Tribeca New Music presents POLITICS and PREMIERES featuring six new works, including the world premiere of LOSER: The Wit and Wisdom of Donald J. Trump 45th President of the United States of America, a five-part musical portrait written for five instruments and voice by composer Arthur Gottschalk, and sung by baritone Timothy Jones.

That’s where Dierks Bentley finds himself, 20 years into an exceptional career in 21st century country music, with plans to release his 10th studio album GRAVEL & GOLD on Feb. 24. It’s a diverse, 14-track album about perspective and self-awareness at many levels from the personal to the professional.

Molly Tuttle and her band, Golden Highway, made their late-night television debut this past Friday performing their song, “Crooked Tree,” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The performance adds to a landmark year for Tuttle, who is nominated for Best New Artist and Best Bluegrass Album (Crooked Tree) at the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Watch the video now!

The third single from The Gibson Brothers’ upcoming Jerry Douglas-produced LP, Darkest Hour, “One Minute Of You (Song For Annie Gray)” rides a galloping acoustic guitar foundation with minimal percussion and tasty electric guitar and fiddle flourishes. The song, like most of the Gibson’s catalog, feels equally at home on stage.

American music masters Sam Bush, Mike Marshall, and Edgar Meyer join with George Meyer for a special collaboration unlike anything you've seen at the WYO on Saturday January 28 at 7pm.

Upcoming stops include Mobile’s Mobile Civic Center (two nights), Tampa’s Yuengling Center, St. Augustine’s St. Augustine Amphitheatre (three nights), Phoenix’s Arizona Financial Theatre, Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, Austin’s Moody Center (two nights), Tulsa’s BOK Center, St. Louis’ Chaifetz Arena and Chicago’s Huntington Bank Pavilion.

MerleFest, presented by Window World, has just added another huge list of performers to its already stacked 2023 lineup—which featured headliners like The Avett Brothers and Maren Morris.

Alongside the original thirteen songs from Crooked Tree, the deluxe edition features new renditions of the Grateful Dead’s “Dire Wolf” and traditional folk song, “Cold Rain and Snow,” also made famous by the Grateful Dead, as well as live versions of album tracks “Dooley’s Farm” (feat. special guest Jerry Douglas) and “Castilleja.”

The Red Rocks dates add to Strings’ extensive 2023 headline tour, which includes 15 arena shows with stops at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (2 nights, both sold out), Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena (3 nights), Charlottesville’s John Paul Jones Arena (2 nights), Atlanta’s State Farm Arena and Charleston’s North Charleston Coliseum.

Me/And/Dad, GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Billy Strings’ first album with his father, Terry Barber, is out now on Rounder Records. The product of a longtime dream, the record features new versions of fourteen bluegrass and country classics that the two have been playing together since Strings was a young child. 

Billy Strings will bring his headline tour to arenas this winter with confirmed shows at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (two nights), Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena (three nights), Charlottesville’s John Paul Jones Arena (two nights), Atlanta’s State Farm Arena and Charleston’s North Charleston Coliseum (two nights) among others.

The new album will feature Dierks Bentley, Aiofe O’Donovan, Vince Gill, Billy Strings, Sarah Jarosz, Jon Fishman, Marty Stuart, and that’s barely scratching the surface.

Boston's own Twisted Pine is coming back to Club Passim after a long summer on the road. The award-winning bluegrass Americana group will debut new songs with a combination of their own hits and covers.

Dan Tyminski wasn’t really a six-string picker, favoring mandolin or banjo when he joined the jam—until he heard Tony Rice, that is. Hearing Rice kick-off “Ten Degrees and Getting Colder” with J.D. Crowe and the New South for the first time, Tyminski was overtaken by the sound, forever changing his trajectory as a musician.

Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway were featured on CBS Saturday Morning this past weekend as part of their “Saturday Sessions” series, performing three songs from Tuttle’s acclaimed new album, Crooked Tree: “She’ll Change,” “Over the Line” and the title track. Watch the performances now!
