Phish has finally announced their summer tour dates and the band will return to Bethel Woods for a third time after previous visits in 2011 and 2022.
The band’s return to the home of Woodstock will see shows played on August 9, 10 and 11 – the last ones of the tour before their Mondegreen Festival in Delaware the following weekend.
The summer tour kicks off with three nights at Great Woods in Mansfield, MA from July 19-21. It also sees the band returning to Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT a few days later. The Midwest gets a lot of attention this summer with weekend gigs planned for both Alpine Valley in Wisconsin and Deer Creek in Indiana with shows in St. Louis and Grand Rapids, MI also on the docket. Phish then returns to the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts for a third time after a monumental three-day run in 2011 that helped sparked the band’s return from hiatus and a pair of weekend shows in 2022.

The theme of The Peach at the Beach is reconnecting with friends and embracing the essence of what makes The Peach so unique. Their mission is to continue spreading as much love and positive energy as possible.
The Summer Concert Stage at ISLAND Waterpark at Showboat Resort is Atlantic City’s newest concert venue, located outdoors among the sand, the sea, and stars, steps away from the beach, and boardwalk. It is the largest indoor beachfront waterpark in the world, covering 120,000 square feet and holding more than 317,000 gallons of water, with 11 crazy slides.

Bret Michaels has announced he will be partnering with Live Nation to bring back Parti-Gras 2.0 – Bret Michael’s Summer feel-good music festival. The summer celebration will be a repeat of the last Parti-Gras, where “all killer, no filler, feel-good music” is the overarching theme.
Michaels will be belting out all of his Poison hits, joined by some of his closest friends for an unforgettable blend of chart-toppers including Dee Snider, Lou Gramm, Chris Janson, Don and Felder.
Bret Michaels and his crew will unleash hit after hit for each show, all summer long. The six-city limited-date run of the event kicks off on July 12 in Indiana, at the Ruoff Music Center. The tour will also be stopping near NY in Holmdel, NJ at PNC Bank Arts Center.
You never know what surprise guests will jump up as friends of Bret Michaels on the stage, whether it’s star chef Guy Fieri, the Impractical Jokers, the Pawn Stars, or unbelievable superstar musicians.
The Parti-Gras is like Jimmy Buffett meets AC/DC meets Poison in a backyard barbecue setting. Michaels has even been known to drag fans up on stage during these arena and amphitheater shows and let them sing along.
“I guarantee these festivals are a modern-day throwback to those epic tailgate bashes, overflowing with good vibes and nothing but positive energy. I created the Parti-Gras festivals first and foremost as a fan of music, bringing along friends, bands and hit songs. I love it as a celebration of the music – no ego, just nothing but a good time. I like bringing fans up on the stage to sing…with the tough years we’ve been through, I wanted to bring the fans a night of having fun, singing big hit music, and I promise you that I really get into the details – all-killer hits, no filler.”

The newly reformed Sublime will headline the eleventh annual Levitate Music & Arts Festival in Marshfield, MA this summer. The festival is scheduled to take place from July 5th through July 7th at the Marshfield Fairgrounds. Joining Sublime at the top of the festival bill is Lake Street Dive, Mt. Joy, Tash Sultana and Dirty Heads, with a wide range of other popular artists filling out the rest of he weekend.
Upon receiving an inside tip that Sublime, the 90s surf-punk icons that defined a generation were rumored to reunite, Levitate organizers moved quickly to arrange that Sublime would take the stage for their first and only live Northeast performance at Levitate Music & Arts Festival. The band features original members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson with Jakob Nowell, the son of late founding member Bradley Nowell, assuming front man duties. “Playing our music is the closest thing possible to playing with my old buddy Brad,” noted Wilson recently.
In addition to this very special headlining act, the lineup also includes powerhouse female fronted acts Lake Street Dive and Tash Sultana on Saturday, indie rockers Mt. Joy on Friday, and a star studded dynamic lineup ranging from favorites Dirty Heads to hometown heroes The Elovaters. The virtuosic prowess of performers like Grace Bowers and Cory Wong will also be on full display this weekend. And the authentic Americana of Charley Crockett along with rising starts like Karina Rykman only adds to the incredible and diverse talent at this year’s festival.

