From The New York Times:

The Allman Brothers Band celebrates its 40th anniversary in March 2009 and the 20th anniversary of its first appearance at the Beacon Theater in New York. The run at the theater is dedicated to Duane Allman, the band's founding guitarist, who died in a motorcycle accident in 1971.

The concerts at the Beacon will be different, Gregg Allman said in a phone interview from his Savannah, Ga., home. ''Somebody said, 'Let's do it in honor of big brother,' and we all agreed.'' The next suggestion, he said, was to invite everyone who played with Duane Allman to make appearances at the shows.

A revered session player, Duane performed with many people during his 24 years -- and so, while the Beacon shows have always been known for the guests who appear with the band (whose lineup now consists of the original members: the singer and keyboard player Gregg Allman, the drummers Butch Trucks and Jaimoe, joined by the guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, the bass player Oteil Burbridge and the percussionist Marc Quiñones), 2009 looks to be especially star studded. There are pervasive rumors that Eric Clapton, members of the Grateful Dead and B. B. King will turn up onstage over the run.

Though several artists have longstanding relationships with particular stages -- the Grateful Dead at Madison Square Garden, Mr. Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall in London -- no established band has been so closely associated with one location as the Allman Brothers Band has with the Beacon.

Formed in Jacksonville, Fla., the Allman Brothers helped lay the foundation for what came to be known as Southern rock with their expansive blend of rock, jazz and blues. Yet the band always maintained a close connection to New York, dating back to the days of the legendary Fillmore East, where it recorded a classic live album in 1971. The bond between these rural Southerners and this Northeastern city has ''always been kind of puzzling,'' Butch Trucks said. Mr. Allman said New Yorkers simply ''love good music, and they like it played long and hard.''

After the Fillmore closed in 1971, the band went looking for a home base in Manhattan. It settled on the 2,800-seat Beacon in 1989.

For fans who can't make it to the Beacon, the 2009 shows can also be seen live over the Web at moogis.com, a new site spearheaded by Mr. Trucks. For $125 subscribers can watch real-time, five-camera feeds of all 15 concerts, which will then be available on demand until Sept. 30. He plans for the site to evolve into an online home for jam bands and their followers. -- Alan Light, NYTimes

air with some glorious jams
for their first time!

The Derek Trucks Band...

has been a work in progress for over 10 years, blending jazz, rock, blues, Latin, Eastern Indian, and other world music into the sound that now defines the DTB. The band’s mission has been to assemble a group of musicians that share a passion for improvisation and musical exploration, and to develop a united musical vision by performing with this core group of players for an extended period of time. The focus of the band is on the art form itself, despite the current trend of image-driven music on the scene today. The DTB aims to create progressive roots music in an effort to move the art form forward and re establish substance over hype. Following is a brief history of the band, and the diverse background of the musicians that make up the DTB.

Derek Truck's musical career began at the age of nine, when he picked up a five dollar acoustic guitar at a yard sale. "It was nothing special," he claims, “It was just the only thing that looked interesting." But that seemingly inconsequential purchase changed his life. After learning what he could from his father and a family friend, Derek began playing with other musicians around town. "It happened pretty quick," Derek remembers. Within the span of a single year, he had purchased an instrument, learned how to play, and began touring - with his father acting as road manager/chaperone. What had begun as a weekend activity quickly became a life’s pursuit, and would eventually result in Derek being the youngest player to make Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list.

Derek on the new album:
"I'm excited about it. This one feels different than the others. I think part of it is that when you build a studio yourself from the ground up with your own hands, with family, you feel like you birthed the whole thing. It's in our backyard, it just feels organic. It was nice to be able to wake up in the morning and drive the kids to school and hit the studio and write."

Artist Spotlight ~ The Hold Steady

Making their Mountain Jam debut this year will be Brooklyn's own The Hold Steady. Taking the country by storm are Craig Finn (vocals, guitar), Tad Kubler (lead guitar), Franz Nicolay (keyboards, vocals, harmonica, accordion), Galen Polivka (bass) and Bobby Drake (drums). The band's style has been described as a "riff-heavy mixture of classic rock", notable for its "lyrically dense storytelling." To date, the band has released four critically acclaimed studio albums: Almost Killed Me (2004), Separation Sunday (2005), Boys and Girls in America (2006), and Stay Positive (2008).

With Stay Positive on the Billboard Charts, The Hold Steady abandon their day jobs and light out for the territories. But roaming that ribbon of highway isn’t all autographs and beer nuts. Here’s a rock and roll group grappling with their success, always on the brink of collapse – in love with the road, but praying to make it home in one piece.”

The Hold Steady have announced an April 7 release date for A Positive Rage, a double disc package featuring a documentary on DVD and their first-ever live album.
