Grahame Lesh & Friends Fill Out Their Fall 2026 Tour Plans
Grahame Lesh has confirmed a round of fall dates with Grahame Lesh & Friends. The run will kick off with a trio of Massachusetts Halloween weekend shows—October 29 at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, followed by October 30–31 at The Muse in Nantucket. Then, from November 12–14, the project will return to Los Angeles for a three-night stand at Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. The tour will head South from there for gigs at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC, on December 18, and Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on December 19. As previously reported, Lesh will also ring in 2027 with a two-night New Year’s celebration at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale, FL, on December 30–31, where Grahame Lesh & Friends will be joined by Kanika Moore and the Wolfpack.
Throughout the summer, Lesh has been marking appearances as part of the Terrapin Roadshow, the traveling concert series inspired by the spirit and community of Terrapin Crossroads. The 2026 Roadshow kicked off May 30–31 in Monte Rio, CA, before traveling to San Rafael, Grants Pass, Oregon, and most recently Truckee, CA, where Lesh was joined by Amy Helm and the Helm Family Ramble for the Terrapin Helm Family Ramble, celebrating the musical histories of the Lesh and Helm families. This weekend, the Roadshow will make its first-ever Colorado stop at Two Rivers Park in Glenwood Springs from August 22–23, with Bill Nershi and Kyle Hollingsworth of The String Cheese Incident, Ross James, Mark Levy, Elliott Peck, and additional special guests joining the party

Lesh also sat in with Little Feat at Oakland, CA’s Fox Theatre on August 10. He emerged at the end of the group’s first set for “Shakedown Street” and then returned during the second set for Little Feat catalog staples “Willin’” and “Spanish Moon” as well as the Dead’s “Franklin’s Tower.” He remained on stage as the night came to a close with “Dixie Chicken,” “Tennessee Jed” and “Feats Don't Fail Me Now.” Miko Marks also sat in on “Willin’” while Justin Phipps and Cyril Wright emerged for Little Walter and His Jukes’ “Mellow Down Easy.”

Gov’t Mule Honor Frank Beard with ZZ Top Covers
Gov’t Mule paid tribute to ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard during their performance at Livingston, MT’s Pine Creek Lodge Montana last night. A few hours after learning that Beard passed away in hospice, the members of Gov’t Mule, who have deep roots with the ZZ Top family and have recorded with the band’s guitarist/singer Billy Gibbons, offered their spin on a pair of ZZ Top cuts.
After performing “Banks of the Deep End,” a tune about deep loss first set, Gov’t Mule kicked off their second set with the Rio Grande Mud selection “Just Got Paid” and then moved into the Fandango! track “Nasty Dogs And Funky Kings.” Gov’t Mule began playing both of the songs during their earliest days, in 1994 and 1997, respectively, but had not performed either number since a December 31, 2024, gig where they celebrated their own 30th anniversary.
“RIP Frank Beard. By now, everyone knows of my (and Gov’t Mule’s) affinity for ZZ TOP. It would be impossible for a trio like Gov’t Mule to not be influenced by ZZ TOP–we’ve worn that on our sleeves as we will do tonight when we play some ZZ songs at our show in honor of Frank,” Warren Haynes said in a statement on social media. “As I’ve stated many times, in any trio (even more than in larger bands) each member’s musical personality has everything to do with the chemistry and each member plays a larger role as no one can “coast” —each person has to be firing on all cylinders at all times. Frank Beard was the perfect drummer for ZZ TOP. The way he played with Billy and Dusty created a unique groove that was evident from the first song any of us ever heard by them. It was bluesy, it was rock and roll, but it was FUNKY. Think about how every drummer (including recently my 14-year-old son) was excited to figure out that enigma of a fill he played (two different times, two different ways) in LaGrange. All the ZZ TOP records were filled with these hooky riffs and grooves that would have sounded different with 3 different hombres playing them. Frank came up with these unique drum patterns that most (or all) drummers would have approached differently, and we’re all grateful that he did. I loved Frank’s drumming on all those records, but if I had to choose one as an example of his style it would be ‘Tejas.’ I remember hearing that record for the first time and thinking that he had opened a whole new door—for himself and everyone else. Having worked with those guys many times through the years, I can say it was always an honor to share the stage and to call them my friends. After losing Dusty, this is a tough blow but we all know that the musical spirit of ZZ TOP will ride into the future—loud and proud. Thanks for paving the way for so many.”

Old Crow Medicine Show Make New Year’s Plans with North Mississippi Allstars at The Ryman
Old Crow Medicine Show have confirmed their New Year’s Eve plans. For the 17th year, the ensemble will spend December 31 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, the famed former home of the Grand Ole Opry colloquially known as the Mother Church. This year, Old Crow will appear at the venue on December 30 and 31, with North Mississippi Allstars opening both nights.
Along with the announcement, the string band have shared a stirring black-and-white video for “Revolution Now,” a highlight from their new LP, Union Made that features vocals by Turnpike Troubadours frontman Evan Felker.
“Lee Oskar and I wrote ‘Revolution Now’ from that feeling that something has to change, even when nobody seems to agree on the way forward,” bandleader Ketch Secor said in a statement of his time writing with the War harmonica player. “It’s not a song about left or right. It’s about loving this country enough to wrestle with where we are and wonder how we find our way home. Evan Felker brought exactly the kind of honesty and urgency the song needed. The video reaches back through images of Americans working, organizing and standing together through other unsettled times—a reminder that this isn’t the first time we’ve had to figure out how to find our path forward.”

