Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello-Graham Parker-Pretenders-The Damned), songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart, short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians' musician. But in his current 'second act' as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. Starting with 1995′s 'The Impossible Bird' through 2024's Indoor Safari' Nick has turned out a fantastic string of albums, each one devised in his West London home, and recorded with a core of musicians who possess the same veteran savvy. Lowe brings wit and understated excellence to every performance, leading Ben Ratliff of the New York Times to describe his live show as "elegant and nearly devastating."

"You grow wiser with age, you grow wiser while you're working and experiencing life, and I feel like I have a deeper understanding of what my music really is. We're moving into the neon era of country music. The pendulum is swinging, and you're watching it happen… Now I just hope people get their mind blown." — Randall King In the few short years since he arrived in Nashville, Randall King has made no bones about his honky-tonk allegiance. In fact, he's worn it like a badge of honor, growing with pride into a leading voice for today's traditional country. But if anyone thought he was stuck in the past, his new album proves otherwise. A West Texas native and self-described "old soul," the Warner Music Nashville star has never wavered in his country-to-the-core style. Amassing over 270 Million streams on a series of singles like "You In A Honky Tonk," "Hey Cowgirl" and "Mirror, Mirror," he's kept the twang alive in country's mainstream while also earning acclaim through deeply personal EPs like Leanna, and flexing his creative muscle with the 2022 concept album, Shot Glass – all while playing nearly 150 shows a year, honing his craft where it matters most. But with his sophomore major-label album, Into the Neon, his musical mix of timeless-and-trendsetting reaches fresh heights. With this one, he's taking honky tonk somewhere new – a place where "steel guitar and smoke" meet a modern buzz. "There's a side of me that has not been captured yet," King says, flashing a playful      grin and his matter-of-fact confidence. "One that's still honky tonk and country, but it's got an edge to it. That's where we got to on this one." For a guy known for sticking close to stylistic ground, that's an intriguing statement, but one that's not actually so tough to believe. Raised in Hereford, West Texas, not far from the New Mexico line, King grew up on a steady diet of country greats, from Keith Whitley and George Strait to Alan Jackson and John Anderson. Singing in the back of a '93 Chevy as it criss-crossed county roads and tractor paths alike, it was there that his love of the classics took shape – and where he would begin to develop his signature baritone, a rumbling vocal capable of both booming like thunder across the plains, or whispering with the midnight wind. Over time, he used that timeless vocal to build a rep all across Texas and beyond, embracing a road-warrior lifestyle and never waiting on permission to explore his creative vision. Working independently, King produced and released the defiant 2016 EP, Another Bullet, boldly going against the mainstream grain to proclaim honky tonk would not go down … at least, not without a fight. With fans flocking to his electrifying live shows – each one a harrowing mix of rowdy roughnecking, romantic tenderness and breathtaking emotion – he then followed up with a 2018 self-titled album, and hit Music Row with an all-or-nothing honky-tonk mandate. Shot Glass – his full length major label debut – landed on both Whiskey Riff's Top 40 Country Albums of 2022 and Billboard's All Genre 50 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far), and along with his never-ending tours of the U.S., King even took the pure-country gospel overseas, headlining and selling out venues in Europe and the U.K. in 2023 while being named a Country Artist to Watch by everyone from Pandora and Country Now to Music Mayhem Magazine. But despite his hand-crafted status as an old-school troubadour (with a new-school fire), it was actually a pair of modern masters who inspired King's early path, becoming the soundtrack to his coming of age. At 16, he "wore out Dierks Bentley's first three records," captivated by the unbridled energy and rootsy flair. King likewise calls Gary Allan's Smoke Rings In the Dark pivotal to the dusky emotion of his own sound, and with Into the Neon, 18 fresh songs build on those era-spanning touchstones like never before. Co-produced by King alongside Jared Conrad, King's neo-traditional ethos meets the blood-pumping rhythms and sharp, arena-sized grooves of Y2K-era country – plus a vocal that burns like a shot of straight tequila. Doubled electric guitars and heavy steel drive irresistible melodies forward, while an all-organic cast of add-ons like banjo, bouzouki and cello add depth to tender two-steppers and steel-toed boot stompers alike. All told, King grabs hold of something he's been chasing all along. "It's that smoky, edgy side of me that hasn't gotten to be shown off yet," he says. "That's what I've been looking for, and it's honestly the best singing I've done. I'm incredibly proud of the whole thing." Co-written by King with Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers, the title track "Into the Neon" buzzes like a sonic welcome sign. Vibey and slow burning, the song exudes