Agreed, c-towns. Wow this is brutal. Came right here when I found out. Neal Casal has passed away. https://livemusicblog.com/news/neal-casal-passed-away-r-i-p/

Yes, watch the whole thing, but here’s Layla on its own:

There’s also a free Lockn webcast all weekend: https://relix.com/news/detail/watch-now-the-relix-channel-announces-free-lockn-livestream/

Loved it, warts and all. Rachel price is such a bad ass.

Hell of a report, right there.

Yowza. Quite a lineup. Sure to be a memorable night.

Are those two separate requests?

Original Woodstock lineup, with Woodstock 50 stability. Full marks for inter-generational authenticity.

I’m just happy to see Boyd Tinsley still getting work.

Also, I hadn't listened to the Ghosts of the Forest album before yesterday, but I'm really digging it now.

Fish came off exactly the same as he did in Bittersweet Motel, and I mean that in the best way.

Intimate is right. There were a few components to it: a little but of live footage (though not much), a good chunk of studio and rehearsal footage with various collaborators, and then a series of one-on-one chats between Trey and his family / friends / band mates. Very much a portrait of where he is at now and how all of these relationships helped shape him and continue to be so important to him. It was touching, really. A few lighthearted moments as well.

Wow that was good.

Tomorrow night! (And by "tomorrow" I mean Wednesday.) It's playing at 6:45 and 9:05 at South Keys here in Ottawa. I'll be at the 6:45 show.

Samesies.

Ugh.

There’s now a fundraising site: https://sweetrelief.org/jeff-austin-fund/
