For the uninitiated, Ghost Light is a pseudo all-star band made up of frontman Tom Hamilton Jr., Holly Bowling, Scotty Zwang and Raina Mullen and Taylor Shell. The band’s sophomore album was recorded at The Ballroom, Hamilton Jr.‘s own studio in North Philly. As you’ll soon hear, this album’s creation was important for the band as it continues to mature, now just about 4 years in existence. I caught up with friend of the show, Tom Hamilton Jr. to talk about the album, his other project JRAD, and...

We’ve chatted with Mihali a few times over the years, but it’s never been about two projects at once. It seems though, that the Twiddle frontman has been busy working on a solo project released in July called Effection and a brand new Twiddle album Every Last Leaf. So we kept it brief but were able get in a lot during our conversation. First song: Mihali - Open House (Featuring Chadwick Stokes) Second song: Twiddle - The Devil (Featuring John Popper) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy in...

I couldn’t make it to Peach Festival this year, but the crew of people who I knew that did, were raving about a young guy who played the guitar like a man possessed and served up a large heaping plate of cosmic country goodness. They of course were referring to the captivating Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country. When you first hear Daniel’s voice, it’s a throw back to the days of country crooners before him, and his playing style is that of a demon, with odes to country, honky tonk, bluegrass and go...

March 3, 1993 at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, Ilinois, may go down as one of the most important dates in modern Jam Band history. The Grateful Dead performed that night in the Windy City and said venue and noted promoter, club owner, philanthropist, activist and raconteur Peter Shapiro was in attendance, at the first Dead show he ever attended. He recently published a memoir of his life’s work to date in a must read book “The Music Never Stops…” co-penned by Dean Budnick the editor at Relix ...

There is something magical brewing in the state of Colorado, and much of it has to do with the emergence of the Magic Beans. We’ve featured their music before, but with the release of their latest record Unzipped, I’d like to suggest that this band has organically determined a fresh way to make music, that unbelievably isn’t that fresh at all. For Unzipped the band shed much of what they’ve done in the past to create music, and instead opted for a very lo-fi, analog approach. The results of thos...

Today, as it's Canada Day, I thought it would be cool to introduce you to two Canadian jam bands who are trying to make their mark on the Canadian music scene and beyond. Both bands are heavily influenced by some of the same bands and artists who influence the latest crop of Jam Bands stateside like Goose and Eggy.

After almost 25 years of putting out records and touring, everything came to a halt for the dudes in Umphrey’s McGee in March 2020 with the pandemic crushing tour plans. That didn’t stop them from putting out live streamed shows and a handful of drive in shows. They also managed to continue recording songs for a new album, which you’ll get to hear in its entirety next week. Asking for a Friend may in fact maybe my favorite Umphrey’s McGee album to date. It’s filled with great lyrics, awesome ho...

The funk band Lettuce have been out on the road and will continue to be all Summer and Fall so I wanted to catch up with someone from the band to talk about their latest release Unify, working with the great Bootsy Collins, the band’s trip to Europe in the Fall and much more. Luckily we caught up with drummer Adam Deitch to talk about it all. First song: Keep that Funk Alive (ft. Bootsy Collins) Second song: Waffles See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