Along with the world-class musical talent, Levitate will host an eclectic, eco-driven and family friendly event with a blend of artisan vendors, dozens of local food trucks, and wide ranging experiences from live art installations to kids activities including the return of the kids zone run by Levitate Camp Counselors which encourage creativity and a shared love of the outdoors with the next generation – a value at the very core of Levitate’s mission.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, February 15 at 12 PM ET. Visit www.levitatemusicfestival.com for more information. One percent of each ticket sold will be contributed to the Levitate Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to cultivate vibrant communities by creating and conserving access to music, art and the outdoors.
The Young People’s Orchestra will perform side by side with The Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes for their “Side by Side Through the Ages” show at the Corning Museum of Glass, One Museum Way in Corning, NY on March 10.
The Young People’s Orchestra, directed by Margaret Matthews and Gary Chollet, will perform alongside the professional musicians of the OSFL in a moving and challenging suite of music from the Broadway hit West Side Story. They will perform side by side with the OSFL musicians, Hertzog Concerto and Aria Competition winner Riley Hubisz.
The OSFL will perform the music by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and Bernstein on the March 10 concert while SUNY Corning Community College Theatre students will perform scenes from Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare around 1595, which has inspired numerous creatives throughout the ages. The play was set to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1869 as an overture-fantasy. The play was also set to music as a ballet by Sergei Prokofiev in 1935 and rewritten into two concert suites in 1936.
The OSFL is known for supporting the creative and artistic development of students through side-by-side opportunities for middle school, high school, and college students. “March is music in our school’s month, when we invite our local young talent to share the stage with us,” says Toshiyuki Shimada, the Music Director of the OSFL. “The Young People’s Orchestra will sit among the OSFL musicians on stage, for an inspiring highlight in their musical development. We also showcase the winner of our own Hertzog Concerto & Aria Competition, Riley Hubisz, who is a gifted flute student in 11 th grade at Ithaca High School. It is a pleasure to work with Professor Mary Guzzy from Corning Community College and give the theater students the rare opportunity to perform on stage with a professional orchestra.” He added.
General admission tickets start at $50 and $15 for College students. Entry is free for all children under 18 while groups of 10 or more receive a 10% discount. Tickets for the “Side by Side Through the Ages” show on March 10 can be purchased through OSFL.org, by calling 607-936-2873, or in person at the OSFL office, 49 Bridge Street, Corning, NY.
The 2024 ceremony will once again stream live on Disney+ and will be available on Hulu the next day. To be eligible for nomination, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.
Ten out of 15 of the Nominees are on the ballot for the first time. This includes Mariah Carey, Cher, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & the Gang, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sinéad O’Connor, Ozzy Osbourne and Sade.
New York is greatly represented this year, with six of the 15 nominees hailing from the Empire State. Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Foreigner, Lenny Kravitz, Eric B. & Rakim and A Tribe Called Quest all native to New York.
Inductees will be announced in late April. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2024 Induction Ceremony will take place in Cleveland this fall with date and on-sale information to be announced.
90s hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest have been nominated a few times for the RRHOF. This year, the jazzy, vintage-sound, of A Tribe Called Quest’s true and influential music will be heard and considered by the panel once more.
Along with Tribe, fellow New York hip-hop artists Eric B. & Rakim will be considered for induction. Eric B. and Rakim are widely regarded as one of, if not the most influential rap duos to ever grace the genre. Rakim has become an icon for being the father of 90s rap and its many sounds.
“This remarkable list of Nominees reflects the diverse artists and music that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors and celebrates. Continuing in the true spirit of Rock & Roll, these artists have created their own sounds that have impacted generations and influenced countless others that have followed in their footsteps.”
John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation
70s and 80s rock band Foreigner is on the ballot, and their induction is one that many rock fans have waited for. Fellow rocker Lenny Kravitz looks to secure a place in the Hall of Fame, boasting a large and diverse catalogue. Lenny Kravitz is not just rock, he is soul, and he is inspiration.
This year’s nominations are packed with extraordinary talent, and their impacts are all unique and important. This multi-genre line up is certainly going to be neck and neck with votes for induction.

