Goose Resume Summer Tour with Andrew Bird Debut, Grateful Dead Cover in San Diego
After taking five weeks off the road, Goose returned to the stage last night in San Diego. The band begins a steady slate of shows that will extend into early September and includes two nights at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater in Bend, OR (8/21 with Greensky Bluegrass and 8/22 with Buffalo Traffic Jams) and three Red Rocks performances (8/27, 8/28 and 9/1),
Ther group opened with two standalone tunes from 2025’s Everything Must Go: “Animal” and “Iguana Song.” Then Goose moved into “Drive” which has been in the band’s repertoire since 2018 and segued into a first-ever performance of Andrew Bird’s “Capsized,” which appears on his 2016 record Are You Serious. Rick Mitarotonda sang the tune. This was followed by an improv-laden take on the Dripfield song “Borne,” which found its way to “Silver Rising.” The set-closer was live staple “Flodown.”
Goose then delivered a four-song second set. The group started things out with an open-ended take on the title track track to the band’s latest album, Big Modern! which eventually led into Dripfield’s “Slow Ready.” Then it was another one-two punch, as an extended “Thatch” eventually moved into a cover of the Jerry Garcia-Robert Hunter tune “Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo,” which has been in the group’s repertoire for over a decade. The encore was Dripfield’s closing number “726.”

Listen to Ween’s ‘Golden Wastes’
Late last month Rhino released the Deluxe Edition of Ween’s 1996 album 12 Golden Country Greats. Dean Ween (Mickey Melchiondo) and Gene Ween (Aaron Freeman) originally traveled to Nashville to work with producer Ben Vaughn on the record. Vaughn pulled together a number of Nashville session players, including The Jordanaires, who had once backed Elvis Presley, to back the pair on the project. The resulting album initially proved confounding to some of the band’s fans at the time but has grown in stature over the years.
12 Golden Country Greats (Deluxe Edition) presents over 20 previously unreleased recordings across 3 CDs and 3 LPs. The 36 songs on the package include two tunes that were recorded but never made the final 10-song album. These missing tracks are “So Long Jerry,” written following the passing of the Grateful Dead icon Jerry Garcia and “I’ve Got No Darkside,” which is a honky-tonk tune.
Now, Rhino has issued a companion EP. Golden Wastes presents four additional selections that didn’t find their way onto 12 Golden Country Greats (Deluxe Edition). It opens with “I’m Holding You (Waste Version),” an alternative version of the song that opens the original record. This is followed by “There's A Smooth Talkin' Dude Around,” which offers a different iteration of “Pretty Girl” from the album. “Mister Richard Smoker (Alternate Take)” is a variant on the song from 12 Golden Country Greats while “I'm Gonna Fix Your Ass (Alternate Take)” offers in another version of a song that appears in the Deluxe Edition.

St. Paul & The Broken Bones Share New Tune from Forthcoming Four-Song Set
St. Paul & The Broken Bones have just announced that they will follow up their eponymous studio record with a new four-song release. Proxy will be issued on September 18th via Oasis Pizza Records. The band’s namesake, Paul Janeway, notes, ““The best part of releasing this music is it gets to find its place in the world. I think this is a really strong collection of songs. Obviously, there are only four songs, but they carry the same weight as songs on a full album. Each song carries its own story. I am really proud of this collection, and I hope they get to be a part of flashbulb memories for those that hear them.”
Last month the band shared “Mess I Made” from Proxy. Today the group offers up “Loving Wrong.” Janeway says of this tune: “The wonderful part of this song is it sounds like a standard 6/8 ballad but then it takes a turn at the outro that makes for a really beautiful epic moment. I think this band does ballads really well. There are the general catch all lyrics about lost love that could be sung by anyone who has gone through heart ache.” “Loving Wrong” can be heard here.
Proxy is available for pre-save. A limited 10” vinyl of Proxy will be available in the US exclusively through Rough Trade on October 9th and can be pre-ordered here.

