Dan Lebowitz of ALO
The Animal Liberation Orchestra or ALO are amongst my favourite bands to have on when I need that extra bounce or pep in my step. Their latest effort, Frames, is true to that formula, with each member of the quartet providing excellent musicianship, and vocal harmonies with a side order of smiles and fun. I recently had the chance to sit down with guitarist Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz to talk about the quartets latest album release, and a whole lot more… First song: Blank Canvas Second song: Space Between Frames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Russ Lawton of LaMP
You’re definitely going to want to check out the new release from LaMP entitled One of Us out now wherever you listen or buy music. For the uninitiated LaMP features drummer Scott Lawton and keyboard player Ray Paczkowski famously of the Trey Anastasio Band and guitarist Scott Mezger who has been toiling with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead amongst other side projects. Together, the trio puts out very cool jams that play off of their improvisation chops and decades of playing a range of music styles. While the tunes all start out with a groove Russ Lawton provides, they grow organically as the other two musicians colour in with their instruments over top. Together the trio amass tunes that are eclectic yet very much recognizable as LaMP tunes. I caught up with Russ Lawton to talk about where things are at with LaMP and of course we discussed the very compact yet thorough One of Us an album worth getting into your ears soon. Here’s how the conversation went. First song: Nice Girl Second song: Jasper's World See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nefesh Mountain
You gotta check out Nefesh Mountain’s latest full length double album release Beacons. Yes, you read that right, it’s a double album featuring an Americana record and a more traditional bluegrass record. Both sides are filled with great songs, some inspirational others about the human condition and introspection. This hopefully marks a touring point for the duo who are excited to add more instruments and punch to their band’s music. I caught up with Eric Lindbergh and Doni Zasloff to talk about Beacons in greater detail. Here’s how things went….

Al Schnier of moe.
That last few years of the 35 years moe. has been together haven’t been the easiest for the band. First there was bassist Rob Derhack’s cancer diagnosis which thankfully is in remission, guitarist Chuck Garvey’s stroke which he has almost totally recovered from and the untimely passing of Rob’s son. All of these setbacks could have easily crushed the collective spirit of the band and no doubt led to a hiatus or a full fledged breakup. Luckily, the band and its member’s found the courage to sojourn on each supporting one another as all tight knit families would. That in itself is quite the feat, but moe. has also channeled all that experience into a new album, Circle of Giants out now wherever you get music. In my opinion it’s one of their best studio records in a long time. I caught up with guitarist Al Schnier last week who was on tour with the band in Southern California. The conversation started when I asked Al how he took the news of Rob’s Derhak’a diagnosis and how he ultimately coped with it. First song: Ups and Downs Second song: Giants See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eggy
Connecticut based quartet Eggy recently released their sophomore record Waiting Game. As you’ll soon hear the process for this album was different than records and EPs of the past. The band who recruited White Denim guitarist James Petralli to produce the record purposefully wrote fresh material for the album that they didn’t play live until more recently. They also decided to let drummer Alex Bailey handle all the lead vocals on the record. What emerged from the sessions and ultimately became Waiting Game is a fresh record filled with poppy hooks, impressive production and yes the harmonies and musicianship we’ve come to expect from Eggy. I recently had the chance to catch up with Alex Bailey and Dani Battat to talk about the process of making Waiting Game, the songs themselves and as per usual much more. First song: Laurel Second song: A Moment's Notice See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Grisman
While Jerry Garcia collaborated with dozens of artists beyond fronting the Grateful Dead and The Jerry Garcia Band, few are as recognizable in name as David “Dawg” Grisman. As you’ll soon hear, their relationship was initially happenstance but as time wore on, it was inevitable that these two geniuses would meet and collaborate in both live and studio settings. David Grisman, roots music guru, multi-instrumentalist who is probably most famous for his masterful mandolin playing has released a series of “bare bone” acoustic Garcia and Grisman recordings dubbed Bare Bones. Two of these volumes have already released, the first on Jerry Garcia’s 82nd birthday just a few weeks back. A third will be released August 30th by Acoustic Disc.

Matisyahu with Adam Weinberg
Last week, roots reggae musician Matisyahu dropped the Hold the Fire Acoustic EP and yes as the name suggests these are stripped down acoustic versions of the songs on the EP by the same name. This acoustic EP also features collaborator Adam Weinberg. A very poetic and poignant song for the times we’re living in. Matisyahu’s touring woes and the blatant anti-semitism he faces on tour have been well documented here and elsewhere, but true to his craft and his supportive community he sojourns on. I caught up with Matisyahu and Adam Weinberg to talk about the inspiration behind releasing acoustic music, what’s next in for Matisyahu and I even asked collaborator Adam Weinberg the status of his solo material.

Bill Payne and Scott Sharrard of Little Feat
Little Feat’s story is one of longevity, an incredible catalogue of tunes, and excellent musicianship. The latest incarnation of the band, might be the closest we’ve heard since the band was formed back in 1969 by Lowell George, Billy Payne, Richie Hayward and Roy Estrada. The current line up is on tour most of the spring well into the summer, and they’re releasing an album full of blues covers and a few originals entitled Sam’s Place featuring percussionist turned vocalist Sam Clayton May 17th. I got up with keyboardist Billy Payne and current guitar player and friend of the show Scott Sharrard to get the lowdown on all things Feat.

Cris Jacobs
We’ve waited five years for noted singer songwriter Cris Jacobs to release new music. Fortunately his latest effort “One of These Days” is now available wherever you buy and listen to music and it’s one of my favourites of the year so far. Backed by the Infamous Stringdusters and produced by Jerry Douglas, the new album is a blend of rock, soul, gospel and of course bluegrass. Obviously we had to talk to Cris about the new record, mental health and much more. Have a listen.

Joe Funk of The Kitchen Dwellers
Amongst the jam bands that seem like they are always on the road are The Kitchen Dwellers. The Montana based quartet are part bluegrass or even jamgrass and part psychedelia. Their unique sound and that constant touring ethos has created quite a story to unpack. The Kitchen Dwellers released their fourth studio album “Seven Devils” a few weeks back, which gave a reason to catch up with Joe Funk, the band’s upright bass player.

The High Hawks
For the uninitiated, the High Hawks are a Bluegrass/Americana music supergroup featuring members of Leftover Salmon, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, Hard Working Americans, Railroad Earth and Great American Taxi. Mother Nature’s Show is actually the band’s sophomore effort and demonstrates a lot of growth in this band’s combined effort. I caught up with Vince Herman Leftover Salmon’s frontman and one of the High Hawks vocalists and guitar players and Chad Staehly the High Hawks keyboard player to get a status check on the band’s evolution, the song writing process and how Mother Nature’s Show came together. First song: Temperature Is Rising Second song: Top Shelf, Rock Bottom See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nefesh Mountain
On October 7th Israel was hit with the deadliest terror attack in its short history . By now the events of that day and the subsequent war between Israel and Hamas the current leadership of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip has been well documented. On October 11th just days after the attack Americana band Nefesh Mountain released a re-worked version of their song The Narrow Bridge which references the teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, which were also being illuminated by many Israel’s and Jews subsequent to the attack. The Narrow Bridge is just one of 7 tunes on the band’s forthcoming release, The Cabin Sessions EP. We had the great pleasure of talking with husband and wife duo Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff to learn more about Nefesh Mountain, the Cabin Sessions and more.
