Joe Bonamassa and Gov’t Mule Swap Sit Ins
Last night, Joe Bonamassa and Gov't Mule kicked off a joint tour at Vienna, VA’s Filene Center at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts. Each act offered a full set and, as many hoped, they also opened up their stages to some cross-pollination. Gov't Mule played first and invited out Bonamassa for a memorable take on “Statesboro Blues,” the famed Blind Willie McTell tune that The Allman Brothers Band made their own decades ago, during their performance. Then, during Bonamassa's portion of the show, Gov’t Mule singer/guitarist Warren Haynes returned the favor, emerging for a cover Billy Cobham’s "Stratus."
Haynes and Bonamassa are longtime friends and have collaborated in a variety of settings over the years. The blues guitarist even recorded Haynes' “If Heartaches Were Nickels,” which was first released by Kenny Neal in 1994, on his 2000 debut LP, A New Day Yesterday.
Gov’t Mule and Bonamassa will appear at Bangor, ME’s Maine Savings Amphitheater tomorrow.

Disco Biscuits Welcome Guests, Bust Out Tunes in Pennsylvania
The Disco Biscuits spent this past weekend making the rounds in their home state of Pennsylvania. Each of the three shows was a festive, multi-band bill and, throughout the run, the Philadelphia-bred band both welcomed some special guests and busted out some long-shelved songs.
On Friday, the group performed at Johnstown, PA’s Flood City Music Fesitval, offering two sets as part of a lineup that also included Aron Magner’s Deadtronica, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Greensky Bluegrass, Karina Rykman, Solar Circuit, Magoo, Jennifer Hartswick Band and Habatat, among others. During the Biscuits’ show, the quartet invited out Rykman and Trey Anastasio Band trombonist Natalie Cressman, who was onsite as part of Hartswick’s band, to help them through their first cover of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” since May 6, 2023. The song ended up extending past the 16-minute mark, and later on in the show, the group revived “Another Spin” for the first time since June 28, 2025, marking their first take on the tune with new drummer Marlon Lewis. While on site, Cressman and Hartswick also sat in with Greensky, who expanded to their 6reensky Bluegrass configuration with Bowling on keys, for "Lose My Way."
Then, on Saturday and Sunday, the Disco Biscuits headlined shows at King Of Prussia, PA’s Heuser Park. On night one, Eggy and DJ Marbs Menthol opened and the Disco Biscuits busted out the long-lost Planet Anthem original “Big Wrecking Ball” for the first time since August 26, 2010. (The tune, written by guitarist Jon Gutwillig, was only played for a brief period that year.) Finally, on Sunday, LeSpecial and DJ Marbs Menthol provided support duties, and the Disco Biscuits offered another cut for the first time with Lewis, Marc Brownstein’s Uncivilized Area classic “Morph Dusseldorf,” which had been on the shelf since August 27, 2025.

Julian Lage Rejoins Bob Dylan’s Band (Again)
Julian Lage has swapped back in as the guitarist in Bob Dylan's band. Last night, the noted musician performed with Dylan throughout his set at Wilmington, NC's Live Oak Bank Pavilion at Riverfront Park, replacing Jad Tariq.
It has been a rollercoaster ride for Dylan's normally stable backing band. This spring, Dylan surprised fans by bringing on Julian Lage to replace Doug Lancio—who had been on the road with The Bard since the Rough and Rowdy Ways World Wide Tour opened in November of 2021—for a June 17 gig at California’s Santa Barbara Bowl. Lage and Bob Britt, a member of Dylan’s band since October 2019, shared guitar duties until June 26, at which point Britt departed the tour after making a cryptic Facebook post that seemed to imply that he quit.
Things have been in a state of flux ever since then. Dylan led a four-piece outfit with only replacement band member Joel Patterson on electric guitar for five performances from June 29 through July 4, before Lage returned to play alongside Patterson in Shakopee, MN on July 6 and Chicago on July 8. From there, Dylan recruited the Connecticut-bred, Memphis-based guitarist Tariq for gigs on July 10 and 12, but Lage swapped back in for shows on July 14, 16, 18 and 19. Yet, when Dylan took the stage at Queens, NY’s Forest Hills Stadium on July 21, Richmond, VA’s Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront on July 23 and Vienna, Virginia's Filene Center at Wolf Trap on July 24 and 25, Tariq was back in for Lage. Dylan has not addressed the frequent changes to his band publicly.
Lage has been commuting back and forth between the US and Europe, where he already had a series of shows booked before his first appearance with Dylan, throughout the summer. He is expected to appear with Dylan when he closes his current tour with gigs at Atlanta’s Synovus Bank Amphitheater at Chastain Park this Friday and Nashville's Ascend Federal Credit Union Amphitheater this Saturday.