desolate atmosphere, with a deep, musky vocal and lonesome, low-down twang welcoming a drifter "Into the Neon" of a modern-timeless ballad. With one foot in the a hazy ether of the past, and another firmly in the here and now, King says it hits close to home. "In the line of work I do, that's us 100 percent," King says. "Don't stick around too long. Don't stay on the same trail. Always thinking about riding off to the next town or next bar. Into the neon." All throughout, punchy sounds exist side-by-side with timeless swagger. Tracks like "Burns Like Her," for example, would feel at home on country radio – either today or in the early 2000s. With a smoldering foundation of classic passion, and King's voice set to an aching rumble, it also features a fuzzed out steel guitar, blurring the line between yesteryear and today. "Why would you not?" King says. "It's still me, it's still country as shit. It's just a little more rocking." Tunes like "When My Baby's In Boots" (Trannie Anderson, Michael Carter and Jordan Walker) feel like a long-lost jukebox anthem, pairing warm twang and a danceable rhythm with King's vocal at its flirtatious peak. "Hard to Humble" (Ben Hayslip, Corey Crowder and Chris LaCorte) matches a rolling banjo and rolling beat to a heart filled with smitten pride, as King plays a lucky guy who's out of his romantic league "by a country mile." Others like "Hang Of Hanging On" (Lee Brice, Brett Sheroky) offer up a Texas-style dancehall slow jam – complete with tender romantic strains and a swell of "seal-the-deal" sweetness – while "Coulda Been Love" (Jake Worthington, Roger Springer, Kim Penz) picks up the pace for a neo-honky-tonk anthem of missed opportunities – and with the fan favorite "I Don't Whiskey Anymore," King and co-writer Gordie Sampson serve up a reflective, caramel-voiced ballad of personal growth, as relevant now as ever. Meanwhile, standouts like "What Doesn't Kill You" double down on twang-rocking tailgate energy, and with the heartwarming "Right Things Right," King turns some simple advice into a swaying, windows-down mantra for a life well-lived. "One Night Dance" starts the project off with a lost-in-love collision of two hearts (and decades of country style), and while "But It Ain't" wraps a broken heart that refuses to heal in dark, dusky twang, "Tonk Til I Die" finds King renewing his forever-country vows – a barroom blaster which has never heard of "last call." But it's "I Could Be That Rain" that best displays King's new "edge" – and kicks off his neon chapter. An emotional flood pairing devotion and desperation with an easy groove, whisper-soft twang and drums meant to mimic the sound of rain on a tin roof, the track captures King's creative spirit in its full blaze of glory. Penned by Brian Fuller and Mason Thornley, it's a story of timeless heartache with all the elements of a country classic, plus the adventurous spirit of a modern hit – but it's not about living in the past. It's about keeping the good stuff alive in the present tense. To King's mind, that's where he was always headed. Bringing country music Into the Neon.

Join us for a conversation with the artists featured in our April UPcycle show. Hear about their inspiration, process and passions.

Billy Gardell currently stars in the CBS series Bob Hearts Abishola, from award-winning creator, executive producer and writer Chuck Lorre. Bob Hearts Abishola is a love story about a middle-aged compression sock businessman from Detroit who unexpectedly falls for his cardiac nurse, a Nigerian immigrant, while recovering from a heart attack and sets his sights on winning her over. Undaunted by Abishola's lack of initial interest or the vast differences in their backgrounds, Bob is determined to win Abishola's heart, in this comedic examination of immigrant life in America. Prior to BHA, Billy Gardell starred in the CBS hit television series, Mike & Molly as Officer Mike Biggs from 2010-2016. Mike & Molly continues to air in syndication to this day. In addition, he starred as Col. Tom Parker in the CMT series, Sun Records and has had a recurring role on another CBS hit series, Young Sheldon. In 2016 he received a daytime Emmy nomination as best gameshow host for Monopoly Millionaires Club. Before Mike & Molly, Gardell co-starred in the critically acclaimed television series Lucky. His other television credits include Yes Dear and Judging Amy, on the Network, My Name is Earl, The Practice, Monk and Gary the Rat. He made his major motion picture debut alongside Anthony Quinn and Sylvester Stallone in Avenging Angelo, and had a memorable scene with Billy Bob Thornton in the Cohen Brother's film Bad Santa. He also appeared in You, Me & Dupree. As a standup, Gardell took the long road to Hollywood, stopping at every small town lounge, military base and comedy club along the way. His comedy act took him to Los Angeles where his dedication to acting, along with touring as a stand-up comedian, allowed him to grow consistently in both arenas. His stand-up show is a powerhouse. His grounded, down-to-earth point of view strikes a strong chord with American audiences. Stories about his rough childhood, wild adolescence and new family life are executed with the skill of a master craftsman. As a standup comic, his comedy specials, Billy Gardell: Halftime, premiered on Comedy Central and Billy Gardell Presents Road Dogs premiered on Showtime. A native of Pittsburgh who currently lives in Los Angeles, Gardell loves Steeler football, stand-up comedy and his wife Patty, and son Will.

