Yesterday, The Black Crowes' website was updated to reflect a series of spring tour dates that marks the band's return to the road.

Bob Weir showed off a bevy of his bromances last night at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, where he was joined by friends Jonathan Wilson, Rob Wasserman and Jackie Greene for a guest-filled second set of his "solo acoustic" show. Greene was aboard as the opening act, but the other two were more than welcomed unannounced guests. Greene kicked off the show with a solo set of his own that saw Wasserman and Wilson emerge for Nobody's Fault But Mine and You Can't Lose What You Never [...]
Jackie Greene describes his forthcoming album as “simple songs,” and we’re guessing it’s going to be a more intimate, self-contained affair than his most recent efforts, seeing as he’ll play all of the instruments and he’s also planning to pare down the final material from some 25 originals he’s been working on. [Photo by Jeremy Gordon ] Where he gets the time to do so much writing, it’s much tougher to say. The new, as-yet-untitled album is the latest milestone in a particularly charmed [...]
It doesn't look as if Trampled By Turtles have any plans of staying off the road for the immediate future as they support their highly recommended sixth studio album Stars and Satellites .

The Duluth, [...]
Singer/songwriter and HT fave Jackie Greene recently decided to take a break from social networking. Over the course of the 17-day hiatus close friends he encountered in "the real world" told him online reactions to his sudden disappearance included "Is He Dead?" "Did He Retire?" and "I Hope He's Okay." Turns out the opposite was true, Jackie was having too good a time living his life to be bothered with Twitter and Facebook. In a thought-provoking blog entry titled " The Evaporation of The Genuine Self ," the brilliant musician explains why he took the break, why he's [...]

This was our first year at Summer Camp, and there were a bunch of bands I was excited to see. So my expectations were high. I got to see most of the bands on my list, and all that I did see were as good or better than I was expecting. But, Christ... the heat? Almost unbearable. It practically drained the life from me. But, once again, I was saved by rock n roll... plus some new strategies for staying cool when you're spending entire days out in unshaded, 90+ degree heat. Here are some of the bands and artists that [...]
Some might say that the surviving members of the Grateful Dead are experiencing something of a creative renaissance of late, collaborating with both new and old friends on a variety of musical projects. While Phil Lesh has been keeping busy by gigging regularly at his recently opened Terrapin Crossroads venue, while his Futhur band mate and short, shorts enthusiast Bob Weir has been making the rounds with a new acoustic trio featuring two members of the extended Grateful Dead family - Chris Robinson and Jackie Greene. [...]
Phil Lesh's years in the making music venue, Terrapin Crossroads , opened last night in San Rafael, California, where the Grateful Dead / Furthur bassist greeted those who attended the "casual opening" with handshakes and smiles.

The annual Wanee Festival announced their initial set of artists today with the old-school heavy hitters of Allman Brothers Band and Furthur taking lead on the lineup this year.
