July 9-11 - 14th Annual All Good Music Festival - Marvin's Mountaintop Masontown, WV
Featuring: Furthur with Phil Lesh & Bob Weir, Widespread Panic, Umphrey's McGee, Yonder Mountain String Band, Dark Star Orchestra, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic and much more.
As one of the longest running jam-centric festivals on the East Coast, All Good consistently delivers solid, no-filler music, top of the line production and good vibes. Not without setbacks, the festival has steadily edged its way to the level of success that it currently enjoys today. Festival organizers attribute a large part of the ongoing success of the festival to the support and feedback from the audience.

"Each year, we send out a survey to our fans asking for their input, we review their responses and make improvements based on their feedback. Beyond that, we have always had a slow growth concept starting with less than 1,000 in attendance at our 1st all good", says Tim Walther - visionary talent buyer and namesake of the Baltimore based Walther Productions. "We look to strengthen our lineup each year, improve the production, and to enhance the fan's experience by tweaking our operations and upgrading our services and the amenities that we offer."  

This summer, All Good will feature 21 new artists out of 40 acts on the roster with no overlapping sets, which allows the fans to experience every minute of every performance. Other highlights for this year's event include a more dynamic light show, new LED Screens, upgraded port-a-john services, additional crowd performers and a slew of other surprises. For the first time ever, the Dragon Stage - or main stage in the main concert area - will now host the Thursday night sets, allowing fans more room to shake their bones.

The All Good Festival strives to give back to the local community through various philanthropic efforts. Walther presents a star-studded Rex Jam through The Rex Foundation to raise money for the local high school music program. The festival collects canned goods through Conscious Alliance and donates the goods to a local food pantry (boasting as much as 7,200 pounds of food.) AG makes sizeable donations to other national non-profit organizations such as, Headcount, Rock the Earth and the local Volunteer Fire Department.

Crafting musical magic is a tenuous endeavor for Walther's production team, though he admits all of the work pays off when he arrives on site 10 days prior to the event and is privileged to witness the grassy fields of Marvin's Mountaintop grow into a loving and thriving community of like-minded folks.

"We first set out to put on a festival where everyone from the bands to the fans to the staff could have the best time possible", says Walther. "Life is short and everyone deserves a time and space where they can let their hair down, be one with the scene and community and have a hassle free good time." www.allgoodfestival.com


July 17 - 5th Annual Blue Ridge Blues & BBQ Festival - Elmwood Park
Featuring: Matt "Guitar" Murphy with the Nouveaux Honkies, Sean Chambers, Labron Lazenby & L.A. 3
The Blue Ridge Blues Society presents another round of screaming blues and lip-smackin' BBQ. The festival is slated to feature legendary Blues-man Matt "Guitar" Murphy of the Blues Brothers and Chess Records fame. Nearly five years removed from the festival's humble beginnings on Historic Henry St., the Blue Ridge Blues and BBQ Festival has grown into a formidable vehicle for Blues music in Southwest Virginia.

"The idea was to create an outlet to present this true American art-form known as The Blues, to give the people of Southwest Virginia who are already Blues fans a good dose of Blues and to expose the music to others who just don't know that they are Blues fans yet", says president and founder of the Blue Ridge Blues Society, Kerry Hurley. "The festival has grown significantly in numbers, both financially and in attendance. We learn how to do it better every year, there's always something you can improve on."

This year's festivities kick off with 10 area bands competing to represent the BRBS in the 2011 International Blues Challenge, followed by stellar performances by 2010 IBC Finalists Labron Lazenby & L.A. 3, Sean Chambers and power-blues combo, the Nouveaux Honkies.

"We hope that every year we can get artists with bigger names to bring in more people. I hope to one day be able to book B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray or the likes", says Hurley. "I feel we are getting closer to the mark every year, we just need to stay on course and continue to do it for the right reason - the music. I believe that Blues music deserves to be heard and appreciated. I think that it is an important part of our culture and the festival gives us a chance to celebrate that."