Bassekou Kouyate is a musician from Mali, Africa and a world-renowned ngoni player. The ngoni is an ancient west-African instrument similar to a guitar or lute. Bassekou is widely regarded as a true master of the instrument. Bassekou Kouyate plays in a band named, “Ngoni Ba.”
Bassekou Kouyate and Ngoni Ba will be playing at The Falcon in Marlboro on February 15, and Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga Springs on February 16.
Musical influences
In 1982/83, Kouyate left his village and went to Bamako where he began playing with Toumani Diabate, a revered Malian kora player. Working with Toumani, he met many fine musicians.
In 1990 he was invited to a large gathering of banjo players in Tennessee. The trip was monumental as it marked not only his first time leaving Mali, but his first time visiting the U.S. The American banjo players wanted to know where the banjo came from. They knew that the ngoni is considered an ancestor of the banjo, which came from Africa, but wanted to meet someone from Africa who played it and could speak to its history.
It was at this gathering that he first met Taj Mahal and Bela Fleck. (seen below with Taj Mahal in New Orleans in 2023). There were more than 800 banjo & ngoni players together at this gathering. Taj sang the blues for him, and Bassekou returned the favor, which proved to be a very powerful experience for Bassekou and had a huge influence on his approach to playing.
Griots
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3yYmFwGDywGriots speak at marriages, baptisms, funerals, referencing the history and deeds of the family in question. They are there to help resolve problems between husband and wife, or neighbors, or friends.
Nick Motto: What does it mean to you to be a griot?
Bassekou: Griots are the guardians of tradition in Bamana society in Mali. I am very proud to carry on that tradition.
Bassekou’s father, grandfather, and back hundreds of years, were all griots, and he knows that history well. In fact, His family was the first to be counsellors to the founding king of the Malian Empire, the famous Sundiata Keita, in the 12th century.
Ngoni Ba: One cannot become a griot, one has to be born into a griot family. The lineages of current griots in Mali can be traced back hundreds of years.
Bassekou: Being a griot is like being a mayor. People come and ask for help, and as a griot it is your duty to help them.
Collaborations
Bassekou loved playing music with his father and grandfather. Their notes were organically in synch with one another.
He also adored playing with Ali Farka Touré, who he says “had a good heart”.
Ali told him, “The black world now knows you are here,” urged him to develop his career and offered to help him find a good producer. He invited Bassekou to play on his Savane album after a mere 10 minutes of rehearsal, telling Bassekou that it was “his turn now”.
Bassekou highly values his collaboration with Béla Fleck who he says “plays fluidly and flawlessly”.
Taj Mahal is like family to Bassekou. And because Taj looks like Sekou Batourou Kouyate – a close relative who was an extraordinary ngoni and kora player – Bassekou sees him as a ‘brother’ from West African ancestry. “It’s as if we had the same mother, same father, …. He’s like a big brother to me and I love to collaborate with him.”

In the midst of a massive, 58-date trek across the United States, Go Ahead And Die (GAAD) brought their Unhealthy Mechanisms Tour 2024 to Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey this past Friday night. February 9.
Formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 2020, GAAD features iconic vocalist and guitarist Max Cavalera (co-founder of Sepultura) and his son, singer/guitarist, Igor Amadeus Cavelara. The thrash metal outfit is rounded out by Johnny Valles (Black Braid, Healing Magic) behind the kit and touring bassist Jackie Cruz, best known for her work with Jade Helm.

Touring in support of their sophomore album (Unhealthy Mechanisms, Nuclear Blast Records) released in October 2023, GAAD were supported by Bodybox, a slam death metal foursome hailing from Orlando, Florida.
After a brief delay due to a technical difficulty with the sound system, GAAD took the stage at 10:10 pm and got right down to business. A circle mosh pit of already sweaty bodies – a direct result of Bodybox’s preceding performance – quickly re-formed in front of the intimate stage, as less brave souls seeking shelter (present company included!) scurried to the sidelines.

The 15 song, 70–minute set of punk-like infused energy was highlighted by aggressive lyrics, frenetic guitar riffs, distorted bass lines and smash-mouth drumming from select Unhealthy Mechanisms tracks (ten in total), with five more lifted from their self-titled, debut studio album released in 2021.
Watch GAAD perform their opening two numbers at Dingbatz, “Desert Carnage” and “Split Scalp,” below.

