Mt. Joy Nod to Harry Styles, the Grateful Dead and Frank Ocean at MSG
Last night, Mt. Joy returned to New York’s Madison Square Garden for their second headlining performance at the famed venue. Their first gig in the revered space since 2024, the evening celebrated their 10th anniversary and featured a number of special guests and creative covers.
A few songs into the night, the Philadelphia-bred act included a snippet of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” during their own “Let Loose,” and soon after, they invited out friend Gigi Perez for “In the Middle,” the same number the singer sat in with Mt. Joy for at Gov Ball in 2025. From there, after some more originals, they debuted their take on Frank Ocean’s “Pink + White” and, following “Younger Days,” the ensemble went into some of Harry Styles’ “As It Was.” That cover was particularly timely since the pop singer is currently in the middle of a 30-night run at MSG. On the heels of their tune “Witness,” Mt. Joy offered their eponymous number, weaving in the Grateful Dead’s “Fire on the Mountain” along the way, and “Highway Queen,” before Caamp’s Taylor Meier emerged for a take on Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”
Finally, near the end of the set, fellow Philly act SNACKTIME took the stage to add some brass might to “Pink Lady,” “Lucy” and a version of “Julia” that included some of The Flaming Lips’ “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” and Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy.” Just before their encore, Mt. Joy also invited Perez back out and asked SNACKTIME to remain on stage for “Silver Lining.”

Warren Haynes Confirms Initial Christmas Jam Details
On December 12, Warren Haynes Presents: The Christmas Jam will return to Asheville, NC’s ExploreAsheville.com Arena. The one-night-only concert, held in Haynes’ hometown, will benefit the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity and BeLoved Asheville. This will be the 34th year Haynes hosts the special, multi-band show.
A tradition dating back to the guitarist’ club days, Christmas Jam returned in 2022 for the first time since 2018 and has once again become an annual event. In 2024, the show did not take place due to devastating effects of Hurricane Helene, but Haynes quickly put together the Soulshine benefit at New York’s Madison Square Garden to provide aid to the area. Christmas Jam returned to Asheville last year, boasting Stone Temple Pilots, Warren Haynes & Friend, MJ Lenderman & The Wind, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, and a tribute to Phil Lesh. This year’s lineup will be confirmed this fall.
Haynes released the new live album, Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey earlier today. The orchestral set was co-produced by Don Was.

The Avett Brothers Bust Out “Linger” in New Haven
The Avett Brothers are currently making their way down the East Coast for a run of headlining shows. Last night, the North Carolina-bred act performed at New Haven, CT’s Westville Music Bowl. Guster opened the night and, at the top of their encore, The Avett Brothers busted out their take on The Cranberries’ ’90s classic “Linger” for the first time since February 2, 2018.
According to Setlist.fm, The Avett Brothers debuted the tune just two songs into their show at Louisville, KY’s Louisville Palace Theatre on January 20, 2018, just five days after Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan died from accidental drowning due to alcohol intoxication at the age of 46. The Avett Brothers’ February 2 take on the song less than two weeks later, which took place during their Avett Brothers At The Beach event in Mexico, was the only other known time they played the emotive cover.
The Avett Brothers and Guster will perform at Vienna, VA’s Wolf Trap this evening. The Avetts also recently announced that they will return to Asheville, NC for New Year’s Eve.

TAUK’s Matt Jalbert to Release Solo Album, Tour with New All-Star Band
TAUK guitarist Matt Jalbert has released “Somebody’s Child,” the first single and title track from his debut album of the same name. The LP is set for release November 20 via ELM Records. “Somebody’s Child” arrives with a new video and officially launches the musician’s next chapter, which finds him singing and writing lyrics for the first time on the eight-song collection.
“This was the first song I wrote,” Jalbert said in a statement. “At first, I kept wondering whether it was too late to start writing lyrics in my thirties, especially when so many musicians and songwriters had started much earlier. How could I ever catch up? But once I got into the creative process, I realized none of that mattered. I was having fun doing it. The song gets at that feeling: make the most of your time, do what feels good and keep searching. If you can have some fun and feel some love, you’re lucky. When you’re a child, comparison doesn’t matter. You make things because it’s fun to make things. You have to keep that spirit alive.”
Recorded at Tone Town in Los Angeles, Somebody’s Child was produced by Jalbert, Curtis Kelley and Devin Runco. Kelley and Runco engineered and mixed the album, which was mastered by Joe Bagale. Jalbert handles guitar and vocals, with Kelley on drums, percussion and vocals, and Runco on bass. Steve Watkins plays keys throughout the set.

