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.” .

New Mimi Fishman Foundation Auction Features Sets of Drumheads and Drumsticks Signed by Jon Fishman
Since 1999 the Mimi Fishman Foundation has raised approximately $600,000 in support of organizations committed to the health and children and families. The Fundation places a particular emphasis on issues involving visual impairment. It does so through a series of online auctions that occur throughout the year.
The MFF describes itself as “a volunteer-administered, fan-driven non-profit dedicated to raising funds for a diverse range of charitable organizations that each, in some way, touched the life of our founder Mimi Fishman. Mother to Phish’s drummer Jon Fishman; Mimi established the Foundation with the idea that partnering with bands like Phish could truly influence charitable giving and philanthropic engagement.”
The latest auctions feature show-used drumheads and drumsticks from the Phish 2025 summer tour. For the first time the Foundation has created paired auction items that combine a drumstick and drumhead, both used and signed by Phish drummer Jon Fishman. The auction is live and ends Tuesday, August 18, 2026.

Oteil Burbridge Remembers Bob Weir: Weathering Heights
[This article appears in our special 132-page Bob Weir edition, which presents rare photography, archival interviews and new conversations that pay tribute to an endearing, enduring artist. We previously shared our Sturgill Simpson, Susan Tedeschi, Margo Price and Don Was features from the publication.]
“I didn’t really know Bob until the last 10 years. Even though I met him about 20 ago, I didn’t spend any hangout time with him,” Oteil Burbridge indicates, while chronicling his connection with his Dead & Company bandmate Bobby Weir. “I wasn’t a Deadhead, but I became the bass player because we shared a philosophy. We worshiped the same God and that God is complete musical freedom.”
Burbridge then revisits a memory of performing with Weir during Dead & Company’s initial tour in 2015, which drew on the band members’ collective penchant for creative abandon. He recalls, “In the early days we were trying to find ourselves. It didn’t sound anything like the Grateful Dead, but that was never the goal. We were trying to find out what we did sound like, and we figured that the crowd was going to let us know. Just like pro wrestling, the crowd’s going to let you know immediately if it’s working or not working. It took a little while but sometimes we would build momentum, almost get carried away to the point where it would just explode, and the crowd would just go insane. That was something.”
Shortly after Weir’s death, Burbridge shared an eloquent summation of Bobby’s all-encompassing artistic spirit. At that time, the bass player reflected, “I can’t think of anyone that needed to play live music more than Bob. It went past devotion, past dedication, past obsession. It seemed to me more like self-identification. I think he felt it is what and who he was. I also cannot think of anyone who played more live shows. We could depend on it like the sun coming up. He was so unique as a human and a musician. His mannerisms when he spoke were just as singular as the way he played guitar, sang, composed and lived day to day.”

Glen Hansard of The Frames and The Swell Season, Passes Away at 56
Irish musician Glen Hansard has passed away. The BBC first reported that he died in single-vehicle motorcycle crash. The accident took place this morning around 4:30 AM in Dublin. Hansard was 56.
His management group later announced: “With broken hearts we announce the passing of Glen Hansard who passed away, in the early hours of this morning, following a road traffic accident in Dublin. Glen’s family is deeply shocked and heartbroken by this tragic loss and respectfully requests privacy at this extremely difficult time. The family is grateful for the support they have received and wishes to thank the emergency services who attended the scene.”
Hansard, who was raised in Dublin, was still a teenager when he left school and founded The Frames, which recorded 6 albums of soulful folk-inflected music between 1991 and 2006. In 1991 Hansard also appeared in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, which tracks the development of a Dublin-based group that draws together young working-class musicians.
In 2006 he also moved into his post-Frames career with The Swell Season, in which he collaborated with Czech singer and multi-instrumentalist Markéta Irglová. The Swell Season released its eponymous album that year and followed up with Strict Joy in 2029.

Oteil Burbridge to Join LaMP on Make-A-Wish Tour
Oteil Burbridge will partner with LaMP for a special tour benefiting Make-A-Wish this October. The bassist, known for his tenures in The Allman Brothers Band, Dead & Company and Aquarium Rescue Unite, will perform alongside the Vermont-based trio—which brings together Trey Anastasio Band drummer Russ Lawton, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead guitarist Scott Metzger and Trey Anastasio Band keyboardist Ray Paczkowski—each night of the run. Presented by Fiddlehead Brewing Company, the outing will include stops at Saratoga Springs, NY’s Universal Preservation Hall (10/6), South Burlington, VT’s Higher Ground (10/7), New York’s Brooklyn Bowl (10/8) and Somerville, MA’s Somerville Theatre (10/9).

“I’m so excited to share the stage with Russ, Ray and Scott on this upcoming run for such a great organization,” Burbridge said in a statement. “I’ve participated in Make-A-Wish since the Allman Brothers days, but it has been a long time. This is a rare opportunity to join LaMP and see what flavor of musical brew we can conjure up. Don’t miss this one if you’re within striking distance.”

Jim James Confirms Acoustic Dates, Shares New Single
Jim James has confirmed a series of solo acoustic dates. The My Morning Jacket frontman, who is slated to release his first solo album in eight years, Wowed Out, on August 28, will hit the road this fall, promising a mix of solo cuts, My Morning Jacket songs and fun covers. The outing will kick off at Louisville, KY’s Kentucky Performing Arts Brown Theatre on November 28 and include stops at Chicago, IL’s The Vic Theatre (12/1), New York, NY’s The Town Hall (12/3), Boston, MA’s Wilbur Theatre (12/6), Boulder, CO’s Boulder Theater (12/8) and Los Angeles, CA’s Glendale Presbyterian Church (12/11). Before then, James will appear at The Marquis on Main Street as part of Park City, UT’s Song Summit 2026 on August 28.
Along with the tour announcement, James has also shared the title-track and latest single from his new set, “Wowed Out,” along with a video for the song that was edited by W.G. Rickel.
“Lately I’ve been really into music like Alice Coltrane’s spiritual recordings,” James said in a statement, “where it’s just her and organ praying together, and there’s no major event. I wanted these songs to feel like a journey that takes you somewhere rewarding, without always trying for some big dramatic payoff like a massive chorus or a huge guitar solo.”