The National Confirm Only 2026 Concert
The National have confirmed their only 2026 show. For their first performance since the end of 2024, the New York-via-Ohio musicians will play a special "and friends" set at San Sebastián, Spain's Kursaal Donostia on October 18.The show is part the AB100 weekend and celebration curated by The National's Aaron and Bryce Dessner.
An announcement about the event explains, "We are excited to announce our first performance since 2024 (and only show in 2026) as part of @__ab100__, a landmark weekend of music and celebration set in the Pays Basque on October 17th & 18th. AB100 is less a traditional festival than a gathering of artists, friends, and collaborators. At its heart, AB100 is a celebration of friendship in music, shining a light on the deep connections fostered by @aarondessner and @brycedessner and the community of artists they have brought together on the occasion of their 50th birthdays. The two-day programme unfolds across Biarritz and San Sebastián before culminating in a special one-off performance by The National & Friends at the Kursaal Donostia in the Spanish city."
Kevin Morby, Ben Howard, Jon Hopkins, Mina Tindle, Ragnar Kjartansson, Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Perry, Anaïs Mitchell, Ye Vagabonds, Lisa Hannigan, Angie McMahon, Kate Stables and Pomme are among the weekend's featured performers and collaborators. Additional acts will be confirmed in the coming weeks. The festivities will kick off in Biarritz on October 17 with an evening billed as Mixtape that the Dessners are slated to host. Hopkins will both perform and offer a DJ set.
As previously reported, Justin Vernon recently covered Morby after he missed the Eaux Claires festival, which the Bon Iver visionary co-founded with Aaron Dessner, due to the birth of his first child.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Share New Single

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have shared the title track off their twenty-eighth album, Alien Metal, which is slated for release later this summer on p(doom) records. Along the track, the group has dropped “Alien Metal”’s accompanying, Jason Galea-designed visualizer.
Written and recorded on the modular synthesizer set up which the members of King Gizzard took out on the road last year for their “rave shows,” named Nathan by the band, the LP finds the group leaning in a more electronic-music direction. King Gizzard will likely showcase the new songs from the LP—“Sapience,” “Alien Metal,” “Superheavy, Supercritical,” “Kill For The Steel,” “Level 5,” “Rapid Alpha Decay,” “Uqt” and “Atomic Collapse—when they hit the road later this summer.
In other news, King Gizzard have also confirmed a new set of dates in their native Australia. The ensemble will now make their way from Thirroul to Melbourne from October 13-18, stopping in Sydney along the way. Up next, the group will host their Field Of Vision II Festival in Buena Vista, CO, from August 14-16.

