Last night Allman Brothers Band guitarists Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes bridged our favorite two annual New York City residencies , when they performed both with the Allmans at the Beacon on Manhattan's Upper West Side and with Soulive at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg on the same night. The guitarists started off by playing two sets with the Brothers before they headed south for a surprise third set of Soulive's second Bowlive IV performance. [All Photos by Dino [...]

[ purchase Live at the Wetlands ] No, that isn’t a typo—The title of the song is the theme for the week. One of the most noticeable things about a Robert Randolph and the Family Band concert is the joy in the music and in the attitude of the musicians.

Now, I know that many families are dysfunctional and don’t get along, [...]