Cameron Winter to Release ‘Live at Carnegie Hall’

The Geese frontman performed alone throughout the night, reworking songs from his 2024 debut solo album, Heavy Metal and the EP tracks “Take It With You” and “Vines.” Paul Thomas Anderson and Benny Safdie reportedly filmed the event.
At Carnegie Hall, Winter also shared three previously unreleased compositions, “Emperor XIII in Shades,” “If You Turn Back Now” and “It All Fell in the River,” each offering a glimpse into his future creative avenues. The set will be available digitally, as well as on CD and vinyl, via Partisan Records/Play It Again Sam.

Disco Biscuits Confirm More Fall Dates, Halloween Movie Night
The Disco Biscuits have filled out their fall 2026 tour with two additional weekends, both of which consist of four dates across the Northeast. The new concerts include a two-night run at Worchester, MA’s The Palladium on October 30 and 31, highlighted by a Halloween show where the band will provide an improvisational soundtrack to a yet-be-be-named film as part of a special Movie Night.
The Disco Biscuits have scored films live several times before during the past 27 years, most recently at Pelham, TN’s Caverns as they soundtracked Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 classic 2001: A Space Odyssey on October 31, 2024, as part of a multi-night, multi-themed stand. Their first live film score took place on December 31, 1999, when they played along to Katuhiro Otomo’s anime classic Akira. Two years later, they jammed to a series of films during a Pacific Northwest Halloween jaunt, including Alice In Wonderland (Oct. 31, 2001), It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (Nov. 1, 2001), Koyaanisqatsi (Nov. 2, 2001) and Run Lola Run (Nov. 3, 2001). They have revived the tradition a few select times since those revered shows.
The band’s newly confirmed shows also include stops at Rutland, VT’s Paramount Theatre (10/8), Buffalo, NY’s Town Ballroom (10/9-10), Syracuse, NY’s Westcott Theater (10/11), Concord, NH’s Capitol Center for the Arts (10/28) and Hartford, CT’s Infinity Hall (10/29).

Guster Welcome Members of My Morning Jacket, Rubblebucket for Crowd Gags and Covers
Guster hit the road in mid-August right after their annual On the Ocean festival and kept that event’s collaborative spirit intact as they moved through the Northeast. On Tuesday, August 11, the group performed at South Deerfield, MA’s Tree House Brewing Company, with Rubblebucket’s Alex Toth opening the night with his eponymous Tōth project. The members of Guster also welcomed Toth back to the stage during their set to play trumpet on one of their signature tunes, the 1996 Goldfly track “Airport Song.”
A few days later, on Friday, August 14, Tōth opened for Guster once again at Albany, NY’s ornate The Egg and the trumpet player joined the group during their show a second time. Elevating things a bit, this time Toth emerged in the crowd for a gag, performing alongside the band, who were still on the stage, during “Lost at Sea,” an outtake from 2010’s Easy Wonderful that was only debuted live in 2024.
Then, while appearing at Fairport, NY’s Hoochenanny on Saturday, August 15, Guster welcomed drummer Patrick Hallahan, whose band My Morning Jacket were also on the bill, out for a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s iconic “Dreams.” As previously reported, later in the day MMJ also welcomed Karina Rykman, who has toured with Guster, out during their set.

ZZ Top Drummer Frank Beard 1949–2026
Photo credit: Jimmy Steinfeldt
ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has passed away. The Texas native, who anchored the group from behind the kit for 56 years, was in hospice care when he died at his ranch with his family by his side. The group had canceled their August 5 date at the Hollywood Bowl last week due to "unforeseen personal matters.”
Beard was born on June 11,1949 in Frankston, TX and later grew up in Irving, TX. There he connected with bassist and fellow Beatles fan Dusty Hill. The two backed various artists as a rock-solid rhythm section, including Lightnin’ Hopkins.
In late 1969 the drummer reached out to Billy F Gibbons, suggesting that he and Hill would be a perfect complement to the guitarist. As Gibbons later said of the initial jam session at his home, “It was a blues in D, a shuffle and we just didn’t want to stop . . . and we didn’t for the next five or six decades.”

Watch: Tedeschi Trucks Band Join The Black Crowes at the Hollywood Bowl
The Black Crowes and Tedeschi Trucks Band are both out on the road continuing their summer tours. Last evening their itineraries aligned for a gig at the Hollywood Bowl. Whiskey Myers, opened the evening, followed by TTB and the Crowes.
TTB’s set opened with a cover of the blues staple “Got My Mojo Workin'.” Then the group offered up “Do I Look Worried” from 2013’s Made Up Mind, followed by “Who Am I” and “Hero” from 2026’s Future Soul. The Let Me Get By (2016) track “I Want More" came next and led into a cover of Frank Zappa’s “Willie the Pimp.” Other highlights included a version of “Bound for Glory” from the group’s debut Revelator (2011), as well as a sequence that moved from a jam featuring sax player Kebbi Williams and drummer Isaac Eady, which moved into Dr. John’s “I Walk on Guilded Splinters,” then Jeff Beck’s “Beck's Bolero.”
The Black Crowes opened with their classic “Remedy,” which they juxtaposed with “It’s Like That” from their new album A Pound of Feathers. The remainder of their set spanned the group’s career including “Jealous Again,” “Lay It All On Me,” “Thorn In My Pride,” “Soul Singing,” “She Talks To Angels” and “Twice As Hard.”