The Blues Society donates a portion of the Blue Ridge Blues & BBQ festival's proceeds to the Music Lab at Jefferson Center. To date, the BRBS has made cumulative donations approaching $10,000 to the Music Lab and hopes to carry on that tradition again this year. www.blueridgeblues.org

July 22-25 - FloydFest 9 - Breaking Ground - Floyd, VA
Featuring: Levon Helm Band, Old Crow Medicine Show, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Galactic, Railroad Earth, JJ Grey & Mofro, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Soulive and much more.
In less than a decade, Floydfest has emerged as the definitive family camping and outdoor concert experience in the Mid-Atlantic. Floydfest stays true to its fit for all approach towards the programming, touting 8 stages, a beer and wine garden and the ever-popular Children's Universe. Key hallmark traits of FloydFest in season's past, have been the sheer diversity of the performers and its spotlight on world music. Breaking Ground's musical assembly is no exception to the rule drumming up a notably more aggressive roster than previous efforts.

"Every year that the Festival is going on, I pay close attention to the audience and the crowd in general, observing how they're interacting to one another and the music. I then study the trends in what the audience wants and needs. Doing this, along with investigating the Festival scene in general keeps me one step ahead and ready to implement the freshest program possible. Our audience expects something unique and special each year so I'm always on my toes", says Kris Hodges - chief think tank and driving force behind Across the Way Productions.

FF9 will unveil its innovative, new landscape installment called the Performing Art Space, which will feature Flam Chen - an eclectic theater troupe from Tucson Arizona that performs routines 100' in the air, suspended by a group of helium balloons. AtWP staff is cooking up a bevy of other surprises that are under close wraps until the Festival.

"The concept behind the "Breaking Ground" theme speaks to the difficulty in cultivating any idea in such bizarre times and with no money. It's been 9 years since we planted the seed that is FloydFest. There have been many trials and growing pains for us along the way and in the world generally", says Hodges. "We now see that FF is firmly rooted and truly Breaking Ground. It's amazing what by hardworking individuals who bring integrity and vision to their efforts can be achieve. It's even better when large groups of people relate and respond to it! FloydFest to me proves that one can achieve anything that one sets their mind to. It's great to see the initial vision come to fruition and I'm very proud of that. You won't find a cleaner, happier and more tolerant and diverse event and audience anywhere. It proves that large gatherings can be enriching to one's life and that the joyful experience that one has at the Festival continues long after the last note has been played." www.floydfest.com

Sikiru Adepoju, Davy Knowles, Andy Hess, Keller Willams and Tim Bluhm among this summer's Devils.


For nearly three decades they were the two-headed, eight-limbed, polyrhythmic engine that drove the Grateful Dead. Now, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart are the Rhythm Devils, and when the veteran percussionists take to the road this summer, even the most Deadicated of fans will be in for some big surprises.


"The music is quite different," says Kreutzmann. "It's real groove-based. It has lots of percussion and electronics. It's very danceable. It's gonna be quite a mix up there."

Hart says, "This music will take you to a very special place, I think. It's like a super friendly rhythm snake that has wrapped itself around the world a few times and now it's coming our way. It's electric; it's got rhythm, has words and flies. It's the Rhythm Devils."

Joining Hart and Kreutzmann in the Rhythm Devils for this tour will be Nigerian talking drum master Sikiru Adepoju, returning from the last RD tour in 2006, Back Door Slam's Davy Knowles (guitar, vocals) and Andy Hess (bass). Plus one-man-band Keller Williams (guitar, vocals) makes his first run as a Devil, joining the band on select dates, as does The Mother Hips' Tim Bluhm (guitar, vocals).

The Rhythm Devils name has its origins in the late '70s. As Hart explains, "I remember Jerry looking at Bill and I one time. He shook his head and just said, 'You guys are Rhythm Devils.'"

But the 2010 incarnation of the Rhythm Devils is guaranteed to be unlike anything that's come before--the dynamic mix of the musicians' individual but complementary styles and approaches is sure to lead to some serious sparks. "It's a great combination," says Hart. "You have the deep trance music from Nigeria and West Africa that Sikiru brings to us and there's Davy who at any moment just might rip the sky apart with his guitar and Andy Hess is a real gem of a bass player. Joining us for the first part of the tour is the 'one man band' Keller Williams and on the second part of our tour is Tim Bluhm, who will bring his ferocious California guitar style and beautiful vocals to the mix."