Last evening at the Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park in Indianapolis, moe. and Umphrey’s McGee continued the concluding stretch of their moe.mentUM tour. This series of dates began on June 11 and over the two months that followed, the groups have been in and out of each other’s orbit. Each gig has featured individual sets from both groups followed by a UMoe. performance at the end of the night.
On Thursday, moe. appeared first for a set that was bookended by “Yellow Tigers.” Following that tune, the six-piece offered versions of the group’s “Tailspin,” Jethro Tull’s “Locomotive Breath” and moe’s “Stranger Than Fiction.” Then the group delivered an extended sequence that moved from “Three Eyed Serpent” into “The Pit,” “Shoot First,” “Puebla,” “Timmy Tucker” and then finally “Yellow Tigers” once again.
Umphrey’s set also included an lengthy, improv-laden section. The opening “There's No Crying In Mexico” led into “Cut the Cable.” Then following a stand-alone “Walletsworth,” the group entwined “Escape Goat,” “Push the Pig,” “Resolution,” “Plunger” and “The Floor.”

Grahame Lesh & Friends To Ring in the New Year with The Wolfpack
Grahame Lesh & Friends just wrapped up a series of dates that saw the band travel to Washington DC and then the Midwest. During the group’s two sold out performances at Garcia’s in Chicago on August 9, Grahame and bandmate Justin Mazer each took a turn playing Jerry Garcia’s Travis Bean TB500 11 guitar.
Looking ahead to the end of the year, the group will offer another special performance that nods to the Grateful Dead. On January 2 and 3, 2005 Bob Weir performed at the The Parker Theater in Fort Lauderdale. This came on the heels of a four night run at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in the same city, during which the group expanded its roster with the addition of The Wolfpack.
On December 30 and 31 Grahame Lesh & Friends will make their way to Fort Lauderdale and appear at The Parker Theater with The Wolfpack.

Watch: Warren Haynes Performs “Thorazine Shuffle” with the Asheville Symphony Orchestra
On September 18, Warren Haynes will release Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey. He co-produced the album with Don Was, which presents music from Haynes' performance with the 64-piece Asheville Symphony Orchestra at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, in Haynes’ hometown of Asheville, NC on March 16, 2019. Haynes’ core band that evening featured Oteil Burbridge, John Medeski, Jeff Sipe and Greg Osby, along with vocalists Edwin McCain and Jasmine Muhammad. The setlist spanned Haynes’ musical career, from the Allman Brothers Band and Gov’t Mule through his time in The Dead and Phil & Friends.
The latest song Haynes has shared from the forthcoming collection is “Thorazine Shuffle,” which appears on Gov’t Mule’s 1998 album Dose. Haynes notes, “John Medeski did the arrangement for ‘Thorazine Shuffle,’ and his unique take on music in general was what led me to ask him to arrange that particular piece. He was able to strike a balance for ‘Thorazine Shuffle’ that takes it a little further avant-garde than most of the songs but still has that beautiful symphonic quality as far as the arrangement is concerned that really transports it into another place. His counter-melodies and all the different textures that he put in that song elevated it in a way that I wasn't expecting. It's probably the most unique arrangement on the record.”
Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey is now available to pre-order and pre-save.

Lukas Nelson and Alam Khan Join Tedeschi Trucks Band in California
The Tedeschi Trucks Band have resumed its extensive summer tour and is now making its way across the Golden State. On Wednesday the group appeared at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. Last night, TTB was at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Then, it's on to Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in San Diego on Sunday, followed by an appearance at the Hollywood Bowl on Monday.
The Berkeley show opened with three songs from the group’s new album Future Soul: “Crazy Cryin’” “I Got You” and “What in the World.” The extended set also offered a memorable version of “Let Me Get By,” which was preceded by a jam that featured saxophone player Kebbi Williams and drummers Issac Eady and Tyler Greenwell. Given the Bay Area locale, a later version of the Grateful Dead’s “Sugaree” also was fitting, as paired with John Prine’s “Angel from Montgomery.” Midway through the set, Alam Khan, Head of Indian Classical Instrumental Studies at the Ali Akbar College of Music, joined in on sarod for a soaring take on the TTB original “Hold That Line,” which appears on I Am The Moon: II. The group had last performed the tune on 11/15/24. Lukas Nelson opened the show with his band and later guested on Leon Russell’s “A Song For You.”
Nelson also joined in last night during the encore in Santa Barbara. This marked the first occasion in which he’s brought out some of his bandmates as well, with Dakota Holden (guitar) and Eli Salus-Kleiner (keys) appearing for the encore, which was Neil Young’s “Helpless” followed by “Space Captain,” the Matthew Moore composition that Joe Cocker made his own during the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour. The evening also included a version of The Rolling Stones’ “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker).” Mike Mattison sang lead on the song, which TTB had previously played on 9/29/23.