It was a headbangers ball on Saturday, Feb. 10, as Disturbed brought their Take Back Your Life Tour to the sold-out Mohegan Sun Arena in support of their new record, Divisive which was released last year. Disturbed’s tour was announced back in October of 2023 and featured 23 cities, with this show in Uncasville, Connecticut, being the halfway marker.
Disturbed, out of Chicago, Illinois, features Dan Donegan on guitar, Mike Wengren on the drums, with David Draiman on lead vocals and John Moyer on bass. This lineup has been together since 2004 after Moyer replaced Steve “Fuzz” Kmak.
As fans took a pause from their slot machines and rolling dice and filled into the arena, which sits at the heart of the casino, fans were greeted with the first of three bands of the night. The first group was the all-female band Plush. As the female foursome plugged in their guitars, they created a wall of sound behind the beautiful vocals of lead singer, Moriah Formica.
Despite the band only having a short seven-song setlist, they left their impact on the crowd. Fans who weren’t familiar with them were won over after hearing the group’s rendition of “Barracuda” by Heart which originally appeared on the band’s 1977 record, Little Queen. By the end of the set, fans headbanging and raising their fists in the air. It would be a surprise to no one if in a few years from now, Plush worked their way up the band bill to becoming the middle act and graduating to larger venues.
Rounding out Plush with Formica is Bella Perron on lead guitar, Ashley Suppa on bass guitar, and Faith Powell on the drums.
Following Plush’s set was the 2008 band Falling in Reverse. While the band is slightly different from the metal genre of Disturbed, Falling in Reverse brought hard rock and catchy choruses to the crowd and played their part well as the middle act. While lead singer Ronnie Radke is the only original member left, his energy alone was awe-inspiring.
Radke took fans down memory lane citing that the band used to play at the legendary Toad’s Place in New Haven, Connecticut, before upgrading to the Mohegan Sun Arena. Throughout the hour-long set, some mega fans in the general admission pit were screaming along to every song until the band took their final bow of the night.
Joining Radke in Falling in Reverse is Max Georgiev and Christian Thompson on guitars, with Tyler Burgess on bass and touring drummer Luke Holland.
As the clock struck 9 p.m. and the house lights dimmed to show a blank curtain with the shadows of the band, the thunderous roar from the crowd surged from the back and upper rafters to the front of the stage as the spotlights shot on. The curtain dropped and the metal masters of Disturbed greeted the Uncasville audience.
The band kicked off their pre-Super Bowl party with “Hey You,” off of the aforementioned Divisive. The band played 17 songs with at least one song off every album of theirs being played, making sure to accommodate every fan of every era of the band. In KISS-like fashion, a spectacular light show was rigged behind them with pyrotechnics and fire beaming out throughout the night.
As the band plunged further into their set, Donegan sat down at a piano with the top on fire and was accompanied by two string orchestra players. The band then began to play their famous cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence,” which can be heard on Disturbed’s 2015 album, Immortalized. The bone-chilling cover of this classic song also featured Wengren on giant symphony drums as the crowd once again screamed and cheered for a song they know extremely well.
As the band played on into the night they came to song number 15 in their set which was “Don’t Tell Me.” The studio version of their new album features Ann Wilson of Heart but this time, Moriah Formica of Plush made her triumphant return to the stage for her curtain call duet with Draiman. Throughout the night, Draiman would preach to the fans about fighting addiction and illness and claiming fans are “not alone” in the fight against mental illness which provided a sense of comradery and togetherness amongst the sold-out crowd.
As the band was transitioning into the second to last song of the set, Draiman hopped off stage to approach a young fan along the barricade in the front who, for the entire night, was holding a photo of a boy. The girl, who went by the name of Kailey, announced to the crowd that the boy’s name was Mark Rivers and he “lost his battle with addiction.”
While the two were interacting, what once was a loud arena filled with the sounds of heavy metal became as quiet as a church, you could hear the breath of fans around you. Before the band played “The Light,” Draiman brought Kailey on stage and dedicated the song to Rivers. Around the arena, you could see people shedding tears and embracing their loved ones beside them as they witnessed the heartfelt moment between the band and a fan in front of them.
As the band played their final notes, a moment of realization clicked in. Music is a force that joins people together. Music and concerts, in general, are an event and spectacle that bring out their emotions as a force that can heal fans no matter what they’re going through. The moment that a person’s favorite band is on stage, the music has the utmost power to heal and guide fans out of the darkest holes they might be in.
Disturbed was no different, through the headbanging and mosh pits of the GA section, to the harmony brought on by the band and one girl’s unifying story. Fans of all bands and all music, whether it was their first or ninth time seeing Disturbed, left Mohegan Sun Arena with hope and love in their hearts as Disturbed not only brought metal to Connecticut but a lasting impression that there is still good left in the world.