While both Hart and Kreutzmann promise that the music will be percussion-driven, another factor contributing to the Rhythm Devils' special mojo is the troupe's repertoire: Not only will they be reconstituting some familiar Grateful Dead tunes in their unique way, but the Devils will also be performing numerous tunes written exclusively for them by Robert Hunter, the legendary songwriter whose collaborations with the late Jerry Garcia provided the Dead with their most beloved and durable material.

"Robert Hunter is a major force in all of this. He has written his heart out in these new songs," says Hart. "There will also be enormous, exciting electronic sections of pulsing, throbbing, beautiful zones. There are places and sounds still unknown and unborn that we will no doubt visit."

Kreutzmann and Hart have been inextricably entwined as partners since they first met in 1967, two years after the formation of the Grateful Dead with Kreutzmann the sole drummer. On that first night, they literally "played the city," walking around San Francisco with drumsticks banging on everything in sight. Hart joined them immediately and except for a brief hiatus in the '70s, the pair remained with the Dead until 1995, when Garcia's death signaled the end of an era. Since then, Kreutzmann and Hart have continued to make music both together (most recently in The Dead) and apart, but they both agree that a special chemistry takes place when their percussive minds are in sync.

"When we get together and we're in the groove it's a tractor beam," says Hart. "Anyone around that will be drawn in. But we always thought of the Grateful Dead, and anything that we did together, as a work in progress. This too is a work in progress and that's the best thing you could say. We're looking to the future with this kind of music. In the Grateful Dead we created a body of work that we'll not leave behind. But we also have an identity as the Rhythm Devils, and that's who we'll be."

When they're not working together as the Rhythm Devils, both Hart and Kreutzmann are involved in other projects. Kreutzmann plans to release a new album later this year with his other band, 7 Walkers, which features singer-songwriter Papa Mali (who has also been collaborating with Hunter on new material), multi-instrumentalist Matt Hubbard, and George Porter Jr. on bass.

Among Hart's recent endeavors is the tentatively titled Rhythms of the Universe, a project of enormous scope. Hart is currently working with leading scientists to capture raw light waves from Space and then transform those light waves into sound waves. Hart then uses those sounds to compose Universal music. Hart's goal is nothing less than exploring what the universe really sounds like, from the Big Bang to the galaxies, to the stars and planets and beyond.

But for both Kreutzmann and Hart, it's the upcoming Rhythm Devils tour that's got them most excited. "It's part of my lifelong partnership, my 40-year rhythmic experience, with Bill Kreutzmann," says Hart. "It's time for Bill and me to get together and explore new rhythms and take it to the next level. We share a unique rhythm and we've got some great guys with us who we're going to explore what it sounds like on this planet...star date; 2010."

iLa Mawana is an 8-piece original reggae movement based in Boston, MA. Recently named one of the Top 100 Hottest Unsigned Acts of 2009 by Music Connection Magazine, iLa Mawana will be releasing their home-brewed, 12-track studio album SOLDIERS OF SOUND at Harper's Ferry in Allston, MA in May 2010.

Touring throughout the Northeast over the past three years, iLa Mawana has been committed to bringing people together and spreading positive energy to those around them.  Dubbed "One of the best roots/jam bands coming out of Boston" -Ingenious Concepts, the band independently released a self-titled 6-track EP (2009) recorded and mixed in iLa Mawana's home studio in Brighton.  The album resonates the warmth of the family, featuring thick rhythmic roots and well-blended vocal and horn melodies.

Developing a strong reputation for tight pocket reggae grooves, iLa Mawana has put together a cohesive group of new songs for the upcoming album that capture their energy with captivating new melodies.

The group has performed alongside reggae legends The Original Wailers as well as 2009 Grammy Winner Burning Spear, Groundation & Toubab Krewe.  With great local support from 88.9 WERS Rockers, iLa Mawana is becoming increasingly popular in the Northeast with a hook-oriented vintage roots sound that's gritty enough to separate them from the majority of modern reggae bands.
