The tiny concert, which was announced just two hours earlier, kicked off with the Sound & Fury tune “A Good Look,” before moving into the debut of the new number “Make America Fuk Again,” from Simpsons’s 2026 Johnny Blue Skies LP Mutiny After Midnight, and then back into “A Good Luck.” The rest of the show mixed originals, covers and live debuts, including Prince’ “Purple Rain,” Simpson’s first live reading of Bad Company’s “Feel Like Makin' Love,” “Welcome to Earth (Pollywog),” Eddie Murphy’s “Party All the Time,” “It Ain't All Flowers,” “Best Clockmaker on Mars,” “Right Kind of Dream,” “All Said and Done,” “If the Sun Never Rises Again,” “Fastest Horse in Town,” “Mint Tea,” “Brace for Impact (Live a Little),” William Bell’s “You Don't Miss Your Water” and “Call to Arms.”
Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds—whose lineup also includes drummer Miles “Easy Luvin” Miller, guitarist “Little Joe” Joamets, bassist Kevin “Black Daddy” Black and keyboardist/saxophonist Robbie “Raw B” Crowell—debuted a slew of other tracks from Mutiny After Midnight as well, including “Stay On That,” “Everyone Is Welcome,” “Excited Delirium,” “Venus,” “Ain’t That A Bitch,” “Viridescent,” “Don't Let Go” and “Situation.” At the end of the night, Simpson and his Johnny Blue Skies band brought things to a close with their first spin on the Talking Heads classic “Life During Wartime.”

Goose Crash Boulder College Party Ahead of Red Rocks Run
Goose made a surprise appearance at college house party in Boulder, CO last night, entertaining a group of students ahead of their sold-out five-night swing through Colorado. The quartet offered a mix of originals and covers, kicking things off with a seamless segue from “The Empress Of Organos” into Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Green River,” the second part of “The Empress Of Organos” and “Thatch.” From there, the musicians paused briefly before moving from “Yeti” into Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks,” the rest of “Yeti” and Stevie Wonder’s “Boogie On Reggae Woman.” They closed the surprise set with “Animal,” during which, in classic college-party fashion, the police attempted to bust the show, though the band played on. The party marked the first time Goose has covered “Pumped Up Kicks” since October 3, 2025, and first time they have performed “Boogie on Reggae Woman” since February 29, 2020.
Goose will perform at Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre this evening, as well as on August 28 and September 1.

Dolly Parton Will Release an Original Song on Her 100th Birthday
Dolly Parton will release an original song on what would have been her 100th birthday, January 19, 2046. According to ABC news, Parton placed an unreleased track, “My Place in History,” inside a chestnut box at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort in Pigeon Forge, TN, with the intention of dropping the number to mark her centennial. Parton is said to have written and recorded the song in 2015, the year DreamMore opened, when she was 69 years old with instructions that the box remain sealed. “My Place in History” lives on a CD, but Parton apparently thought ahead and included a CD player inside the time capsule. The singer also referenced the number in her 2020 book, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics, where Parton joked about whether the technology would survive long enough for the plan to work.
“Dolly worked up until the day she died. She loved seeing her dreams come to life and loved knowing her work brought people joy. Ever the planner, Dolly worked with the team that she handpicked, for the past several years to build a project roadmap that will guide us for decades to come,” her longtime manager Danny Nozell said in a statement. “As the leader of the team responsible for overseeing her legacy, we will ensure the many dreams she had yet to fulfill are brought to life. Many projects were in various stages of development, and we want to be transparent with her fans about this fact. If you see unreleased music, products, books, experiences, and campaigns launched through official Dolly Parton channels, you can have confidence in knowing that she placed her personal stamp on it.”
An overview of active projects at the time of her passing include:

Posthumous Album from Todd Snider Will Reflect His Vision of Country Music 10 Years in the Future
Before Todd Snider passed away last November, he completed work on a new album of original material. Snider described the songs that he’d recorded as “the sound of country music 10 years from now.” By this he was referencing an approach that has been described as “a rhythmic, blues-based shuffle augmented by horns, background vocalists, and Snider’s own hand percussion.”
This music will be released on October 9 as My Second Rodeo. Snider recorded the 10 songs that appear on the album at his East Nashville studio The Purple Building. Here he was joined by his steady collaborators Joe Bisirri, Robbie Crowell, and Aaron Lee Tasjan. This core trio was augmented by vocalists Brooke Gronemeyer, Nikki Barber, and Alicia Gail, as well as horn players Emmanuel Echem and Roy Agee.
Bisirri, who produced the album with Crowell, notes, “This album is a glimpse into the creative outpouring from Todd in September and October of 2025. His ‘sound of country music 10 years from now’ meant taking his favorite country music tropes, dismantling and reassembling them over stretched-out, swampy grooves with New Orleans-style horns. He was so sure of this sound, feel, and his studio band's pliability that he insisted on recording his vocal and guitar first, with no accompaniment or click track. Todd wanted the band to record after him, so they would HAVE to follow his lead wherever it went.”
