Grammy-nominated duo The Milk Carton Kids were among the multitude of hosts at the Americana Music Awards in Nashville on September 20th. In addition to their co-hosting duties, the duo took the stage alongside Noah Kahan for a cover of Paul Simon’s “American Tune.”
Formed in 2011, The Milk Carton Kids are an American folk duo hailing from California. Nominated for Best Folk Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards, the group’s new record I Only See The Moon released this past May on LA-based ANTI- Records.
Noah Kahan, the New-England native singer-songwriter, rose to global fame with the release of his third full-length album, Stick Season. Taking the stage with The Milk Carton Kids, he and the duo offered smooth vocals against a lone acoustic guitar.
The Milk Carton Kids are set to embark on a US tour this fall, stopping at Kingston’s Broadway Theatre at UPAC, as well as New York City’s Beacon Theatre. Both New York dates will be in support of fellow folk artist Gregory Alan Isakov.

Bruce Brubaker has announced his upcoming album, Eno Piano, coming out November 10, where he explores the complex genre of ambient music with the goal of creating an album full of songs that make airport music desirable, with inspiration from Brian Eno’s Music for Airports.
Brubaker’s album, Eno Piano, started in 2017 with the question: “With all those sustained notes in the music– can Brian Eno’s Music for Airports be played on a piano?” Brubaker heard jazz pianist Evan Allen experiment with an EBow inside a piano (an EBow is an electromagnetic device used to make long notes by vibrating a string on an electric guitar). Then, Bruce met Florent Colautti, the French inventor who was developing electro-magnetic devices suspended over the strings inside a piano to make long musical tones.
Bruce Brubaker makes connections to music old and new through his explorations of minimalism. In his album Codex, there was a dialogue between open-form music by Terry Riley and very early keyboard pieces written by anonymous scribes in the 15th century. Brubaker’s performances of music by Philip Glass glorified by his album Glass Piano on InFiné, caused critic Roland Duclos to write: “Brubaker is to Glass what Glenn Gould is to Bach.”
Brian Eno’s “Ambient 1: Music for Airports” is known as the greatest ambient composition of all time. Within the guidelines of Bruce Brubaker’s Eno Piano, the album’s definitive track “Airport 2.1” is recontextualized as a piece created for a single instrument.
Brian Eno’s music is a significant part of the repetition-based musical minimalism practiced by Philip Glass, Terry Riley, and others in the 20th century. In 1971, Philip Glass performed at the Royal College of Art in London. In the audience were two 23-year-olds: David Bowie and Brian Eno. Glass’s music was a formative influence on Eno. Later, Philip Glass wrote three symphonies based on the three albums of Eno and Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy. Eno Piano, from which the new track is taken, acknowledges a deep artistic bond.
Brian Eno defined the new genre of ‘ambient music.’ Spending hours waiting for a flight at the Cologne-Bonn Airport, Eno became frustrated with the airport’s uninspiring atmosphere. At that moment, Eno conceived an album of music “designed for airports.”
Whereas conventional background music is produced by stripping away all sense of doubt and uncertainty (and thus all genuine interest) from the music, Ambient Music retains these qualities. And whereas their intention is to ‘brighten’ the environment by adding stimulus to it (thus supposedly alleviating the tedium of routine tasks and leveling out the natural ups and downs of the body rhythms) Ambient Music is intended to induce calm and a space to think. Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.
Brian Eno, in his original 1978 liner notes
Eno Piano is the music of Eno, with the contributions of Rhett Davies, Robert Wyatt, Dieter Moebius, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Harold Budd, Jon Hopkins, and Leo Abrahams.
Eno Piano will be released on November 10, 2023. Pre-order the album here.
John Legend, the 12-time Grammy award-winning artist performed at Tanglewood at the Koussevitzky Music Shed in Lenox, MA on Sunday, Sept. 3. This was a highly anticipated and long-awaited performance for local fans as well as those who traveled to the Berkshires during Labor Day weekend.
Fans arrived right on time to find their seats in the covered area of the Shed, while the lawn was filling up fast, finding their perfect spots to enjoy the evening. Everyone was bustling about with preconcert energy. Families gathering, friends visiting, and people exploring the beautiful grounds of Tanglewood.
The show began at 7 pm. Taking the stage, John appeared in a light-colored suit smiling as he made his way to the piano ready to share his story and music.
He started his story from the beginning. Formally introducing himself with his birth name, where he was from, his childhood, and through the years. He played well-known songs such as “All of Me,” “Stay with You,” “Wonder Woman,” and many others during the evening. His stories give an inspiring insight into his life and music.
“An Evening with John Legend” is exactly what this concert experience is – a wonderful evening indeed.

