The Spirited Sounds of Ruthie Foster

For the first time in her illustrious career, Ruthie Foster is following up a Grammy-winning album. The Texas native and six-time Grammy nominee finally took home the well-deserved high honor in 2025 with a Best Contemporary Blues Album for Mileage. An album of widespread critical acclaim, it also marked Foster’s first creative partnership with producer Tyler Bryant, a Nashville-based Texan guitarist and leader of The Shakedown.

For her latest release, Just Say Yes, Foster teamed up again with Bryant, beginning with a ten-day writing session with the producer and his wife—Larkin Poe’s Rebecca Lovell—then recording the album at Bryant’s newly christened Crosstie Studios. As well, Foster enlisted the help of Lovell’s sibling bandmate, Megan, and her husband, Mike Seal, to track the ten-song effort loaded with an eclectic mix of blues, gospel, soul, and rock. The scintillating new LP is an inspired follow-up to Mileage, burnished with personal revelations and positive intent.

Jon Madof Trio: Netzach

Surf music was famously invented in the early 1960s by Dick Dale, a Lebanese-American kid from Boston. Dale’s big hit, “Miserlou,” was adapted from a Mediterranean folk song, and he played his guitar like an oud, which he’d learned from his uncle, with staccato verve. Dale turned up the reverb, employed non-Western scales, and included the celebratory Jewish tune “Hava Nagila” in his repertoire. More than a half-century later, New York guitarist Jon Madof and bandmates Yoshie Fruchter (bass) and Nate Rappaport (drums) make surf rock sound all kinds of new on the power trio’s debut album, Netzach (Eternity), which transforms the oceanic sounds of surf into something deeper, heavier and edgier.

Madof is probably best known for his band Zion80, a stunningly innovative concept ensemble that blended the polyrhythms of Fela Kuti’s afrobeat style with the baal teshuva balladry of controversial American rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. The Jon Madof Trio, however, is a stripped-down, amped-up take on radical Jewish music tradition that emerged in Downtown New York during the 1990s. It’s also probably fair to call Madof’s guitar sound the latest in a lineage that also includes the late, great Israeli guitar improviser Yosi Piamenta.

Netzach opens with Madof improvising an unaccompanied introduction to “Achdut” (unity, harmony), a rolling and tumbling synthesis of surf and associated styles extending from Brighton Beach to Tel Aviv. Madof employs a wide array of effects throughout the album, which also touches on jazz, epiphanic balladry, and the off-kilter “afrobeat” of “A Pure Heart.” Fruchter and Rappaport respond to Madof’s instrumental storytelling like the longtime cohorts they are. The album might reach its apotheosis in “The Beautiful Six,” which suggests a klezmer mosh pit replete with ancient gnarl. Madof and company demonstrate that surf music was never as simple as might have thought, and that it can still roar like the waves. Netzach is a significant contribution to the Tzadik label’s ongoing commitment to exploring Jewish musical culture in novel manifestations.

Dave Matthews Band Welcome Guest Fiddlers, Pearl Jam Guitarist at The Gorge

Dave Matthews Band closed their summer tour with their annual Labor Day run at George, WA’s The Gorge. After performing their 2009 release Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King in its entirety and welcoming opener Stephen Wilson Jr. to the stage Friday, the surprises continued on Saturday.

First, Tatiana Hargreaves, one of several fiddlers who has sat in with Dave Matthews Band this summer, emerged for “Satellite” and “Grace is Gone.” Then, Pearl Jam guitarist and Seattle music hero Mike McCready took the stage with Dave Matthews Band for the first time since 2022 for Led Zeppelin’s “Fool in the Rain,” and Casey Driessen, another fiddler who has sat in with DMB this year, appeared on “Pig” and “Lie in Our Graves.” Just as surprising, Driessen remained on stage while Hargreaves returned for some double-fiddle action on a set-closing “Ants Marching” as well as an encore of Bob Dylan’s “Oh, Sister,” which hadn’t been played by the full Dave Matthews Band since June 3, 2015.

For the tour-closing gig on Sunday, Dave Matthews Band invited Jesse Welles and Sierra Hull to supply support duties. Welles returned to the stage during the headliner’s set eight songs in for a memorable cover of Daniel Lanois’ “The Maker,” while Hull appeared a bit later on the country classic “Long Black Veil,” “Spoon” and an extended “The Last Stop.” Driessen also dropped in on “Spoon” and Hargreaves took the stage soon after for “Cry Freedom.” Then both players helped the band out on the violin showcase “Tripping Billies.”