The String Cheese Incident at KEMBA Live!

By song three of its August 12 performance at KEMBA Live!, The String Cheese Incident had caught a wave that would carry it across the two-set, nearly three-hour affair. And the band—like the audience—was stoked as it burned through “How Mountain Girls Can Love.”
Over the course of the evening, keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth mouthed the notes he played and seemed to have as much fun as the fans were having. Drummer Michael Travis moved like a bobblehead behind his kit. Percussionist Jason Hann was a dervish behind his array of implements. The perennially barefoot guitarist Bill Nershi ran in place and bassist Keith Moseley had kicked off his shoes by the end, also. Only Michael Kang, who alternated between electric guitar and fiddle all night, remained relatively motionless on stage. And everyone but Hann took at least one turn at lead vocals before the night concluded with Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Could You be Loved.”
Opening in low-key fashion with “Close Your Eyes” and the apropos-for-sopping-wet-Columbus-Ohio “100 Year Flood,” the 70-minute first set unfurled like the sonic patchwork that defines SCI, from the calypso stylings of the instrumental “Manga” to the funk-hop of “Way That it Goes,” which found Hollingsworth doing his version of a rap between talkbox solos. The set-closing couplet of “Outside Inside” > “I Know You Rider” began with Nershi and Kang summoning Allmanesque guitar harmonies before the vocal harmonies of “Rider.”
Though most dates on its Just Keep Spinning summer tour have been outdoors, the band was excited to be playing inside, Moseley said early in the evening. And it showed in the music and the atmosphere, which matched perfect sound that made all six players audible and identifiable in the mix with a relatively muted light show that left the focus in the ears.
In the audience, no one was hula-hooping, so the fans filled the air with bubbles and vapor.
The 105-minute second set was a trance-like affair, with significant chunks devoted instrumental interludes like the improvised segue that linked “Illegal” with “Rollover” and such compositions as “Rivertrance,” over which Kang (fiddle) and Nershi’s (acoustic guitar) solos substituted for vocals.
The presentation seemed deliberately suited for listening and watching in a dark room rather than singing and dancing with abandon under the stars. To that effect, mellower fare like “Hotel Window” and “Piece of Mine” made appearances and Hollingsworth doubled on percussion for “Get Tight,” giving extra swing to the obvious nod to “Eyes of the World,” and played a keytar solo on “Beautiful.”
That last bit was played for comic effect and it, too, could be loved.

While all albums capture a moment in time, on occasion they also coincide with a resonant and revelatory experience outside the recording space.
Such a situation can supply a musician with heightened acuity and awareness that informs and inspires the matter at hand.
Of course that’s all well and good but at times even the best of intentions can fall flat.
Thankfully, Maggie Rose’s new album Half Moon, which is deeply entwined with the birth of her first child, is an elevated and enlightening artistic expression.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: Alien Metal
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are masters of creating music that gets slathered with multi-hyphenate genre descriptors—the best attempts of writers, publicists and fans to capture what these Australian genius-freaks are up to now. But their 28th (pause for gasp) album since forming in 2010 is a bit easier: with Alien Metal, King Gizz has taken to techno.
And they’re going to make you dance. Alien Metal comprises eight tracks, but the album is best ingested as a full set—beats, beeps and blasts surfacing, pulsing, and subsiding over and over for a high energy 45 minutes. It should surprise no one that the album was born out of pure experimentation. Joe Walker had kept his techno obsession outside the King Gizz universe for years, but he finally introduced bandmate Stu Mackenzie to the Eurorack, a customizable set of synthesizer modules. The band eventually created Nathan, a Frankenstein-like synth behemoth, and began adding six-man techno jams to some shows beginning in 2024. Alien Metal is the result of one jam on Nathan—locked-in at 143 beats per minute.
Beyond the backstory, the album is just as playful. Even if you initially discovered the always experimenting ensemble because of their prog-rock release or a punkier track, a “King Gizzard’s rave album” shouldn’t scare you off—they haven’t transformed into The Chainsmokers. Alien Metal is dense and complex, layers upon layers of electronic melodies, distorted vocals, buzzsaw synthesizers, punishing industrial guitars, and beats that bop between straight-ahead techno, drum and bass, and breakbeat.
