Pink Talking Fish – the Pink Floyd, Talking Heads and Phish tribute fusion act – has announced a huge fall tour running all the way into December, with five stops in New York State. Along with last monthâs New Year’s Run announcement, the rest of 2024 is mapped out for the hybrid phenomenon.
Known for their mind-blowing live performances, the three-act tribute band Pink Talking Fish has announced a two-leg tour, with stops in Lafayette, Lake George, Tarrytown, Buffalo and Brooklyn.
Pink Talking Fish is a must-see for any fan of the three bands they cover: Pink Floyd, Talking Heads and Phish. The band features Eric Gould on bass, Richard James on keyboards, Zack Burwick on drums and Cal Kehoe on guitar.
The Pink Talking Fish fall tour kicks off in late September and brings the band coast-to-coast through 12 states around the country. Shows start on the East Coast in Tarrytown, NY, and Harrisburg, PA, with the band then heading to the Midwest through Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky.
For Halloween, the band will be in Portsmouth, NH, at The Music Hall, directly following the annual Portsmouth Halloween Parade. In November, Pink Talking Fish will head to California for the Golden Road Festival in Sanger, along with other shows in San Luis Obispo, Menlo Park, and Auburn.
Later in November marks a return to the Brooklyn Bowl in NYC with special guest Trukken, a band that performs heavy metal versions of Grateful Dead songs.
After the fall tour, Pink Talking Fish will close out the year with a New Year’s Eve run, which includes two-night runs in Mill Valley, CA, and Seattle, WA.
For those eager to catch a show as soon as possible, Pink Talking Fish will be performing this weekend in Atlanta, GA, at Buckhead Theatre and Charleston, SC, at The Refinery, joining Allman Brothers Band tribute band Trouble No More for a double bill.Â

Farming Man Fest, in Altamont, NY, organized by Indian Ladder Farms Cidery & Brewery (ILFCB), is marking its 10th anniversary this year, and to celebrate, the event is expanding into a full weekend of festivities.
The festival will include more than 25 breweries, including ILF’s own beer and hard cider, two distilleries, five bands, and over a dozen vendors on Saturday, July 20 from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, July 21 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., respectively.
This year’s festival promises to be an unforgettable celebration of New York’s vibrant brewing industry, offering enthusiasts and newcomers alike an opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich flavors and innovative craftsmanship that define the state’s beer scene.
Beginning in 2014, the Farming Man Fest was originally just for brewers, under the name “Bottle Share.” It was more of a networking event for maltsters, brewers, and hop growers.
When the festival first went public in 2018, attendance started at around 150. Just the next year, the attendance more than doubled. After a short hiatus in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic, Farming Man Fest came back strong in 2022 and continues to grow.
This milestone 10th-anniversary edition will feature exclusive brews, collaborative creations, and limited-edition releases that showcase the diversity and ingenuity of New York’s brewing community. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet the masterminds behind their favorite beers and enjoy live music and local food vendors in a beautiful farm setting.
Also new this year, Farming Man Fest will be held in ILFCB’s Pizza Garden and event space, The Clear Mountain Room, overlooking a breathtaking view of the Helderberg Escarpment.
“We are so excited for our annual commemorative beer, Farming Man: The Beer 2024,” said Scott Veltman, ILFCB Head Brewer. “In all honesty, the taste is just wow. Such a delicious beer. It’s a hoppy, wheated pilsner made with NYS malt and hopped with NYS Vista, and another hop variety referred to as HRC-003. It’s a refreshing yet hoppy lager with notes of peach, mango, melon and green tea. It’s the perfect easy-drinking beer to taste while socializing in summer—and therefore perfect for Farming Man Fest.”
Musical guests include TV Doctors, Sydney Worthley, The Sugar Hold, Super 400 and Wild Adriatic. Ian “Ritz” Carlton will be the event’s emcee and introduce the bands. Jeff Mo’rad from WEQX will broadcast his Jam ‘n Toast radio show live from the Pizza Garden on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Breweries who have already signed on to be at the festival include Artisanal Beer Works, Bolton Landing Brewing, Bound By Fate Brewery, Ommegang, Brooklyn Cider House, Brown’s Brewing, Chatham Brewing, Common Roots, Community Beer Works, Druthers Brewing, Fidens, Gentle Giant Brewing Co, Great Flats Brewing, Paradox Brewery, Real McCoy, Rip Van Winkle Brewery, Seven Points Brewery, SingleCut Beersmiths, The Brewery at the CIA, The Warbler, Unified Beerworks, Upper Depot, Wayward Lane, Whitman Brewing, and Wolf Hollow Brewing. Albany Distilling Company and Cooperstown Distillery will also be on site. A sampling of the vendors expected for the event are Beverwyck Cheesecake, Sweet Treat Cotton Candy, The Ornate Fox and Meadowdale Winery.
Food will be available from DeFazio’s Pizza in the Pizza Garden, who will also bring a food truck serving an array of delicious eats. The Tasting Room and Farm Store will be open for normal hours so patrons can grab a taste of those famous cider doughnuts.
Indian Ladder Farms will also host their aptly named Farming Moon Hike (usually referred to as their Full Moon Hike). Check-in for the hike will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday in the Pizza Garden. The hike will begin at 7:30 p.m. and explore the Buck Moon, named by the Farmer’s Almanac because July is the time when the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full growth mode. The hike will return to the Pizza Garden at 9:00 p.m. Tickets for the hike are available here.
Overnight camping will also be available. There are 20 camping passes offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, with a limit of 4 people per car. Passes are $30 each and are available here. Camping is available on Saturday night only.
A change from years past is that admission is free, with tasting passes available for $25, which provides patrons with (8) 4 ounce samples from the various breweries on site. Each food vendor will charge separately for their goods.
Families are invited to attend as well. There will be areas for water play in “Water World” and plenty of space for lawn games and picnicking.

Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings have announced the release of The 1974 Live Recordings, a collection of all professionally recorded shows from Bob Dylan’s 1974 performances backed by The Band, including his January 1974 shows at Madison Square Garden.
The collection will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s return to touring and will be released on Friday, September 20.

The 1974 Live Recordings, to be available as a deluxe box set across 27 CDs, will offer fans 417 previously unreleased Bob Dylan live tracks, including 133 recordings newly mixed from 16-track tape and every single surviving soundboard recording, along with new liner notes by journalist and critic Elizabeth Nelson.
In conjunction with The 1974 Live Recordings, Third Man Records has announced the September release of The 1974 Live Recordings – The Missing Songs From Before the Flood, a 3-LP / 1 by 7-inch set culled from the same recordings, featuring hand selected versions of every song Bob Dylan recorded that was not included on the original 1974 live album. Pressed exclusively on colored vinyl, the set will be available through The Vault, Third Man’s direct-to-customer mail order service.

Bob Dylan’s 1974 Tour marked his first time touring live in eight years and reunited him with The Band, who had become widely renowned in their own right since backing the artist nearly a decade earlier. Booked into arenas for the first time ever, Bob Dylan and The Band performed 30 dates in 42 days (often playing two sets per day) before an average audience of 18,500, helping set a new standard for what rock concerts could look and sound like. And in front of those crowds, they brought an energy that Rolling Stone’s Ben Fong-Torres described as “searing and soaring, unified and precise…excellent in itself.” Music critic Robert Christgau compared the sound to Bob Dylan “running over his old songs like a truck.”
Tour ‘74 kicked off Jan. 3, 1974, at Chicago Stadium, the largest indoor arena in the world at the time it was built, with a tense and combative rip through the ultimate deep-cut “Hero Blues,” an acoustic-gone-electric outtake from The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan sessions that he had scarcely performed before or since. Additional rarities, like a wildly reinvented “Ballad of Hollis Brown,” “Song to Woody” (not performed since 1962) and Planet Waves outtake “Nobody ‘Cept You,” would be well received on the tour’s first nights. “We were booed off of every stage in Europe,” The Band’s Robbie Robertson recalled to Newsweek of their previous run together. “What happened tonight in Chicago is so reassuring for us.”
The reception wasn’t the only thing that had changed since Bob Dylan and The Band last toured together in 1966. Since then, The Band had released six LPs, played Woodstock and other famous stages, and recorded a series of historic sessions with Bob Dylan, from The Basement Tapes to Planet Waves. For his part, Bob Dylan had effectively retired from the road altogether following a 1966 motorcycle accident, yet was still “widely regarded as the most influential and significant star in the last 10 years of American popular music,” according to The New York Times.

