Improvement Movement Enlist Life-Size Puppets for Latest in Video Series That Accompanies New Album
Last Friday, Improvement Movement released their latest studio album via ATO Records. The album captures the wide-ranging sounds of the group that blends rich vocal harmonies and engaging melodies with some prog-rock predictions. The Atlanta-based band has been out on the road over the past few years, supporting Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Iron & Wine, Houndmouth, and Khurangbin. The quartet even performed a recent set at Relix. On September 5, Improvement Movement will appear on CBS Saturday Morning.
The band’s multi-instrumentalists—Tony Aparo, Clark Hamilton, Marshall Ruffin, and Zach Pyles—have delivered an eccentric, eclectic album that has been matched by the videos that have accompanied the release. They have dropped a new one today for the song "In The Morning" that features hand-crafted giant likenesses of the band members.
The group notes, “This video explores the question, 'What if 'I’ll see you in the morning' was a threat?” Then adds, "When Zach’s wife made larger than life paper mache heads for the band he immediately Googled 'How to animate mouth on giant puppet?'”

The Midnight Rides of Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds
One of the initial reference points for the new studio album by Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds, was a live performance by the critically heralded but criminally underappreciated funk fusion innovators, Stuff.
“We were on a European tour early last year on those double decker kind of tight claustrophobic buses,” Sturgill Simpson recalls, as he details his group’s collective connection to the pioneering act from 1970s. “We were on the bus with the crew, whereas in the States we're on our own bus. So at night we’d have these TV listening parties, and we just started watching all these old Live at Montreux videos. At some point we were like, ‘Let's just do that. It looks pretty fun.’ So when we went into the studio it had nothing to do with the music we’d just played on tour. It was us trying to capture songs based around serving these grooves as opposed to big, expansive instrumental features.”
In the letter he wrote to accompany the release of Mutiny After Midnight, Simpson also indicated that the band had revisited “off-the-beaten track concept records like Marvin Gaye’s ‘In Our Lifetime,’ where, in what looks like the end of the world, the artist’s response is ‘Let’s dance and make love.’”

Premiere: Bloodkin Continues to Connect via New Song “Drinkin’ Blue”
Childhood best friends Eric Carter and Danny Hutchens formed Bloodkin in 1986. The band released eight studio albums and wrote hundreds of songs before Carter passed away in 2021. After struggling with the loss of his creative collabrator and longtime comrade, Hutchens has assembled a new version of the group and released an album.
Flowers & Ash, which will be released on September 11, was produced by Hutchens and longtime associate David Barbe. The record features the group’s current lineup of Carter (vocals, guitar), Betsy Franck (vocals, guitar), Tori Pater (vocals, guitar), John Neff (guitar, pedal steel), Jon Mills (bass), and Aaron Phillips (drums).
Today we are premiering “Drinkin’ Blue” from the forthcoming record. The song features the poetic, engaging songcraft that long endeared Bloodkin to bands such as Widespread Panic, which still performs Bloodkin originals such as "Can't Get High," "Henry Parsons Died" and "Makes Sense To Me."

Little Feat’s Fred Tackett and Scott Sharrard Share Video and Tour Dates Ahead of Album Release
On July 30, Fred Tackett and Scott Sharrard first appeared as a duo at the Egyptian Theater in Park City. This proved to be a taste of what was to come as the two Little Feat members have announced an album and tour.
Honest Men is set for release on September 18. The record will focus on their original songs, including those they’d written with Lowell George and Gregg Allman. Sharrard was Allman’s music director for many years, while Tackett wrote “Fool Yourself” for the Dixie Chicken album 15 years before he officially joined George and Little Feat.
Tackett hails their “total trust in each other,” and points to playing “that we don’t have to think about.” The two musicians have shared a live performance video that affirms this perspective. “Roll Um Easy” is the only pure cover on the album, a version of George’s “Roll Um Easy.”

The Ionia Freak Fair will take place today and tomorrow in Ionia, MI. On the eve of the event, Greensky Bluegrass, who will appear at the fest, performed in Grand Rapids, MI. Mark Lavengood, who will host the Bily Strings-curated festival, opened the night with his group, and a number of Ionia Freak Freak participants joined Greensky over the course of the evening, including Strings himself.
The first set opened with a cover of Grateful Dead’s “Feel Like A Stranger,” which Greensky last performed at Red Rocks on 9/14/24. From there the group focused on its own staples from “Demons” to “Blood Sucking F(r)iends” to “Grow Together.” Then Lavengood appeared on dobro for the band’s “I’d Probably Kill You” from 2011’s Handguns. The quintet then closed out the set by moving through three more band originals: “Take Cover,” “Windshield” and “Run Or Die”
Greensky emerged for the second set and kicked things off with If Sorrows Swim track “Worried About the Weather.” Then, following Stress Dreams’ "Monument” Vince Herman appeared for the Dolly Parton tune “My Tennessee Mountain Home,” in tribute to the artist who passed away earlier this week. As Herman stepped off the stage, Strings emerged and joined Greensky Bluegrass for the remainder of the second frame, as the band moved through its own staples “Living Over,” “Solstice,” “Reverend” (which Strings has performed with his own group since 2019) and then “Broke Mountain Breakdown” which led into “Tied Down.” Herman returned for the encore, joining Strings and Greensky for John Hartford’s “Get No Better” and the Shawn Camp/Billy Burnette tune ““My Love Will Not Change.”

Bear’s Sonic Journals: Concordance—150 Years of Charles Ives
If you’ve followed the OSF’s painstakingly curated rollout of Bear’s Sonic Journals, and trust us, you should), then this 12th installment from the legendary tape archive of Owsley “Bear” Stanley begs the question—why Charles Ives, and why now?
As is often the case with any creative venture that hurtles into the orbit of the Grateful Dead, it started with a road trip. Back in early 1966, Bear guided the young band members on an acid-fueled ride into the Berkeley hills with the radio auspiciously tuned to a broadcast of Ives’ lush, dreamlike Symphony No. 4. Phil Lesh in particular was enthralled—so much so that eight years later, in March 1974, he excitedly recruited Bear to approach acclaimed pianist John Kirkpatrick about recording his performance of Ives’ Concord Sonata, in celebration of the composer’s 100th birthday, at the Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium, just north of San Francisco.
Fast forward to Ives’ 150thvin 2024, when the OSF rediscovered Bear’s tapes and hoped to team up with Lesh to mix and release them: sadly, Lesh passed before that could happen, but producers Pete Bell and Hawk Semins went ahead with the project, and the resulting 2-disc set remains a powerful tribute to the enthusiasm of everyone involved. Disc 1, likely recorded on Bear’s portable Nagra deck, preserves Kirkpatrick’s performance—not to mention the warm, forgiving sound of the room—in all its colorful lushness and moments of quiet intimacy. Ives’ music is nothing if not dynamic; well ahead of his time, the composer is known for his distinctly improvisational feel, merging chord clusters and rhapsodic passages with precisely rendered melodic lines and changes in rhythm that can suggest an entire catalog of early 20th-century American popular music in the space of a few minutes.

Trey Anastasio, Dave Matthews and Chris Stapleton will all perform at the T.J. Martell Foundation’s 51st annual New York Honors Gala on Tuesday, September 15.

“I’ve spent my career surrounded by talented and generous artists, and this night will be one more example of their generosity,” Capshaw said in a statement. “I’m grateful to Trey, Dave and Chris, and to the T.J. Martell Foundation for over fifty years of funding the research that helps save lives.”