May, 1979. It's an ordinary Thursday evening, which means it's time for Top of the Pops. Amidst a zeitgeist of punk and disco, the show suddenly appears to be interrupted by a transmission from the future. A luminous synth riff echoes out, a beat drives on and up steps an otherworldly figure - part robot, part alien - to deliver an enigmatic lyric depicting some kind of android existence in a dystopian future. It's Gary Numan fronting Tubeway Army for their breakthrough hit 'Are 'Friends' Electric?'. Of the millions that are watching, few would've recognised that this moment foreshadows the shape of music to come, from synth-pop to industrial and alt-pop. That, however, can't stop it igniting the imagination of an audience that would swell into a devoted following. Fast-forward to January, 2021. Numan's first single 'Intruder' (from the Intruder album) pulsates ominously as if it's soundtracking an imminent threat. As austere synths loom like shadows and industrial beats are detonated, the beguiling hook towers like a beacon in the darkness. It's visionary and venomous, with a narrative that imagines the Earth growing angry at mankind's actions, and more than willing to fight back. In the accompanying video, Numan looks even more out of time than he did back in 1979, like an intergalactic refugee fighting for his own existence. Those two songs show how Numan has consistently fought against the grain to stick resolutely to his creative vision. In a career that spans over forty years, the music evolves and the themes change. But fans remain fascinated by Numan for the very fact that he's so uncompromising. Any story charting four decades will be a mixed blessing of momentous highs and meagre lows. The achievements are remarkable for someone who never made any concessions to mainstream success. Seven Top 10 singles, including 'Are 'Friends' Electric?' and the debut solo hit 'Cars'; eight Top 10 albums, three of which topped the charts; and huge critical acclaim, most notably with the Inspiration Award at the prestigious Ivor Novellos. Naturally, there were times when Numan was very much not in vogue. Sure, there would be ripples of rediscovery but there were years when his increasingly conceptual albums were primarily embraced by hardcore fans. He wasn't troubling the charts, but audiences were still flocking to see him perform - almost every UK tour would include a sold-out show at the 5000 capacity Hammersmith Apollo. Gradually, though, praise from Nine Inch Nails, Prince and David Bowie led to a reappraisal of his work. And that has been magnified in recent years with Kanye West, Lady Gaga and Dave Grohl citing him as an influence. And so, a new narrative emerged. An unlikely icon returned to the top while making music that was darker, fiercer and more inventive than ever. 'Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)' set the ball rolling by peaking at #20 in 2013, its precise, post-industrial sound delving into Numan's experiences with depression. He started a new deal with BMG in 2017 and released 'Savage (Songs From A Broken World)', an album which depicted earth as a barren wasteland in which humanity and culture had been largely crushed by the effects of global warming. 'Savage' hit #2 in the UK charts. His next album, 'Intruder', presented a fresh but complementary narrative. It's a philosophical examination of a potential future apocalypse: the planet can only survive by purging its inhabitants. 'Intruder' also hit #2 in the UK charts. Numan explained: "'Intruder' looks at climate change from the planet's point of view. If the Earth could speak, and feel things the way we do, what would it say? How would it feel? The songs, for the most part, attempt to be that voice, or at least try to express what I believe the earth must feel at the moment". The planet sees us as its children now grown into callous selfishness, with a total disregard for its well being. It feels betrayed, hurt and ravaged. Disillusioned and heartbroken it is now fighting back. Essentially, it considers human kind to be a mistake, a virus attacking the planet. Climate change is the undeniable sign of the Earth saying enough is enough, and finally doing what it needs to do to get rid of us, and explaining why it feels it has to do it." Partially written and recorded during lockdown, it's no surprise that current circumstances have been assimilated into its themes. It's especially evident in 'The Gift', which evolves from a sparse introduction into a resonant Middle-Eastern sonic motif. It imagines Covid-19 as the first weapon that the planet deploys in order to eradicate mankind and once again flourish. While anger and vengeance rage in its opening chapters, 'Intruder' charts a wider spectrum of emotions. 'Is This World Not Enough' and 'A Black Sun' exude regret and then despair that this fate could've been avoided. The finale presents a black-hearted double-bill to bring the curtain down on the tale. First 'Now And Forever' offers a hope of eternity in the end days during its theatrical intensity, before the sparse, sorrowful 'The End Of Dragons' ends on the chilling reminder that what's broken can't always be fixed. Collectively the album proves that Numan's creative spark shows no sign of being extinguished. Numan toured the Intruder album at over 130 shows around the world, finally ending in mid 2024 when he toured the US with Ministry. Since then he's been back in the studio writing and recording his next (and 23rd) album, due out in early 2026. This one looks at a near future world where humanity lives or dies based on the whims of an AI controlled system. He did take a few weeks out of the studio to play a major UK tour in the Fall to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of his 'Replicas' and 'The Pleasure Principle' albums, both UK Number 1's when first released. That's just a snapshot of the tale behind one of music's most singular talents. The full story can be found in Numan's critically acclaimed autobiography '(R)evolution', which The Observer described as an, "exhaustive, entertaining and often poignant life story." What comes next will surely be just as intriguing.