Sufjan Stevens: ‘Worst Christmas Ever!’
Sufjan Stevens will compile his holiday singles into a new volume for Asthmatic Kitty Records, Worst Christmas Ever! Slated for release on November 6, the record features 15 of Stevens’ indie-Christmas staples, drawn fromthe more than 100 Christmas recordings originally released on the box sets Songs for Christmas and Silver & Gold, as well as the previously unheard track “On This Christmas (It Only Gets Better).”
The musician first started making Christmas music in 2001. At the time, he didn’t plan for those early songs to lead to the nearly five hours of Christmas songs that now makes up his holiday catalog. Instead, he was “simply making gifts for friends and family.” According to a statement from the musician, “The process was the same each time: one week in December, usually at home, he’d pull in whoever was around, usually friends, roommates, or musical peers.”
In 2006, Asthmatic Kitty collected the first five volumes as Songs for Christmas, Vols. 1-5, and in 2012, the label released Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10, compiling five more EPs recorded between 2006 and 2010.

Watch: John Fogerty and Steve Winwood Come Together for “In the Midnight Hour”
John Fogerty and Steve Winwood, two classic rock legends, are currently on the road together as part of a joint shed tour. Both acts have been offering career-spanning sets each night and, on Wednesday evening at Charloette, NC’s Truliant Amphitheater, the two acts shared the stage on a famed cover.
Winwood played first and during Fogerty’s show-closing performance, he brought Winwood back to the stage to join him for Wilson Pickett’s revered “In the Midnight Hour.” According to Setlist.fm, Fogerty has not played the tune since a March 3, 2017, show at Las Vegas’ Encore Theater. The Creedence Clearwater Revival singer/guitarist has riffed on the song during several jam sessions and tribute shows over the year, but the number has never been part of his regular solo concert setlists.
Winwood and Fogerty will perform together at St. Augustine, FL’s St. Augustine Amphitheatre this evening.

Billy Strings: So Much for Goodbyes
There’s always been a darkness hanging over Billy Strings, something he’s been processing through his music since his 2017 debut, Turmoil & Tinfoil. Strings has never hid his rough upbringing in Michigan, his family’s struggles with addiction or his own drug use. But he’s rarely been as open and direct as he is on his fifth solo record, So Much for Goodbyes, the guitarist’s first since his mother died of a drug overdose last year.
Debra Apostol’s passing looms over the 16-song set. The cover art is a mixed media piece she was working on the day she died. And you can hear him working through his grief in real-time on the plaintive ballad “Still I Crash:” “Mother, can you still hear mе?” he pleads. “Wishing you were still near mе/ Hoping that this won't really be the end.” Even the upbeat bluegrass number “Remember to Cry” is clouded by her loss: “If I would have known you'd leave me all alone,” he sings, “I would have remembered to cry.” He contemplates his own death and, perhaps, an end to generational trauma on the banjo- and fiddle-driven “Lay Me Down”: “Lay me down on the hillside,” he demands. “Lay me down and walk away/ Leave no roses on my headstone.”
Co-produced by Strings and Americana legend T Bone Burnett, So Much for Goodbyes is his most polished record to date and his most scattershot. Clocking in at 75 minutes, it’s a lot to take in but it’s full of gems that showcase his strength as a songwriter. The country-leaning “Mill Town Flood,” featuring backing vocals from Lindsay Lou, is up there with Strings’ best work. The same goes for “Live to Tell,” a jazzy country song with Alison Krauss that offers one of the record’s few bits of studio improv. Strings briefly loosens up for the silly “I Like Train Songs,” but it all comes back to his mom. The album ends with “Debra’s Waltz,” a gorgeous instrumental elegy to the woman he never got to say goodbye to.