On Thursday, August 31, Jackson Browne and his band performed at the Koussevitzky Music Shed in Lenox, Massachusetts, performing as part of Tanglewood’s 2023 Popular Artist Series.
With the ring of the shed bell, the show began promptly at 7pm. Jackson, taking to the stage solo with one of his many guitars that he would use through the night, performed “Don’t Let Us Get Sick”, a Warren Zevon cover, before motioning for his band to join him on stage.
The evening was filled with a stellar setlist, fantastic vocals and an outstanding instrumental performance. Jackson shared stories that inspired the songs that were played. The night was filled with many well-known hits such as, “Somebody’s Baby”, “Doctor my Eyes” and, “Running on Empty” to name a few.
While they kept to their planned setlist, they did play the audience’s request of “Lawyers, Guns and Money” during the 2nd set. The audience was filled with people of all ages having a great time dancing and singing along throughout the evening.

Six years after the fateful Curveball, Phish will once again host a summer music festival, this time in Dover, Delaware, on the grounds of Firefly Music Festival.
The news was broken on social media today, with a Save the Date for August 15-18, 2024.
The announcement – nearly 11 months before the event kicks off, included the following message:
“Save the Date for the next Phish festival! August 15-18, 2024 at The Woodlands in Dover, Delaware. More info about tickets, camping, Glen Close and travel packages coming later this fall. Make sure you’re signed up for the Phish Update to hear about it first (via email + our shiny new SMS list). Sign up at phish.com/update.”
Phish last held a festival in 2015 with Magnaball in Watkins Glen, their 11th overall music festival. Curveball in 2018 was cancelled just before the musics started, due to water supply issues, leaving many fans wondering if a Phish festival would ever return to Watkins Glen, or anywhere else. Today, Phish fans can rest assured as they plan for a unique music festival experience, featuring only Phish as well as plenty of unexpected surprises, art installations, and much more. Stay tuned for updates on Phish’s first shows in Delaware since 1994.
Splitting the bill on a 23-date trek of North America which commenced in the Pacific Northwest in early August, dubbed the Summer Odyssey Tour, indie-rock heavyweight Beck and French pop rockers Phoenix descended upon the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, CT this past Wednesday evening, September 6.

No strangers to one another, Beck joined Phoenix during their Los Angeles residency at the Fonda Theater in 2018, performing the tracks “Lost Cause” (Sea Change, 2002) and “Jack-Ass” (Odelay, 1996). And this past June, the two artists joined forces on a new single titled “Odyssey,” with vocals from both Beck and Phoenix’s lead singer Thomas Mars. Prior to the collaboration, Phoenix released Alpha Zulu (Glassnote Records) in November of last year (their seventh studio album), while Beck most recently issued his fourteenth studio album Hyperspace (Capitol Records) in 2019.

On a late afternoon filled with sweltering heat, the festivities kicked off promptly at 5:45 pm as the first of two opening acts, Sir Chloe, took to the boutique amphitheater stage nestled along the Long Island Sound waterfront. Despite the early start time on hump day, the quintet hailing from Bennington, VT, led by frontwoman Dana Foote, had amassed a strong contingent of die-hard fans along the steel barricade of the general admission floor area. Although their set was over all too quickly, the collection of young alt-rock musicians (rounded out by Foote’s brother Palmer, Teddy O’Mara, Emma Welch and Austin Holmes) made the most of their allotted 25-minutes while braving 90+ degree temperatures – particularly that of Foote, who rarely stood still.