Created by Carl Palmer and his management, the show will be presented with the full cooperation of the Estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE ACT- THIS IS THE REAL THING.  Through modern technology they will reunite the band: Carl with his two bandmates, playing together along with Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, who both passed away in 2016. The show combines video performance of  Emerson and Lake from a legendary sold out ROYAL ALBERT HALL ELP show from 1992 with live on  stage performances of Carl Palmer with his own ELP Legacy band (Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick). . All the musicians play together in sync to present a complete and authentic Emerson, Lake & Palmer show. Emerson, Lake & Palmer (informally known as ELP) was an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of the Nice, Greg Lake of King Crimson (vocals, bass, guitar, producer), and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster (drums, percussion). With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide, they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson's flamboyant use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group). The band became prominent after performing at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. In their first year, the group signed with E.G. Records (who distributed the band's records through Island Records in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in North America) and released Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1970) and Tarkus (1971), both of which reached the UK top five. The band's success continued with Pictures at an Exhibition (1971), Trilogy (1972), and Brain Salad Surgery (1973, released on ELP's own Manticore Records label). After a three-year break, Emerson, Lake & Palmer released Works Volume 1 (1977) and Works Volume 2 (1977). After Love Beach (1978), the group disbanded in 1979. The members played in various solo and partial reunion combinations during the 1980s. In 1991, the original trio re-formed and released two more albums, Black Moon (1992) and In the Hot Seat (1994), and toured between 1992 and 1998. Their final performance occurred in 2010 at the High Voltage Festival in London to commemorate the band's 40th anniversary.

Hawaiian superstar Maoli brings his signature island sound to Vina Robles Amphitheatre on Saturday, April 18, 2026. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster, beginning Friday, December 19 at 10AM (local). The new show follows an unveiling of a fully reimagined version of his acclaimed album Last Sip of Summer. Last Sip of Summer (Island Vibe Edition) breathes new life into each track while staying true to his island roots. Listen to/share The Island Vibe Edition HERE. “Last Sip of Summer was always about capturing a feeling—now the whole album breathes island air,” says Maoli. “We didn’t just remix the album—we reimagined it. Last Sip of Summer was born in the sun, but now it’s soaked in reggae. Every track hits warmer, heavier, and closer to where we come from.” He recently wrapped up his successful Last Sip of Summer U.S. headline tour, with major stops including Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, two nights at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena, Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena and more. Maoli’s musical journey began in seventh grade, when he learned to play the ukelele. However, it wasn’t until years later that he fully returned to music, with some encouragement from his uncle. His now storied 15-year career is marked by a series of albums and singles, including covers of hits like Brett Young’s “Mercy” (25+ million Spotify streams) and “In Case You Didn’t Know” (10+ million Spotify streams). Last year, Maoli and Young collaborated on a new song, “Broke Heart Break.” Breaking into the mainstream with his unique mix of island reggae and country soul, Maoli aims to put his people on the map like they’ve never been before, revealing the common bonds between country folks and island lifers. In 2018, Maoli rediscovered his country roots, having seen the similarities between his music and modern country, from the melodies and strong rhythms to the tradition of simple-life storytelling. In 2010, his sophomore LP, Rock Easy, landed in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Reggae charts with three #1 singles: “Breaking My Heart,” “Whisper” and “Rock Easy.” In 2020, Maoli won Group of the Year and Album of the Year for the record, Sense Of Purpose, at iHeart’s Island Awards, followed by Album of the Year and Song of the Year in 2021. In 2023, the band embarked on their “Maoli Music Overload (MMO)” tour, selling more than 45,000 tickets across four cities in Hawaii, in addition to selling 11,500 tickets on the MMO US tour plus several Festival appearances including Cali Roots and Holo Holo Fest Sacramento.

