    One of the most prominent acts of the early jam band scene, New York based God Street Wine has been jamming on and off for over twenty six years. Within their first decade as a unit, the group had released five albums and performed over 1,000 shows across the country.

    After a nearly decades-long split, the band reunited in 2009 privately to honor the passing of an old friend and later performed a series of shows in New York City benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. With the band spread geographically, releases came sporadically throughout the next few years, including a 25th anniversary box set retrospective and the All The Way To Here documentary film.

    Just off of the heels of eight shows in the Summer of 2019, the band faced an unexpectedly lengthy hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. After four years kept apart, God Street Wine was able to reunite in 2023 with two New York shows, this time in benefit of Mission Stadiums for Multiple Sclerosis.

    Earlier this year, the group celebrated their first major-label release’s 30th anniversary with digital releases of once-lost tracks and pressed three of their albums on vinyl for the first time ever, punctuated with four sold-out shows in Woodstock, New York City, and Asbury Park in New Jersey.

    With countless performances and releases behind them, God Street Wine has decided once more that what they’ve accomplished so far is not all that is in store for the group and their fans. The band has announced five concerts in March of 2025, including a date in New York.

    Performing at the historic Bearsville Theater, God Street Wine will be making an appearance in Woodstock on March 15. This performance will wrap the mini-tour, and notably will be recorded for a future Live Release- it’s truly a show to not be missed. Tickets are on sale now- visit here to purchase and learn more.

  • Jam Band God Street Wine Releases New Political Single “Kristi Shot a Puppy”

    New York City band, God Street Wine, released their brand new comedic single on Tuesday, titled, “Kristi Shot a Puppy.”

    Kristi Shot a Puppy

    The satirical title references South Dakota Governor, Kristi Noem. She is a controversial republican politician who, according to her own memoir, shot and killed her dog on her family farm.

    God Street Wine is no stranger to dark humor as they often use comedic lyrics to get statements across to listeners.

    The band took to Facebook writing, “No animals of any kind were harmed during the recording of this new #GodStreetWine song. We wish the same was true of the subject matter. It’s a weird world out there. Be safe, be kind and please exercise your right to #vote. Your voice matters!”

    Since the band formed in 1988, God street Wine has released nine studio albums and opened for big names in rock including The Allman Brothers Band, Dave Mathews band and Sheryl Crow. Founding bandmates, Lo Faber and Dan Pifer met at NYU and then transferred to Manhattan school of music where they met guitarist and vocalist Aaron Maxwell. The founding members’ background in jazz mixed with bluegrass and rock creates the band’s unique sound.

    “Kristi Shot a Puppy” follows their album released in February, Hot Sweet and Juicy. Fans will have a chance to see God Street Band live while they hit the road again this Fall. They will perform at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, Sept. 20 and 21, The NYC venue, The Cutting room on Sept. 27 and The Wonder Bar in New Jersey Sept 28.

Lastly, the band plays in Asbury Park, New Jersey on September 28. These four shows welcome fans of GSW and those who simply love music.
