Dave Matthews Band Announces 2022 Tour With Shows at SPAC, Jones Beach and Bethel Woods

Dave Matthews Band has announced its 2022 North American summer tour, with over 40 dates including Jones Beach, Bethel Woods and a two night stand at the SPAC in Saratoga Springs.

Over the years, Dave Matthews Band has contributed to many charity and fundraising campaigns, including the Nature Conservancy’s “Plant a Billion Trees” campaign, and more. This year, they will be partnering with Reverb to neutralize carbon emissions associated with band and fan travel. This work will ensure a climate positive tour, and minimize their environmental footprint.

Concertgoers can also contribute to the Nature Conservancy’s efforts by adding an optional $2 to their concert ticket purchase. This contribution will lead to the planting of more trees by the Nature Conservancy. For more information, visit DMB Trees.

On Friday evenings during the tour, fans will be able to tune into DMB radio on SiriusXM–Channel 30. The channel will be broadcasting the group’s “Friday Night Concert Series” each week.

Ticket presale is available for DMB Warehouse Fan Association members and Citi cardmembers. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on February 25th at 10 AM.

Everyone Orchestra to Perform at Brooklyn Bowl with members of moe., TAB, Gov’t Mule and more

Everyone Orchestra and conductor Matt Butler are celebrating 20 years of improvisation with a three show run in February, including a stop at Brooklyn Bowl Williamsburg.

Three Everyone Orchestra shows are on tap for the weekend run, with shows at Ardmore, PA’s Ardmore Music Hall on February 24, Brooklyn Bowl on February 25 and Cambridge, MA’s The Sinclair on February 26. The lineups for each show are listed below:

February 24, Ardmore Music Hall, Ardmore, PA
Everyone Orchestra, conducted by Matt Butler ft. Rob Derhak (Moe.), Al Schnier (Moe.), Michael Travis (The String Cheese Incident), Aron Magner (Disco Biscuits) & Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band)

February 25, Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn, NY
Conducted by Matt Butler and featuring Al Schnier (moe.), Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band), Rob Derhak (moe.), Michael Travis (The String Cheese Incident), & Danny Louis (Gov’t Mule)

February 26, The Sinclair, Cambridge, MA
Conducted by Matt Butler and featuring Al Schnier (moe.), Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band), Rob Derhak (moe.), Michael Travis (The String Cheese Incident), & Danny Louis (Gov’t Mule)

In late December 2021, Butler released a 16 minute virtual opus, featuring contributions from 70+ musicians of the project’s past performers into one epic song and music video. Co-produced by longtime creative partner Todd Kushner, the mega-collaboration entitled “Heart Full of Love” is a video tapestry masterpiece highlighting dozens of fan-favorite players from our current music scene.

In January of 2021, Everyone Orchestra turned 20 years old. In my mind, I had planned an epic celebration, bringing together many musicians from all over the globe to celebrate this amazing project that has brought so much light and love throughout the years. Obviously, the pandemic has dealt us card after card, and we keep losing the hand. So I decided to contact as many EO alumni as possible and ask them to participate in a virtual version of the celebration idea I concocted with Zach Gill at the song writing helm and Todd Kushnir managing video and audio production, titled “Heart Full of Love”.

Along with the video release, Everyone Orchestra is offering a free NFT for “Heart Full of Love” that is also an augmented reality Instagram or Facebook filter, and fans interested in the NFT offering can fill out a form here.

Lovechild’s Powerhouse debut album ‘All you need is Lovechild’ out now

Born and bred New York City rock ‘n’ roll band Lovechild released their self-produced nine-track powerhouse album, ‘All You Need Is Lovechild.’

Inspiration behind the album comes from frontman Leo Lovechild’s life in and around New York City with twin brothers Aaron Mones (guitarist) and Wyatt Mones (multi-instrumentalist and producer). A multitude of influences like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Father John Misty were incorporated for Lovechild to add a twist and create their unique music for this album.

The delivery of the album took years of work delving into the craft of writing to produce rock and roll music in the modern age. Welding crashing piano keys with boisterous guitars and a confident rhythm are portrayed in the heart of the songs. The clever lyrical lines come from Leo’s poetry degree which diversified the albums songs from various angles of romantic, angry, and wistful.

“Our goal for this record was always to make a classic rock and roll album in the modern age, not a “classic rock” album, but a “classic” rock and roll album, one that pushes the genre into the future as much as it represents the sound of a reinterpreted past.”
Leo Lovechild

The band shares a short documentary “Driving With Leo” filmed by Jack Tumen which dives deeper into the life of Leo Lovechild and their debut album. Personal ups and downs of Leo Lovechild’s life and the struggle to find hope are felt in the emotionality of the vocal performances, tensions of guitar playing, and the thoughtfulness production.