Guitar icon Tommy Emmanuel C.G.P. is no stranger to iconic stages from Nashville's Ryman Auditorium to London's Royal Festival Hall and Paris' L'Olympia. The legendary entertainer has dazzled audiences across the world. But there is something truly magical about the Sydney Opera House, and the magic of Tommy's performances there has finally been capture on his new album Live at the Sydney Opera House. "The moment and power in these hours spent playing music, is perfectly preserved here on this record." Tommy says. "I hope you can feel the intensity of our musical and spiritual relationship… a bond built on a life freely given to all". Tommy performed two spellbinding shows on the Concert Hall stage in May 2023, with the best of both performances represented here. The setlist showcases the most beloved songs of Tommy's career – classic compositions like "Tall Fiddler," "Mombasa" and "Country Wide," recent fan favourites like "Fuel" and "Sail On" and his now iconic arrangement of "Classical Gas" and his thrilling "Beatles Medley." Tommy has a Grammy Award, multiple ARIA Awards and countless accolades, but nothing means more to Tommy than the three letters Chet Atkins designated at the end of Tommy's name: C.G.P. The title of Certified Guitar Player was the highest honor Atkins could bestow on another player – a signifier that the recipient had not only mastered the instrument but taken it to new vistas and become a guiding light for the next generation of pickers. Like Tommy, Chet had never gone to a university, and the C.G.P. was his version of a PHD or a Doctorate of the guitar. He gave the honor to Tommy and only five other handpicked players. As a songwriter and a performer, Tommy is a melting pot of influences across genres, form pop to bluegrass and jazz to rock n' roll. To him, music is rhythm and emotion, all other distinctions are meaningless. Anyone who has seen Tommy play will tell you, the vocalist is there, as is the drummer, the bass player and the rhythm and lead guitarists. In a way that must often be seen to be believed, Tommy plays all the parts of a full band simultaneously, his fingers dancing around the fretboard with a dexterity and speed that would seem impossible if you weren't witnessing it. Tommy's determination to entertain and move audiences through the power of music, remains undimmed as he closes in on his seventh decade as a performer. He can turn a jazz café into a cathedral or a radio station performance into the Ryman. But there is still something that a truly iconic venue like the Sydney Opera House – a mecca for music; that brings out the best in him. To have witnessed the pin drop silent audience hanging on every note of "Sail On," the propulsive rhythm of "Classical Gas," the impossible bluegrass speed-picking on "Tall Fiddler" and the delicate wringing of melody out of Paul Simon's immortal "American Tune," is to experience the communion of music at its most pure. That is Tommy Emmanuel, Live at the Sydney Opera House.

Alex Madonna Expo CenterTickets & More Info

AVTT/PTTN – Scott and Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton, legendary frontman of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle – unveiled their new self-titled album, out via Thirty Tigers, Ramseur Records and Ipecac Recordings. Alongside the release, the group announced a major 2026 US tour, which will make stops in Nashville, Austin, Boston, Brooklyn, and more — including the band’s festival debut at Big Ears in Knoxville, TN, on March 28, 2026. This tour will bring AVTT/PTTN to Paso Robles, CA on May 9, 2026, with a performance at Vina Robles Amphitheatre. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 5 at 12PM via Ticketmaster. Written by the Avetts and Patton, and produced by Patton, Scott, and GRAMMY-winning engineer Dana Nielsen (Metallica, Rihanna), the album represents more than just “one of the most unexpected collaborations of this (or any) year” (Consequence) — it’s a true full-circle moment. “Mike’s part of our DNA, like the fabric of our youth,” says Scott. “Literally, we studied him. He’s a dear friend now, but when we were younger, I was imitating him.” Patton adds, “My peculiar challenge in this was to become a long distant cousin. A brother that was orphaned. Maybe they kept him in the chicken coop or some shit. They brought him out years and years later.” The album opens with the gentle acoustic guitar of “Dark Night of My Soul,” where Patton’s seasoned croon merges with the Avetts’ voices for a rich three-part harmony. Elsewhere, the scuzzy stomp of the folk classic “The Ox Driver’s Song” and the driving fuzz of “Heaven’s Breath” push the Avetts into new sonic terrain, while showcasing Patton’s trademark dynamic range. Lead single “Eternal Love” flourishes as a meditation on the universal pull of love, capturing both its enduring beauty and the weight it can carry. Each track reflects the unusual way the record was built — songs sketched by Scott, reshaped by Patton, and then reimagined again with Seth — a process that gave the music its distinct character and balance. The unanticipated trio might not quite remember how they all first came into contact, but call it serendipity that their casual exchange of admiration grew into a genuine creative partnership. As the group traded songs and ideas across coasts, AVTT/PTTN came to fruition, showcasing Scott, Seth, and Mike at their most adventurous. “This is what art is,” Scott reflects. “This is what making is supposed to be: in secret and with no ambition.” About The Avett BrothersFour-time GRAMMY Award nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their critically acclaimed 2009 major label debut, I and Love and You. In 2012, The Carpenter hit #4 on the Billboard 200, followed by Magpie and the Dandelion in 2013, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200. The 2017 documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers (co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio) chronicles the process of writing 2016’s True Sadness, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums, #1 on Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200, and scored two Grammy nominations. The film was released theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews and is available on DVD/BluRay/VOD. In 2019, the band released their tenth studio album Closer Than Together featuring the single “High Steppin’” which reached #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. The Third Gleam came out amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, #1 Rock Albums, #1 Vinyl Albums, and the single “Victory” hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. This year saw the release of The Avett Brothers, an album that is as much untitled as it is self-titled: a collection of songs that revealed themselves naturally over time. Swept Away - a musical inspired by & featuring the music of The Avett Brothers - recently debuted on Broadway. The Avett Brothers have been inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and have earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association. They are currently on tour throughout the US. About Mike PattonMike Patton is a Renaissance man in the truest sense of the word. From his time spent with genre-defying alternatives acts like Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, to his multitude of collaborations including the deconstructed-pop of Peeping Tom, the rock-centric Tomahawk, and the Italian language orchestral classics he covered with Mondo Cane. His career has also ventured in film composing for movies such as Crank: High Voltage and A Place Beyond The Pines, voice acting in I Am Legend and multiple video games, and starting his own record label, Ipecac Recordings, showing there is no limit to what Patton can do.

