Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.
The Eagles

In celebration of the 30 Anniversary of the defining album of the ’90s, the Last Splash, the Breeders have remastered the album and shared the previously unreleased track for the album, “Go Man Go.” In addition, the band will be starting their 2023 tour in September, featuring a stop at Kings Theater in Brooklyn.
The Last Splash is an alternative rock classic, achieving platinum status in both the United Kingdom and the United States. It is ranked in Pitchfork’s Top 100 Records of the 1990s. The album was recorded by what is considered the “classic” Breeders lineup, including Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs, and Jim Macpherson.
The remaster uses the thought-lost original analog tapes and has been titled Last Splash (the 30th Anniversary Original Analog Edition). Finding these tapes also uncovered two unreleased tracks, of which “Go Man Go” was shared. “Go Man Go” has also been supported with a new music video, directed by Brandon Weaver of Ironwing Studios. Depending on the specific show, the Breeders will be playing alongside Foo Fighters, Belly (which was formed by original Breeder member Tanya Donelly), Screaming Females, and Horsegirl. The show in Brooklyn will feature Screaming Females.

Victor Wooten and The Wooten Brothers have expanded their forthcoming tour into November, adding ten stops to an already jam-packed fall lineup. The group, which features lifelong collaborators and real-life brothers Victor, Joseph, Roy “Futureman,” and Regi Wooten, recently announced its highly anticipated reunion tour, making stops in NY cities including Troy, Buffalo, and Brooklyn.
Lauded by Rolling Stone as one of the “Top 10 Bassists of All Time,” Victor Wooten has captivated audiences for over four decades with his dynamic stage presence and unparalleled technical chops. Wooten’s eclectic repertoire includes collaborations with the likes of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones (of which he is a founding member), Chick Corea, Dave Matthews Band, India Arie, Keb’ Mo’, and more recently, Cory Wong. Widely regarded as one of the greatest living bassists today, Wooten continues to share his passion for music through numerous modalities. The multidisciplinary artist has authored two books and has mentored thousands of students at his own Center for Music and Nature since the year 2000.
Remarkably accomplished in their own right, each of the Wooten brothers bring a unique flavor to the live experience. Joseph Wooten, also known as the “Hands of Soul,” has been the keyboardist/vocalist for the Steve Miller Band since 1993. He is a renowned composer, arranger, author, and motivational speaker whose collaborations include work with Whitney Houston, George Clinton, and Kenny G.
Roy “Futureman” Wooten is also a founding member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones and a five-time GRAMMY award winner, famously known for his trademark inventions the “Drumitar” and the “RoyEI” keyboard. A philosopher, researcher, filmmaker, and educator, Roy’s impressive solo career, symphonic works, and “Black Mozart” projects span the genres of classical, jazz, soul, gospel, and spoken word.
Regi Wooten’s signature guitar style of chording, slapping, tapping, and virtuosic strumming has earned him worldwide notoriety and comparisons to Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Chuck Berry. In recent years, Regi has performed with many artists including the legendary Ginger Baker. Known worldwide as “The Teacha,” Regi currently teaches music in Nashville, TN, and has taught many notable musicians.
Together The Wooten Brothers bring an uncanny level of experience, originality, and expertise to the stage. Playing together since childhood, the formidable group has shared stages with the likes of Curtis Mayfield, The Temptations, Ramsey Lewis, Stephanie Mills, War, and others. Fans can expect an infectious, colorful, and exuberant production that showcases The Wooten Brothers’ impenetrable creative chemistry. An amalgam of original songs and choice classics, each show offers a one-of-a-kind adventure that defies the bounds of jazz, funk, soul, R&B, rock, and bluegrass.
On the forthcoming tour, Victor shares, “Being in a band with my brothers is the best thing for me. It’s like a family reunion every time we get together to play. They are my teachers and I feel most at home with them.”This will be the brothers’ first tour together as a band since the untimely death of their saxophone-playing brother Rudy a few years ago. In the forthcoming year, The Wooten Brothers will release their first studio album in several decades.
The music we are working on at the moment is a collection of new and old. We have songs that were recorded decades ago that have never been heard by anyone. We also have newer music that was recorded over the last year. It will be a nice collection of old and new. With the older music, we want to introduce the world to Rudy, our saxophone-playing brother who passed away in 2010. Be prepared to have your mind blown.

As a part of her “Scarlet Tour” across North America, Grammy award-winning star Doja Cat will stop at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Nov. 29 with special guest and Bronx native Ice Spice. This coincides with the recent release of Doja Cat’s new track “Attention,” to critical acclaim.
With a start on Soundcloud at the age of 16 in 2013, Doja Cat first was catapulted into the mainstream through the release of “MOOO!” in 2018. One of her most popular tracks to date is the Grammy-nominated record “Say So” which has been RIAA certified 6x platinum. Doja Cat has over 20 billion worldwide streams to date.
Recently, Doja Cat was named one of TIME100’s Most Influential People of 2023, featured on the cover issue in April 2023, and performed at the TIME100 Gala in New York City. The artist has a total of 16 Grammy Award nominations, as well as nominations for 20 Billboard Music Awards, 10 MTV VMAs, nine AMAs, nine BET Awards, eight MTV EMAs, and 5 BMI Awards alongside dozens more.

Blanket Approval, an indie pop rock band out of NYC, is stopping in three NY destinations, Albany, Pleasantville, and NYC for its “Happy Alone Tour” this summer. A fourth destination in NY may be possible, but it has yet to be determined. This coincides with the release of their new single “Happy Alone, Pt. II.”
“Born out of the ashes of the pandemic,” Blanket Approval began to form when singer/guitarist Jack Matteucci moved to Brooklyn in 2021 and met drummer Joey Hadden. From there, they met bassist Max Mena and guitarist/keyboardist Rahul Chakraborty. Blanket Approval began rehearsing and recording in January 2022.
They had their live debut at Union Pool in Brooklyn in Spring 2022, going on to 200,000 streams on Spotify in less than 8 months, and featuring in Spotify’s Fresh Finds Indie. In 2023, they plan to release a summer EP.
Blanket Approval’s new single “Happy Alone Part II” builds from a calm, chill opening to powerful harmonies with many of the band’s members and swelling music. Chakraborty’s keyboards, which open the song and carry on throughout the piece give the song a nice echoing beat throughout.
A personal favorite part of the song are the little crescendos, which often occur after the many vocal solos of the “Happy Alone Part II,” a feature fitting given the name. The pause in the instrumentals before these provides a brief return to the more cool opening of the song before returning with the explosive clamor of the instrumentals.
Upcoming Happy Alone Tour Dates
Albany, NY – June 30
Greenfield, MA – July 1
Pleasantville, NY – July 2
Boston, MA – July 3
Burlington, VT – July 5
TBD Upstate NY, VT, NH – July 6