The Bogie Band, featuring Joe Russo, Release New Album

A new collaboration release from The Bogie Band features Joe Russo on their newest single ‘The Prophets In The City’ with old friend Stuart Bogie. The upcoming album is named after their latest new single and is set to release March 25th.

The nine songs within the new album ‘The Prophets In The City’ paints an image to the listeners from crowded streets to characters that carry mysteries and truths in their hearts. Joe Russo’s dynamic drumming and Stuart Bogie’s tenor saxophone playing are joined together to showcase only wind and percussion instruments on the album that push the boundaries of wind music.

Stuart Bogie & Joe Russo

Beloved bands such as Antibalas, The Dap-Kings, Red Barat, Budos Band, St. Vincent and David Byrne’s American Utopia from New York City come together to become the supporting cast of musicians.

The Bogie Band debut was at the Winter Jazzfest back in 2020. The summer of 2021 the group performed at their most beloved club, NuBlu where they sold out the entire show just before the Newport Jazz Festival. The JazzTimes praised the mesmerizing waves of harmony and rhythm that was shown throughout the performance.

“The music we’ve created here revels in the human mysteries that unfold in New York City, basking in its connections, ironies, and myths,” explains Bogie. “Through observing its humanity, we hope to invoke the underlying world of the spirits.”

Off the upcoming album will follow two release shows on March 24th at Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia and March 26th at Brooklyn Bowl Williamsburg. Tickets go on sale this Friday January 21st at 12pm ET.

Annie in the Water Announce Winter Tour Dates, New Album due in March

Annie in the Water have announced a slate of winter tour dates, ahead of the release of their forthcoming studio album, Sun at Dawn, set to be released Friday, March 4th.

Artwork by Tony Campono, based on a photograph taken by Matt Richards at dawn on Going To The Sun Road at Glacier National Park.

Recorded directly to tape at Artfarm Recording in the heart of the Hudson Valley and mixed by Corey Hayward, Sun at Dawn represents the band’s time spent independently at home, together in the Adirondacks, and on the road again with their fans.

Our forthcoming album Sun at Dawn represents the paths we took in life as individuals and how it brought us together in the band. The album consists of songs that were written along these separate life experiences and are joined by songs that were written together as a band. The sun at dawn illustrates that this is just the beginning of our adventures musically and as friends.

We have a lot planned for 2022. Beyond releasing our newest album we are lining up bigger tours than we have had in recent years. Not only that, but we have also began writing more new material after the recording process of the upcoming album ended. We are fully prepared to hit the ground running when the music scene begins to boom again and we can’t wait to show everyone everything we have been working on!…
Matt Richards, Annie in the Water keys

Annie in the Water’s sound has a groove filled combo of reggae, funk, rock, blues and jam, written with a conscious dose of positive vibes, unique melodies and intelligent lyrics. The group has the ability to fill an entire night with original music and also render well-known covers in their signature style, giving fans extraordinary experiences to share that can’t be seen anywhere else.

Comprised of members Brad Hester (Lead Vocals/Rhythm), Michael Lashomb (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Ryan Trumbull (Drums/Vocals), Chris Meier (Bass/Vocals), Matt Richards (Keys/Vocals) and Brock Kuca (Percussion/Vocals), each performance is another adventure, both exhilarating and everlasting. The group creates a blend of music and entertainment that is inspired by the audience and the moment; the fan-base grows with every single performance in large part due to the indisputable fact that Annie in the Water will make people dance and feel happier no matter their age.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKxG7B35Btg

The Super 20 Marks Their Debut With Single ‘The Good Life’

New York hornsman Lee Hamilton recruited sensational artists to create the group The Super 20. The curation of this group is marked by the January 7 release of their debut single ‘The Good Life.’ Their debut album, Winds of Wareika, is scheduled to come out in the spring on Color Red.

The group consists of performers that have worked along side artists like Chicago Jazz Underground, Debo Band and Jeff Parker. While still having their own sound, inspiration is pulled from greats such as Rico Rodriguez, Tommy McCook and Quantic. Hamilton personally cites literature as another source of inspiration, with Paulo Coelho’s book “The Alchemist.”

The album is a collaborative effort between Hamilton and renowned producer and engineer, Craig Welsch at Rear Window Studio in Boston. Welsch is cited as a “crucial piece of the puzzle” when it came down to exactly how the ideas of this single would come to fruition.

The two started collaborating in the early days of John Brown’s Body with Hamilton forming the horn section and Welsh serving as the band’s sound engineer. The two share a common idea of what “feels good” about creating music.

Lee Hamilton on tenor saxophone

The Good Life’s sound is something that tries to transcend genres. The track’s ideas of optimism and positivity towards the future blend perfectly with the reggae and afrobeat inspiration, as the horns keep you captivated.

Hamilton’s saxophone provides a strong base for the entire song and it’s easy to see just how well his curation of this group worked out.