Though they might not have known it at the time, Bob Dylan and The Band were at the vanguard of a new era. Tour ‘74 would help create the template for the major rock tour and codify many of its shared experiences, from the sight of audiences holding up lighters en masse (as captured in the iconic cover image for Before the Flood) to the bright flash of the house lights during a show’s signal moment, in this case, their performance of “Like a Rolling Stone.” Likewise, many songs performed live for the first time on Tour ‘74—”All Along the Watchtower,” “Forever Young” and the show’s eventual opener-and-closer “Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I’ll Go Mine)” —would take on a life of their own.
At the outset, the 1974 Tour was captured on a stereo soundboard mix on both 1/4-inch tape and cassette. By the tour’s end, Asylum Records’ David Geffen had commissioned recordings on multitrack tape, the standard at the time, for eventual release on Before the Flood. The 1974 Live Recordings includes it all—the cassettes and 1/4-inch tapes and the shows that were recorded on 16-track tape, newly-mixed for this collection.
Preorders for the collection are available here. A previously unreleased performance of “Forever Young,” live in Seattle, on Feb 9, 1974, can be found here. See below for the full track list of The 1974 Live Recordings.

Driven by intense local and artist community support, the beloved Oldtone Music Festival has returned from the grave and revealed its full lineup. A one-of-a-kind 3-day hoot taking place from September 5-8 in Hillsdale, NY, the festival is making a miraculous comeback to Cool Whisper Farm after an early demise that turned out to be a one-year hiatus.
After beginning in Wassaic, NY, Oldtone is now held in Hillsdale.
What is Oldtone Music Festival?
The Oldtone Roots Music Festival was founded in 2015 with a one-day show in Wassaic, NY. In 2016, the full three-stage/camping festival was launched at the Schober family’s Cool Whisper Farm in North Hillsdale, NY. The festival ran the second weekend of September until the lockdowns of 2020 forced the producers to cancel. In 2021 and 2022, attempts were made to reboot the festival in limited scope; however, by early 2023, the choice to end the festival was made.
Nonetheless, Oldtone’s motto reads, “Participation is Preservation.” Truly the proud eastern Columbia town aims to preserve roots music and folkways through artist and audience participation and by passing traditions down by hand. As a result the Oldtone Festival has always brought the best of old-time, bluegrass, hot jazz, Cajun dance music, Western swing and other traditional styles to North Hillsdale and was sorely missed in the community. The niche festival remains true to the small town, standing out amongst a sea of corporatized summer festivals, Oldtone is, by design, an intimate, rural, artist-driven festival without the trappings of larger mega festivals. Thus, it was only a matter of time before the vision was brought back to life.
Don’t Call It a Comeback
Thus fittingly, by the fall of 2023 the possibility of reviving the festival as a non-profit event became a reality. Armed with a new management team and the support and enthusiasm of the Schober family, Oldtone Arts, Inc. was formed. Consequently by October of 2023, the new team received not-for-profit status via the New York Foundation for the Arts and the hard work to revamp the festival and make it everything it can be again. Henceforth Oldtone is now co-produced by Jim Wright and Trevor Roush. As a result any of the same people are still working on the show, with some fresh talent. Meanwhile, it is their hope that the festival will have a better chance to be sustainable and continue to promote the same great roots music.
Oldtone Music Festival Returns after a long hiatus.
Oldtone 2024
Moreover, artist interaction remains a high priority, with hands-on workshops, a dance tent, band and instrument contests, and even a side stage in order to pull camper-pickers up for a few numbers, which creates a festival experience unlike any other. This year, Oldtone is adding Latin-American roots music in a big way out of the gate, with Grammy-winners Los Texmaniacs.
Joining previously announced artists like the Grammy Award-winning conjunto band Los Texmaniacs, The Deslondes, JP Harris, and more are Sweet Megg, Down Hill Strugglers, Kiki Cavazos, Ranse Chase, Krissie & the Kranks, The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee, Beg, Steal or Borrow, and Slinky Armadillo.
The Oldtone Festival is back, and it’s coming together as a bigger and better event. We can’t wait to see you all dancing to some of the best roots music being made these days in our big dance tent. And bring your instruments. With some of the best field jams in the Northeast, this pickers’ festival packs the campground with music late into the night.
– Jim Wright, Oldtone founder
Camping Gates will open at noon on Thursday, September 5, for full festival ticket holders who booked to tent camp and for those with RVs and trailers that are longer than 18 feet. Please check the Oldtone website for all event updates.
We are beyond excited to bring back the Oldtone Festival full-on with both the main stage and our beloved dance tent. This year’s line-up is an amazing mix of legends and rising stars across so many genres of roots music. One thing we truly wanted to do for the upcoming festival attendees is keep the ticket price low… as it was in 2019. I think we did that and a whole lot more… It’s going to be the best one ever.
– Trevor Roush, producer
Tickets for the festival are currently on sale here.