As the picturesque, 6,000-capacity venue that opened in July 2021 continued to fill up with fans of all ages, Natalie Laura Mering, professionally known as Weyes Blood (pronounced Wize Blood), was next up to perform support duties on behalf of Beck and Phoenix. Born in Santa Monica, CA and raised in Doylestown, PA, Mering is touring in support of her fifth studio album, And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow (Sub Pop), released in late-2022. A talented artist whose musical catalog crosses several genres – chamber pop, indie pop, folk rock, noise music and experiment rock – Mering sported an elegant, off-white dress with a flowing cape while backed by a guitarist, bassist, drummer and keyboardist. Her set piece was decorated with numerous candelabras perfectly matching the romantic tone of her glorious, nearly 45-minute long set.

The sun having mercifully set and temperatures finally bearable beneath the amphitheater’s massive canopy, co-headliner Phoenix entered stage left at 7:40 pm to a raucous ovation from the packed house. With a history dating to 1995, when Phoenix started releasing synth pop singles which were later featured in their debut album United (Rhino/Parlophone) released in 2000, the band has remained unchanged since their formation, comprised of the aforementioned Mars, Deck d’Arcy (bass, keyboards), Christian Mazzalai (guitar) and Laurent Brancowitz (guitar, keyboards). In Bridgeport, the French band was rounded out with touring musicians Thomas Hedlund (drummer) and Robin Coudert (keyboards, percussion).
With a stage backdrop of stunning visuals continually plastered across a jumbotron video wall, Phoenix offered up an 18-song set spread across five albums in their discography, with the most presentations (eight in total) coming from their 2009 studio album, and fourth overall, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (V2 Records). Mars and his bandmates transformed The Amp with the lushness and beauty of their arrangements, exquisitely balancing swirling guitars and synthesizers on songs such as “Lisztomania,” “Too Young” and “Love Like a Sunset, Pt. 1,” with its guitar ostinatos and driving percussion.

As the set turned for the homestretch, the beloved group from Versailles gifted their fans “Funky Squaredance,” with its country-inspired slide guitar couple with bluesey-funk and “Winter Solstice,” a tune drenched in vocal distortion and building synths. Before Phoenix’s night closed with “1901,” the tune which propelled the band to immense popularity and recognition, the charismatic Mars thrilled his fans by leaving the stage for a journey into the crowd, making his way to the rear of the venue, and back again. He paused several times along his route, interacting with ecstatic souls who would no doubt remember this night forever.
If Phoenix weren’t enough to satisfy your indie rock taste buds, there was still one headliner left – Mr. Beck David Hansen of Los Angeles, CA – who if you don’t know, rose to fame in the early-1990s after living in a rat-infested shed and dead broke. Armed with a Silvertone 1448 guitar made of particle board that he bought from the Sears catalog, the lo-fi, art pop musician guru would never look back as he released album after album to critical acclaim, beginning with the breakthrough single and worldwide hit “Loser” from 1994’s Mellow Gold.
Appearing onstage with musicians that have contributed to his success in one way or another during the span of his 35-year career, Beck’s set got underway at 9:40 pm with “Devils Haircut,” lifted from his fifth studio album Odelay (DGC Records) released in 1996. Beck would later bequeath upon his faithful listeners two more incredibly successful singles from said album including “The New Pollution,” and the final number of the set, “Where It’s At,” a tune during which he would be accompanied onstage by Phoenix, Weyes Blood and Sir Chloe for an epic party atmosphere conclusion, complete with a conga line.

The crowd already in a fervor from the jump, a performance of the humorous ode to a girl named “Debra” from Beck’s seventh studio album released in 1999, Midnite Vultures (DGC Records) at the half-way point put us all over the top. Hilariously improvising his signature falsetto lyrics as the soul R&B-ballad pastiche went along – about meeting a girl named Jenny who works at JCPenney and who had a sister named Debra that Beck wanted to ‘get with’ – I had to reproduce some of them here:
I just wanted to do something nice for her, to show her how much I cared. So, I went down to Bed Bath & Beyond. And I went straight to the back, to the beyond section. And in the beyond section, there’s a little door. That’s where they keep all the potpourri and the scented candles and the apricot exfoliator. I bought all that shit. And I loaded it up in the car. And I drove down to the shopping center where she works. And I came to surprise her after work on a Wednesday night. I said “Lady, step inside my Hyundai.”