Panchiko is beginning to settle into rockstar life. It's different from how the UK band imagined it when they were teens, crafting ethereal, at times cosmic bits of heart-forward rock music to little outside interest, playing shows to nearly empty rooms. They set aside their hopes of becoming full-time musicians and pursued other careers. Their high school artistry became a distant memory. But that all changed in 2016 when an internet user discovered Panchiko's discarded 2000 demo CD, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, in a Nottingham charity shop and posted it to 4chan to intrigue and fanfare. It took four years for Panchiko's legions of dedicated fans to find the people behind the music, but when they did, Panchiko's long let-go-of dreams became an imperative to pursue. Millions of curious listeners were swaying to their adolescent creations; it was time for them to meet their moment. Panchiko — which reformed in 2021 with original members Andy Wright (keyboardist and producer),  Owain Davies (vocalist and guitarist), and Shaun Ferreday (bassist) alongside new members Robert Harris (guitarist) and John Schofield (drummer) — pursued their new path with vigor. Upon discovering their own virality in 2020, they toured the world and wrote, recorded, and released their first album in 20+ years, 2023's Failed At Maths. But after the thrill of the whirlwind came a new question. What comes next when your dreams come true? The answer is Ginkgo, a 13-track project that finds the band making some of their most introspective, cinematic, and moving music yet. "The whole production has gone up ten-fold," says Wright of the new album. They were finally able to quit their day jobs and dedicate themselves to music full-time, which changed their process completely. "If you have a bit of time, you can make something really great." Plus, the band got their own studio in Nottingham, which they refer to as their "teenage dream." With time and space, making Ginkgo became a very different, slower process than the creation of Failed at Maths, which they recorded while balancing their nascent music career with day jobs — alongside the stuff of life, like the birth of Wright's child. You can hear the result of this slower approach on tracks like "Chapel of Salt," where the lyrics have a gravelly wisdom. "Obsolescence, greatest lessons/ You can't afford to miss/Don't go quietly in the night see/You're too good for this," sings Davies in a steady register, before the music veers towards the stars. Here too, the music feels bigger than Panchiko's earlier work which was colored by a bedroom intimacy. The sonic and lyrical scale is grander, but maybe a bit more weary and lived-in as well. The lessons of experience were on the band's mind. After touring the world with songs they had written as teenagers, Panchiko was beginning to craft music that reflected their current, more adult reality, like on "Lifestyle Trainers," a drifty swirl of guitar plucks and synth pads that finds the band reflecting on the winding road of long term commitment. But even as Panchiko explored the particulars of middle age, the teenage versions of themselves (the versions that wrote D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L) were still floating in their minds, especially given the fact that Panchiko's fans skew younger themselves. That's clear on album standout "Shandy In The Graveyard" (featuring billy woods) which Davies shares "came from [him] reconnecting with the feeling of being the age of the audience that comes to see [them]." That youthful spirit can be felt in the song's sonic world, as its production genre shifts between trip-hop and orchestral folk. Woods's inclusion is fitting given that American artists and the experience of touring throughout the States has made an indelible impression on Ginkgo. Most of Panchiko's fans reside in the States, a place they had little connection to before their virality. "We don't normally do a lot of shows in England, because nobody likes us there," jokes Wright. "We were too ahead of the time." Seeing the expanse of a foreign country brought out new sounds and textures for the crew. It's apt then that the album opener is titled "Florida." "I was playing around with some samples in the van whilst we were driving through Florida," remembers Davies of creating the track. "Writing on the road is cool because you don't have all the toys in your toy box. You're using what you got."  That makes sense given that "Florida" is marked by a diverse set of sounds and musical leaps, a vast landscape of guitar flourishes, and almost alien sonic textures. New places, a new generation of listeners, a whole new life — the shock of their circumstances often leads Panchiko to reflect on the youth they've lost since they recorded their high school demo. "We had to delete 'My Mortgage Repayments Are Going Up,'" laughs Wright, offering a sarcastic song title. And while they decidedly did not record an album about the tedium of adult living, they did make a record that truthfully reflects their grounded station in life. That was bolstered by the fact that Panchiko made the record largely at home in Nottingham. With that, the simple promises of home are evoked in every moment of the record, and on the cover — a picture of Wright's young daughter that she took herself. "She had just turned two at that point. She ran off with my phone and our album cover was done," Wright shares. Even though they paid an artist a hefty advance to make original artwork, they decided to forgo that art for the picture. It said it all. "It's pure," adds Davies. "It's not contrived in any way." The cover is an invitation to consider the expanse of Panchiko's experience, from adolescence and teenage artistry onward. The same wrenching honesty that attracted legions of fans to their teenage demos is the same truthful ethos that keeps them listening to new material. That full-hearted ethos may be most audible on the title track, "Ginkgo." On it, Davies sings "You command the leaves to fall/The Ginkgo bends at will." A rumination on the limits of control, collaboration, and fate, the song is an apt meditation for a band whose resurgence came about through a mix of luck, artistry, and then clear-eyed energy. They couldn't "command the leaves to fall" when they were teens trudging up the improbable hill of rock star success, and they still can't. But like the Ginkgo tree itself, their roots grow deep, which makes the going all the easier.

