There was something special going down at Nashville's 3^rd and Lindsley Sunday night. The Raelyn Nelson band opened up, warming up the crowd for Uncle Luke (as Raelyn calls him) with their unique blend of Rock N Roll (with a lil bit of country). Then the headliner, Lukas Nelson's Promise of the Real proceeded to melt down the house with one of the most powerful performances ever seen and heard at 3^rd and Lindsley.

Nashville City Winery was kind enough to host a GD50 show of their own before the main event featuring the New Riders of the Purple Sage.. Before headed up to Chicago to do their “psychedelic last supper” show the New Riders of the Purple Sage played a show in Nashville which featured 3 generations of Grateful Dead influenced musicians.

It was musical photography feast time in Nashville last Thursday night! Three venue's, 6 bands were on the table. 12^th and Porter's “Toys for Tots” show continued to rock on.

Toys for Tots Emcee, “Papa” Raines, played Santa Claus and gave the audience a very nice gift indeed, The Raelyn Nelson Band”!!

“Papa” introduced them as a band “where Loretta Lynn meets Cheap Trick. Or perhaps as one of their original songs go...”Jack and Loretta” ,ie. Jack White meets Loretta Lynn. No matter how you try to compare them though it comes down to one inescapable fact, Raelyn Nelson and “The Raelyn Nelson” band rock hard. And were/are good enough to take the opening act slot at “Farm Aid” this year. So thank you “Papa” for that priceless gift of music you bestowed upon us, “The Raelyn Nelson Band”

The Allman Brothers At The Beacon - Jukes Horns And Eric Krasno Help Celebrate 40th Anniversary Of Eat A Peach

More than March madness, Spring training or early crocuses, to many New Yorkers the sure harbinger of spring is the Allman Brother’s multi-night run at the Beacon. Opening the show with a recording of  Bill Grahm’s introduction to the classic Filmore East concert of June 27th, 1971, the band covered songs both on the original record plus Midnight Rider, Statesboro Blues and Whipping Post from the 2006 live bonus release from that historic show.   In between the opening Trouble No More and rousing Whipping Post encore, the Allmans were joined for several songs by the Jukes horns, who played with the band through amazing covers of The Band’s It Makes No Difference, and, according to Haynes, Bill Grahm’s favorite tune, Van Morrison’s Into The Mystic.  A mid show accoustic set included a rare rendering of Duane Allman’s Little Martha.