Phish Close MSG Residency with ’96 Nods, Rarities and Theatrics
Phish closed out their five-night run at New York’s Madison Square Garden yesterday, celebrating their 1996 era with an instant-classic show that contained several notable bust outs and extended jams. The year 1996 was a transitional period for Phish, as they settled into arenas around the country and continued to move from the once tightly woven compositions that defined their earlier works to a more traditional, heartfelt style of songwriting. Beginning with their fall tour and their Halloween cover of Talking Heads’ highly rhythmic Remain in Light LP, Phish also began to explore a more groove-driven approach to improvisation in late 1996, hinting at the cow-funk style they would fully embrace the following year. Like at previous MSG shows, Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon were also dressed in cloths from the era when they took the stage yesterday.
Last night’s concert kicked off with an a cappella performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which Phish originally started covering in the fall of 1996 when they were asked to sing the national anthem before a series of professional basketball games. The tune remained in Phish’s repertoire for years, though they had not performed it live since a December 28, 2016, stop at MSG, during a run where they opened each show with a different a cappella ditty.
From there, the group launched into the always welcome “McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters,” from the Gamehendge rock opera, before segueing into “Axilla (Part II).” That tune, which appears on 1994’s Hoist, contained one of the multi-night stand’s rare conceptual flubs—the band actually started by playing its sibling song “Axilla,” but after Trey Anastasio noted that they had already run through that number earlier in the residency, Phish quickly pivoted to “Axilla (Part II),” even though the band didn’t play that cut in 1996 (or at all between 1995-2021). “Axilla (Part II)” then segued into the Junta epic “Esther,” which enjoyed several notable plays in 1996 before slipping out of regular rotation, and another multi-part composition from the mid-1990s, “Guyute.” As a wink to an era when Phish began incorporating acoustic music into their repertoire both live and in the studio, Anastasio then strapped on an acoustic guitar for their first take on “Talk,” a seldom-played Billy Breathes selection that debuted in 1996, since October 13, 2023. It was also only their third reading of the tender original since the band’s 2009 reunion. Anastasio remained on acoustic for the wistful Hoist ballad “If I Could,” another song that fell out of regular rotation after 1996, and Jimi Hendrix’s “Bold As Love,” a tune Phish has covered with varying degrees of frequency since the 1980s and played once in 1996.

Brendan Bayliss Posts Message to Umphrey’s McGee Fans
Umphrey's McGee singer/guitarist Brendan Bayliss has formally addressed his band's recent lineup changes. As previously reported, last year Kris Myers stepped away from Umphrey's McGee after 22 years and was replaced by Scotty Zwang and, earlier this month, guitarist Jake Cinninger officially left the group following an extended sabbatical. His departure has left Umphrey's McGee as a quintet, as they were from 1998, when Andy Farag first joined, until 2000, when Cinninger signed on.
In a message, Bayliss said,
I wanted to take a minute to say thank you to each and every one of you for being so supportive over the last several months and years. Surely it hasn’t been easy on any of you, and I know what it feels like to have one of your favorite bands go through some unexpected lineup changes. Sometimes it’s hard to keep the faith and focus on the positives.
Life certainly happens when you’re busy making other plans, but instead of thinking about what once was, I am looking at this moment as an opportunity to focus on what can and will be.

Billy Strings Shares Lead Vocal Duties, Debuts New Covers in Hartford
photo: Madison Dodd
Last night Billy Strings appeared at the PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, CT. Strings and his band have been routing through New England, on a tour that will next take them to the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY on Friday and Saturday.
Tuesday’s show featured some song debuts and shared vocal responsibilities. The evening began with a lively “Cabin Song,” followed by a pairing of Carter Stanley’s “The Lonesome River” with a 10-minute take on “Home.” The quintet then revisited Grandpa Jones’ “It’s Raining Here This Morning” for the first time since 7/29/23. Other first set highlights include a twinned “Malfunction Junction” and “How Mountain Girls Can Love,” a 13-minute “Gild the Lily,” and a closing run from “Sally Johnson” into “Dust In A Baggie.”
The second set offered a range of sounds and perspectives, as Strings handed off lead vocals to his bandmates on three tunes. Billy Failing sang John Hartford’s “Steam Powered Aereo Plane.” Jarrod Walker took command on his own “Nighthawk.” Finally, Royal Masat offered up Marty Stuart’s “Old Mexico,” which the group last performed on 6/11/25, a 79 show gap. The five-piece also debuted The Carter Family’s “Sad and Lonesome Day” as well as “Thinking Right,” an Elmer Russell song long associated with Larry Sparks. In addition to all of this, the set opened with 12-miniute version of “Highway Hypnosis” and also included an extended take on Bob Dylan’s “Tangled Up in Blue.” .
