Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Steve Vai Will Be Joined by Terry Bozzio To Perform the Music of King Crimson On Final North American BEAT Tour

What is billed as the last North American BEAT Tour will kick off on October 9 in Santa Cruz. This series of shows will pull together the all-star cast of guitarists Adrian Belew and Steve Vai, bassist Tony Levin, along with drummer Terry Bozzio to present the music of King Crimson. Levin was a longtime member of King Crimson and Belew appeared with various incarnations of the group.

Danny Carey had been playing drums with the collective but is unable to do so this fall, due to commitments with Tool.

Belew notes, “For those of you who’ve seen BEAT live, it’s important to note we’ll be adding some material from ’90s Crim to our Fall tour. Along with the addition of superman drummer Terry Bozzio, we feel this will result in a new experience for our audience — and this may be your last chance to hear this band play these songs. We’re very excited to play for you again. Don’t miss it!”

Finding Inspiration Anew at The Muse in Nantucket 

“When people ask, ‘How does this make sense?’ I tell them, ‘It doesn't. It doesn't make sense at all.’ But the thing is, I wasn't going to allow that to prevent me from doing it,” says Hayden Arnot, the producer and driving force behind the concert series drawing national touring acts to The Muse, a 375 capacity self-described “dive bar” on the island of Nantucket. This summer alone, the venue has welcomed artists such as Mt. Joy, Dispatch, The Head and The Heart, The Fray, Sugar Ray, Natasha Bedingfield, Oteil & Friends, Marcus King Band, Everclear, Jimmy Eat World and many others.

Arnot’s efforts hearken back to an earlier time. During the 1990s, The Muse established itself as part of the national touring circuit, particularly for artists in the jam and Americana realms. Through the dogged determination of owner Mike O’Reilly, the venue hosted performances by Widespread Panic, The String Cheese Incident, John Mayer, moe., Guster, God Street Wine, From Good Homes, Strangefolk, Agents of Good Roots and numerous other acts. The versions of "Ants Marching" and "Tripping Billies" that appear on Dave Matthews Band’s debut album, Remember Two Things were recorded at The Muse. However, O’Reilly eventually opted to recalibrate and place his focus on local events and food service.

Although Arnot is too young to have attended any of the classic shows, he was well aware of the venue’s legacy. “I always heard about The Muse and I always knew who had played in there,” he says. “Every time you walk around the room, there are all these signed photos of the bands that played in years past. My dad would go there all the time back in the day, but I was born in ’93. The music stuff was really going strong in the '90s until probably ’02 or ’03. So I missed Dispatch, Train, Guster, Dave, Mayer and Hootie. All of them played it. I remember thinking it was pretty wild that they all did that.”

In 2022, Arnot co-founded Nantucket Crisps, the island-inspired potato chip company, and he identifies parallel motivations that led him to launch last year’s Summer Series. He explains, “Music's one of the most important parts of my life, and I love Nantucket very much—so much that I started a potato chip company off Nantucket, which is pretty wild. So one day last summer I had this idea of bringing amazing musicians out to this island to make our island happy, and but also show these musicians this special place.

The String Cheese Incident Confirm Fall Tour, Halloween Run at The Cap

The String Cheese Incident have confirmed another leg of their Just Keep Spinning Tour, which will keep the veteran Colorado act on the road into December. After their annual Huluween festival, which will return to Live Oak, FL from October 23-25, String Cheese will hit the road for a series of headlining dates, beginning at Red Bank, NJ’s Count Basie Center For The Arts on October 28, before winding through the Midwest and California. Of note, along the way, SCI will return to Port Chester, NY’s Capitol Theatre for Halloween weekend shows on October 30 and 31, and stage multi-night runs at Oakland, CA’s Fox Theater on December 4 and 5 and Del Mar, CA’s The Sound on December 10 and 11. For their fall tour, The String Cheese Incident will welcome nonprofits HeadCount and Concerted, which offers fans an opportunity to volunteer on local community service projects in exchange for a ticket to designated concerts, at each stop.   

The ensemble has already debuted a handful of new originals this year as they work toward their next studio project in The Lab. Their summer tour will resume with a stop at Cleveland Heights, OH’s Cain Park Evans Amphitheater on August 11.

Looking ahead, String Cheese will head to Africa for the first time as part of The Moroccan Incident, which touches down in Marrakech, Morocco, from September 24-26.

Guster Welcome Brad Barr and Bebe Stockwell, Perform ‘Ganging Up on the Sun’ In Its Entirety

Guster hosted their annual On the Ocean event in Portland, ME, this past weekend. The festivities kicked off at the ornate Merrill Auditorium on Friday, with Guster performing alongside the Portland Symphony Orchestra. At one point, before busting into the always charged “The Elevator,” which discusses the impactful point in a person’s life when they are taking care of both their aging parents and children, frontman Ryan Miller got emotional while admitting that he dropped off his oldest child at college that very morning. The band also ended the show, as they often do, by performing a stripped-down version of “Jesus on the Radio,” with members of the symphony joining them for the banjo-enhanced tune.

On Saturday, the festivities moved over to Portland, ME’s Thompson's Point, with Iron & Wine, The Barr Brothers, Bebe Stockwell and Cilla Bonnie supplying support duties. In addition, touring Guster drummer/keyboardist Dave Butler put together one of the “and friends” shows he often stages during his Monday night residency at Hopewell, NJ’s Hopewell Fare, with the members of Guster sitting in with him at various points during the segment.  

During their headlining spot, Guster offered a career-spanning set, with Miller adlibbing a song about their recent trip to Alaska; the group performed in the state for the first time in July, making them the rare act to have played all 50 states. Adding to the theatrics, on Saturday, Miller crowd-surfed into the audience to sing while on a pool floaty. Besides key tracks from each of their nine albums, Guster also offered “Lost at Sea,” a B-side off 2010’s Easy Wonderful that they only debuted in 2024, and the rarely performed 1996 Goldfly tune “Great Escape,” which they revived earlier this year for the first time since 2023. Stockwell and The Barr Brothers guitarist Brad Barr also joined Guster on stage for a tender take on Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon,” which the evening’s hosts hadn’t covered in two years. Though Barr’s group The Slip came off age in the same Wetlands scene as Guster in the ’90s, and they share many musical acquaintances, last night was the first time the two acts collaborated in a former setting.
