of the purest oil, sealed by the High Priest and dance in the vineyards towards our destiny. Fan the flame in the Name of Judah, from the line of King David.”

Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds recently kicked off their Mutiny For The Masses tour. The shows have typically offered upwards of 26 songs, reaching nearly three hours in duration. The quintet has been drawing heavily from their latest album, Mutiny After Midnight as well as 2024’s Passage du Desir. In addition the group has sprinkled in additional Sturgill Simpson material, as well as select covers, included INXS’ “Never Tear Us Apart” which they performed for the first time on Saturday.
nugs is offering audio from all of the group's shows. In addition, nugs will livestream four gigs over the course of the tour. The first of these is tonight at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA, followed by September 23 at the Ball Arena in Denver, CO, October 2 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN and October 30 at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY.
Meanwhile, the group has just released an official video for “Don’t Let Go” from the latest album. In a recent Relix interview with all five members of the band, Simpson tracked the origin of the record, stating, “We were on a European tour early last year on those double-decker kind of tight claustrophobic buses. We were on the bus with the crew, whereas in the States we're on our own bus. So at night we’d have these TV listening parties, and we just started watching all these old Live at Montreux videos. At some point we were like, ‘Let's just do that. It looks pretty fun.’ So when we went into the studio it had nothing to do with the music we’d just played on tour. It was us trying to capture songs based around serving these grooves as opposed to big, expansive instrumental features.”
