Over the last 14 years, Pickathon Music Festival has grown into a premiere summer destination for music lovers and performers alike. Zale Schoenborn started the scrappy festival with his wife, family, and some friends, and a continued family-run mentality has kept it a unique experience. Situated on Pendarvis Farm outside of Portland, OR, Pickathon's five core organizers have designed unparalleled sustainability efforts and a community atmosphere that has musicians and fans returning year after year. With another indie-all star lineup, neigh perfected greening practices, and their projected first-ever sell-out, this year might be the festival's finest yet. [...]

Smoke Ring Halo captures the sound of brothers falling in love with roots music of their past all over again. With each new studio recording and subsequent supporting tour, the Wood Brothers continue to evolve and mature from a fun and loose side project into a full-fledged, ambitious Americana band. That evolution takes a giant leap on Smoke Ring Halo, with the addition of percussionist Tyler Greenwell (Tedeschi/Trucks Band, Zac Brown Band,) as a full time member, and veteran engineer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Wilco) behind the glass pushing the record button. There's a profound...

The Wood Brothers have put together a nice late summer/early fall tour in support of their new album, Smoke Ring Halo , which was produced by Jim Scott (Johnny Cash, Tom Petty) and released on Southern Ground Artists (Zac Brown's independent label).

I was watching Allen Toussaint's recording of Austin City Limits and before playing Get Out My Life Woman, Toussaint says, "This song coming up is a song that I wrote for brother Lee Dorsey many years ago but it was really made popular by another great person, but it's my most covered song of all songs I've written - I'm not sure why.....because ten minutes after I wrote it, I was quite confused." And I...I just don't know what cover he is referring to. It's been covered by so many [...]

By: Brian Hepp I f there's a Friday night without some live blues, I'm not interested. Add a little bit of gospel and folk to that performance, and now we have a kickin' party. Luckily for Los Angeles, The Wood Brothers gave us what we wanted and more, last weekend, at The Hotel Cafe. The Wood Brothers have practically lived in my cd player, since my first show at 2006 Bonnaroo Music Festival. They treated thousands of festival attendees to songs from their debut album, [...]