The hits kept coming, including “Gamma Ray” and “Chemtrails” from 2008’s Modern Guilt (DGC Records/XL Recordings), “Lost Cause” from 2002’s Sea Change (Geffen), and of course a duet execution of “Odyssey” with Mars reappearing to contribute his share of the vocals. As the clock struck 11:00 pm and the show neared its denouement – having showcased more than two decades of material traversing eight albums (from Stereopathetic Soulmanure released 1994 via Flipside Records to Colors released in 2017 via Fonograf Records) – the summer party was officially over, and I was glad to have been invited. The Summer Odyssey Tour wraps on September 10 with an outdoor gig at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.

Josh Schwartz, well known in the jam scene as the tall baritone saxophone player and occasional singer from Turkuaz and Cool Cool Cool, has announced his solo project, JOSCH. Pronounced like his first name, JOSCH debuts with his soulful debut single, “Icarus In Motion.”
“Icarus in Motion” features Schwartz alone on all vocals and instruments, with the entire track his brainchild. With pre-production support from producer/songwriter Rob O’Block, Schwartz makes a grand entrance as a solo performer, channeling the likes of James Blake and Hosier.
A modern day reimagining of the ancient Greek myth of Icarus – who ignored his father’s warning and flew too close to the sun, melting the wax that held his wings together and plummeting him to his death into the ocean – Schwartz was inspired by “The Power of Myth” by Joseph Campbell, and spoke to NYS Music, sharing deeper insight into the lyrics of the track.
The lyrics are basically a modern-day retelling of the classic Icarus myth. I was partially inspired by Trump’s rise and (hopefully eventual) fall. The character in the song supposedly pulled himself up by his bootstraps (“You come from such humble beginnings/rough hands and dirty shoes/stranger to silver spoons”) but similarly to how some people in this country seem to think Trump did that, the details often tell a different origin story.
I was also envisioning the main character, Patrick Bateman, from American Psycho and typical Wall Street bros in general. I grew up with and went to college with lots of those types and was always amazed at the degree of materialism they had.
With the legend of Icarus taking on a deeper meaning, JOSCH presents “Icarus in Motion” has a departure from the high-energy power funk that Josh Schwartz is known to deliver on stage. “This song and the other tunes I have ready under JOSCH are more in the vein of electro-pop. Lots of synths, lots of emotions. If you’re expecting horn-driven funk, you’re certainly in for a surprise!”
Over hard-hitting drums and droning bass, behind-the-beat vocals on “Icarus” sing of a man with a hard upbringing (“rough hands and dirty shoes/stranger to silver spoons”) who rises to great financial success (“you soar on guilded wings/keep score with gods and kings”); in the process, he becomes addicted to and obsessed with the material goods and pleasures he can now afford (“hungrily grasp for more/the endless spoils of war”). Will the man in the song succumb to his own hubris and greed or will he realize the folly of his ways and get a grip on his dangerous habits? You’ll just have to listen to find out.
JOSCH is available on all streaming platforms now. Listen on Spotify.
In addition to the single, JOSCH will release an accompanying music video shortly after. Shot on 8mm film and directed by longtime collaborator Dani Barbieri of Two Truths Production, the video brings the imagery of Schwartz’s lyrics to life.
“Icarus in Motion” Lyrics
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you’re about to fall
Icarus in motion
You come from such humble beginnings
Rough hands and dirty shoes
Stranger to silver spoons
And now you’re drowning in your winnings
You soar on gilded wings
Keep score with gods and kings
No time for self-reflection
When striving for perfection
Ambition suits you like the labels that you wear
(Labels that you wear)
On the way up, it’s all so thrilling
‘Til you remember nothing is under you but air
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you’re about to fall
Icarus in motion
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you’re about to fall
Icarus in motion
The universe just keeps on giving
Hungrily grasp for more
The endless spoils of war
They say that life is for the living
You’ve burned through twenty lives
Almost as many wives
The same universe that gave you wings
Can snatch them back before you blink
Your narcissism is a dangerous affair
(Dangerous affair)
On the way up, it’s all so thrilling
‘Til you remember nothing is under you but air
High above it all
Far from the commotion
But you’re about to fall
Icarus in motion
It’s always sunny when you’re flying high above the clouds