Two of the most electrifying live acts in music today are joining forces this summer. Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue and St. Paul & The Broken Bones have announced a special 2026 co-headlining run of summer dates, bringing their powerhouse performances to the West Coast this August. Featuring a stop at Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles on August 23, this run will see these two celebrated bands share the stage for a string of unforgettable nights, supported by special guest Tré Burt. Fans can expect an incredible night of music that spans from the intoxicating, high-energy New Orleans rock, funk, and jazz of Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue to the gripping, soul-stirring retro-soul and R&B of St. Paul & The Broken Bones. Together, these two will deliver one of the most dynamic and ecstatic live concert experiences of the summer. About St. Paul & The Broken Bones St. Paul & The Broken Bones are a powerhouse soul ensemble from Alabama known for their electrifying live shows and impassioned vocals. Formed in Birmingham in 2011, the band features Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone), and Amari Ansari (saxophone). Their new self-titled sixth album marks a creative renewal—melding the band’s adventurous spirit with a return to soulful, song-focused roots. Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and produced by Eg White (Adele, Celine Dion), the record blends psych-funk grooves, gospel-tinged ballads, and cinematic rock flourishes. Tracks like “Sushi and Coca-Cola” and “Going Back” reflect both personal introspection and the band’s deepened identity after a decade of evolution. St. Paul & The Broken Bones have shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo, and Black Pumas, and performed at major festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. Even Sir Elton John took notice, inviting them to perform at his Oscar party. Blending rock & roll, soul, R&B, and more, the band continues to captivate audiences around the world. About Trombone Shorty Born Troy Andrews, Trombone Shorty is the premier ambassador of New Orleans music, carrying the torch for Crescent City culture while propelling it into the 21st century. Getting his start earlier than most—performing at Jazz Fest with Bo Diddley at age four and leading his own brass band at six—Shorty has evolved into an undeniable star and explosive live performer. Today, he is a Grammy-winning artist who has played the 2025 Super Bowl, performed at the White House and Madison Square Garden, rocked major festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza, and collaborated with icons from Pharrell and Bruno Mars to Lenny Kravitz and the Foo Fighters. Deeply rooted in his community, he leads the Trombone Shorty Foundation, authors Caldecott Honor-winning children's books, and holds the hallowed final set at the New Orleans Jazz Fest. With acclaimed releases like his 2022 album Lifted and his 2025 Grammy-nominated collaboration Second Line Sunday, Shorty continues to bring his intoxicating blend of rock, funk, soul, and jazz to the world.

A pioneer across platforms, Tori Amos is a multiplatinum singer-songwriter, pianist and composer who is nominated for a GRAMMY for the soundtrack to her 2025 New York Times bestselling children’s book Tori and the Muses. Today, Tori is thrilled to announce her 18th studio album In Times of Dragons due out May 1 via Universal/Fontana. Revered for building a multifaceted and unifying career of work defined by fearless activism and otherworldly musicianship, the new collection continues this storytelling tradition through a dynamic cast of characters. It is a powerful journey of resilience and awakening where the pursuit of freedom meets forces that seek to control and silence. Tori shares, "In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’ in their usurpation of America.” Tori will support the album with an extensive 35-date U.S. summer tour, announced today, making stops in NYC, LA, Paso Robles, Chicago, Nashville, Boston, Austin, Philadelphia, and at the legendary Red Rocks amongst many more. The live shows will see Tori joined once again by longtime collaborators Jon Evans (MD and bass) and Ash Soan (drums) plus the addition of three backing singers - Liv Gibson, Deni Hlavinka and Hadley Kennary who will perform songs from In Times of Dragons alongside highlights from across her illustrious 35-year career, which has seen eight Grammy nominations and over 12 million global album sales. This will be preceded by her largest European tour for a decade, spanning 17 countries. Fans will have the opportunity to be part of an exclusive artist pre-sale via toriamos.com. The captivating In Times of Dragons album cover artwork is also revealed today, intricately created using a unique vintage process. Photographer Kasia Wozniak worked with direct paper positives using the RA-4 process, shooting everything on a large-format camera. Says Wozniak of the full Artwork "Each photograph was slowly composed, photographed, and processed. It felt magical to weave Tori’s work and vision with my own. We moved from photograph to photograph with an intuitive rhythm, aligned in every shot. The process became a kind of ritual". Speaking on the process of creating the album artwork Tori continues, "To work with Kasia and Stylist Karen Binns to bring the story and characters to life was a truly moving experience. Seeing our collaborations come to life, with them and the whole team will live with me forever". With In Times of Dragons, Tori once again brings together the political and the personal in a work which resonates with the urgency of modern times.

