This Blues Supergroup Thrilled The Wilbur
The Rides is a type of band commonly known as a supergroup. Composed of Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Still & Nash, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Manassas), Kenny Wayne Shepherd (Kenny Wayne Shepherd band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience tours), and Barry Goldberg (The Electric Flag, Steve Miller Band), the trio first got together three years ago to record an album and tour in support of the album.

Fabulous Americana Triple-Header At The Sinclair
Two of my favorite bands to see live – Darlingside and David Wax Museum – along with an artist who was new to me, Anthony D’Amato, played a marvelous show to a sold-out crowd in March at The Sinclair. I was fortunate to be in the house that night and witness the reaction of people who had seen only one of the co-headliners when they saw the other co-headliner! Both bands got many new fans that evening.

Soulful Blues? Bluesy Soul?
The fabulous Canadian blues artist Matt Andersen made his way south of the border for a tour supporting his most recent release, Honest Man, and I was fortunate to be able to see not one but two of his shows! This Extended Play Sessions show was the second of those shows, and by now I knew his new album very well.

Why Did I Not Think Of This???
Music and food is a perfect combination of sensual pleasures, and how better to honor that relationship but to create an album of songs related to food!
Music Maker Relief Foundation and chef Bill Smith have partnered together to compile the new compilation Biscuits For Your Outside Man to be released June 22 on the Music Maker label. It features one previously unreleased song out of 17 tracks.

New Music For Your Ears
Recently I was introduced to two bands in the Americana genre and I believe both are worthy of your attention and support.
Join Us For A Blues/Soul Extravaganza At The Extended Play Sessions
The Fallout Shelter at The Extended Play Sessions is pleased that blues artist John Nemeth is returning to the studio on Sunday, May 15th. I saw John at a different venue a couple of years ago (it was before I was introduced to The Extended Play Sessions) and loved the show.
Last Addition To The Lowell Summer Music Series Lineup
It’s Lowell night at the Lowell Summer Music Series on June 25th! Lowell-born Gary Hoey and his band, with Charlie Farren as the opener, will be on the stage that evening.
What A Set Of Pipes!
I saw Shemekia Copeland about nine years ago, opening for the late great Koko Taylor, and have been waiting for the chance to see her again. My patience was rewarded with the perfect seat at a stellar show at Regattabar last month.
