Last night at Terrapin Crossroads, Furthur members Phil Lesh , John Kadlecik, Joe Russo and Jeff Chimenti teamed up with guitarist Anders Osborne for a West Coast Ramble. Osborne had already made his mark at last month's Spring Rambles with Luther Dickinson, but seemed to have picked up where he left off from those memorable shows. The first set was filled with treats such as Anders-sung covers of Ramblin' Man by the Allman Brothers Band, Neil Young's Heart Of Gold and Bob Marley's [...]

Then, on May 10th, The Black Crowes' Jackie Greene will Ramble with Phil and Furthur members John Kadlecik, Joe Russo and Jeff Chimenti. [...]
It's hard to believe that Terrapin Crossroads is just a smidge over one year old. The Phil Lesh-owned venue has provided so many magical collaborations that previously only existed in our dreams. Anders Osborne and Luther Dickinson playing THREE shows with a band Phil put together? What a fantastic idea that turned out to be as good as expected when it actually took place. Last night was the finale of the three-night stand of Spring Rambles that saw Phil Lesh, Anders Osborne and Luther Dickinson team up with Grahame Lesh, Tony Leone and Jason Crosby at Terrapin Crossroads [...]
After Thursday's show turned our heads , we were excited to see what "Uncle" Phil Lesh, Anders Osborne, Luther Dickinson, Tony Leone, Grahame Lesh and Jason Crosby had in store for their second of three Spring Rambles at Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael, Calif. last night. Just like Thursday's opening show, Friday saw the newly-formed ensemble mix blues classics, NMAS tunes and a bunch of songs from the Grateful Dead's touring repertoire. Then, for good measure, the band threw in a pair of Neil Young gems in Cortez The Killer and Down By The River for good measure. [...]

Last night HT faves Wilco concluded their three-night New York City run with a dare we say epic 28-song marathon show at Terminal 5. The gig saw the band dig deep into their catalog to pull out gems like A Magazine Called Sunset, Too Far Apart, Candyfloss and a show-closing take on the Being There track The Lonely 1. Prior to all that though, Jeff Tweedy & Co. stopped by Studio 6B in Rockefeller Plaza for their first-ever appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, where they performed not one, but two songs.

Por Federino Arballo “Hay un solo tipo de blues. Y consiste de un hombre y una mujer que están enamorados.” Así define Son House al blues. Unas cuántas décadas más tarde, Anders Osborne toma el concepto de uno de los padres del Delta Blues y le agrega letras más profundas, que habitan entre lo introspectivo y lo psicótico, entre el folk y la balada. Y a este estilo lo lleva desde lo más eléctrico del blues en la tradición de Led Zeppelin y de nuevo a los comienzos, donde Son House y [...]

I can't believe I'll be in New Orleans this weekend . I kept saying this to myself again and again in the days leading up to my departure from Chicago. This wasn't exactly said in excitement, either - no, in fact, you could say it was laced with anxiety and stress. I'd be traveling alone to a city I'd never been to and what's worse, I was sick with a diet version of the flu, and couldn't stop sucking down vitamin D capsules and crackling open Sudafed packets. So, on Wednesday night, I paced around my apartment, muttering things to [...]