Highlights include shows at such historic venues as Vienna, VA’s Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts (July 16), two-night stands at Shipshewana, IN’s Blue Gate Performing Arts Center (June 9-10) and Bonner, MT’s KettleHouse Amphitheater (August 20-21), a three-night residency at Nashville, TN’s famed Ryman Auditorium (September 18-20), and one night at Paso Robles, California’s Vina Robles Amphitheatre (October 2). Tickets are available for Vina Robles Amphitheatre via Ticketmaster, beginning Friday, December 12 at 10AM (local). Support on most dates comes from Theo Lawrence, with The Cox Family appearing as special guests at Shreveport, Louisiana’s Shreveport Municipal Auditorium on April 29. In addition, Alison Krauss & Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas are set for a number of top-billed festival appearances, including Wilkesboro, NC’s MerleFest (April 26) and Cumberland, MD’s DelFest (May 24). The upcoming dates follow Alison Krauss & Union Station’s hugely successful Arcadia 2025 Tour, a sold-out headline run that marked the legendary group’s first tour together in over a decade. The marathon tour – which saw the live debut of award-winning vocalist and guitarist Russell Moore among the esteemed ranks of Union Station – was met by critical applause across the United States and Canada, with The Dallas Observer declaring, “Alison Krauss and Union Station provided an embarrassment of riches… (their) performance was simply a peerless collection of artists doing what they do best, conjuring an alchemy so transporting that time almost becomes irrelevant.” The Arcadia 2025 Tour celebrated the arrival of Alison Krauss & Union Station’s eighth studio LP and first new release in over 14 years, Arcadia, available everywhere now via Down The Road Records. Self-produced by Alison Krauss & Union Station, the album collects ten new songs that transcend time, reveal beautiful and tragic truths, and serve as contemporary reflections of history, penned by Robert Lee Castleman, Viktor Krauss, Jeremy Lister, Bob Lucas, JD McPherson, Sarah Siskind, and other modern masters. With new member Russell Moore – frontman for the chart-topping group IIIrd Tyme Out and the International Bluegrass Music Association’s most awarded male vocalist of all time – on co-lead vocals, guitar, and mandolin, Krauss (fiddle, lead vocal), Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar, vocals), and Barry Bales (bass, vocals) once again bring their extraordinary individual talents together into a singularly unstoppable force. Highlighted by songs like “Looks Like the End of the Road” and “Granite Mills,” Arcadia further expands the immaculately crafted, endlessly surprising sound that Alison Krauss & Union Station have long been known and loved for, reaffirming why the group remains one of the most influential, widely celebrated acts of the past four decades. Arcadia – which like its 2011 predecessor, Paper Airplane, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Top Bluegrass Albums” chart upon its March release – was greeted with worldwide critical praise along with three 2026 GRAMMY® Award nominations for Best Bluegrass Album, Best American Roots Performance (honoring the standout track, “Richmond on the James”), and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. “Arcadia reconvenes and reconfigures a band that has transformed the sound of modern bluegrass by constantly drawing new subtleties from old-time roots,” wrote the New York Times. “Union Station can easily muster the quick-fingered virtuosity required for upbeat, foot-stomping bluegrass tunes that punctuate its albums and live sets. But what makes the band so distinctive is its quietly incandescent restraint: the hushed concentration it summons behind Krauss’s pristinely melancholy soprano, which can sound haunted even when she sings about true love.” “As ever, the sonic palette is richly clean, the harmonies stacked, and Jerry Douglas’s Dobro an empathetic, keening presence in constant dialogue with the singers,” declared MOJO in its four-starred rave. “(Krauss’s) plaintive, crystalline soprano alternating songs with Moore’s high lonesome tenor evokes what D.H. Lawrence memorably called ‘the essential American soul… hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer.’” In addition, Alison Krauss & Union Station recently sat down with CBS News’ Anthony Mason for an exclusive CBS Mornings feature interview discussing Arcadia, their long-awaited reunion, and more (streaming HERE).

ABOUT JON CLEARY After thirty-five years of being at the forefront of the ever-evolving musical landscape of New Orleans, Grammy Award winner Jon Cleary is still pushing the boundaries of that funky sound. His critically acclaimed latest LP, The Bywater Sessions, is lauded as a “roiling, multicultural stew that could disjoint hips” (No Depression) and “the best record of Cleary’s career” (OffBeat). From a lifetime of musicianship that’s seen him perform with luminaries like Dr. John and Taj Mahal to what can now only be described as a never ending world tour, Cleary continues to bring the spirit of New Orleans to a new generation, all over the globe.
