“mix of Neil Young meets Jackson Browne style” – Glide

On his seventeenth album, singer-songwriter Anders Osborne describes 2024’s Picasso’s Villa, “a condensed story about living in America between 2018-2021. The fears, confusion, deep joy and peace achieved through true friendship, family, community, hours of meditation and detachment from ego.”
Further, Osborne has been in a twelve-step program for fifteen years. He explains, “The biggest change in getting sober was the focus on meditation and prayer, just looking more inward. When I’m sleeping in 140 different beds a year, eating unhealthy foods, meditation is what keeps me centered. Holding myself in that sacred space for a while is what makes it possible for me to do all this.”
After living and performing in New Orleans for almost four decades, Osborne has become a fixture of that musical community. Thus, Guitar Player called him “the poet laureate of Louisiana’s fertile roots music scene.” Also, New Orleans’ Gambit Weekly honored Osborne as Entertainer of The Year. Additionally, OffBeat named him the Crescent City’s Best Guitarist on three occasions, and the Best Songwriter twice. He has appeared at Jazz Fest for over thirty-five years.
In addition to his solo shows, Osborne performed with the North Mississippi All-Stars, Toots and the Maytals, and John Scofield. Also, The Meters, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Stanton Moore, Phil Lesh, Jackie Greene, Bonnie Raitt, Dr. John, and Taj Mahal. Osborne appeared as himself in an episode of the HBO series Treme. Also, he taught a course about art and the music business at Tulane University. Osborne has collaborated with Steve Earle at the annual Camp Copperhead songwriting camp since 2019.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

“musical mixture of classical, jazz, and rock” – AllMusic

No one can argue Blood, Sweat & Tears invented a new style of music. BS&T is not the first band to ever use a horn section, but they are the first to fuse it with rock, jazz, and some blues thrown in for good measure.
The first version of the band, in the late sixties, would practice in a loft in New York’s Greenwich Village. Crowds would gather on the street below and applaud between songs! Founding member and drummer Bobby Colomby knew they had hit on something special. Since then, the band has never stopped touring for over fifty years.
The first Blood, Sweat & Tears album, Child is Father to the Man, was released to little fanfare. After the band member changes (notably replacing the lead singer), the second album, Blood Sweat & Tears, was a success. It rose to the top of the charts for seven weeks and yielded three top 5 singles. The album received the Grammy for Album of the Year in 1970, beating out the Beatles’ Abbey Road. That album went on to earn quadruple Platinum status, with sales of well over 4 million units and induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In total, the band has received ten Grammy nominations, winning three.
Blood Sweat & Tears performed on Sunday, August 17, 1969, at Woodstock, the same day as Jimi Hendrix and other great bands.
Blood Sweat & Tears has had many configurations over its fifty-plus years of touring but one thing for sure is that the music is timeless, and fans are never disappointed. BS&T tours with the greatest musicians available, stars in their own right (most coming off major tours with other artists).
To this day Bobby Colomby still hand-picks the musicians for every tour. Colomby still uses the same theory: “Great Musicians Make Great Music”.

The Belfast Cowboys
2026-07-25 19:00 - 21:00
“conjures up the spirit and the songs of Ireland’s greatest export” – Chicago Tribune

The Belfast Cowboys is a nine-piece, horn-driven band from Minneapolis that specializes in the music of Van Morrison. Entering their third decade, they are adept at mixing rock, blues, roots and soul sounds. Led by veteran songwriter/guitarist Terry Walsh, the Cowboys have flourished in the renowned Minnesota music scene. They have consistently packed houses and wowed crowds since 2002.
Terry Walsh got his start playing in various Twin Cities rock bands. He toured as Slim Dunlap’s bass player in 1997, opening for Son Volt. In 2001 Terry hit upon the idea of forming a Van Morrison tribute band. Terry spent the rest of the year learning Van songs and building an all-star band. The band played their first show at the old 400 Bar on Saint Patrick’s Day 2002.
Many musicians have played with the band, but the ‘A’ team was soon established. It includes Dan Kowalke (guitar, vocals, Joe Baumgart (bass), Dave Kirby and Dave Haugen (drums, backing vocals), Joe Loskota (keyboards, backing vocals). The horn section includes Paul Gronert (sax), Matt Hanzelka (trombone), Tim Martin (trumpet), Vic Volare (sax, flute). Bandleader Terry Walsh (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica, piano).
The band has expanded its content over the years to include rock and soul covers. Terry’s own originals have become fan favorites. Now a beloved staple in Minnesota, the 9-piece Belfast Cowboys averaged over 120 shows a year before the pandemic. The bar-tested troubadours are known for playing epic sets at their weekly Minneapolis gigs and drawing crowds to outdoor festivals. Occasionally they’ll venture beyond the Midwest to play Ireland, Phoenix, and New York’s Times Square. Once they opened for the band Chicago in front of 15,000 people.

Soul Asylum feat. Ivan Neville
2026-08-05 19:00 - 21:00
“melding rock intensity with sing-along melodies… gritty” – Glide

Soul Asylum formed more than forty years ago. Now, they remain one of the most inspiring and hardworking bands in the rock scene. Here, this is thanks to their raucous and emphatic combination of punk energy, guitar-fueled firepower, and rhythmic heft. Frontman Dave Pirner’s songs range from aggressive to heartfelt, driven by lyrics that are a mix of real-life personal insights and fictional situations. Live, the Minneapolis group possesses a formidable stage presence bristling with ragged energy and gritty, locked-in grooves. Current members include drummer Michael Bland (Prince / Paul Westerberg), lead guitarist Ryan Smith and bassist Jeremy Tappero.
Initially known as Loud Fast Rules, Soul Asylum formed in the early 1980s, when Pirner was still in high school. There, they quickly became part of the celebrated Minneapolis music scene along with peers like The Replacements and Hüsker Dü. Soul Asylum entered the major-label world with 1988’s Hang Time. Then, they released And the Horse They Rode In On, an album produced by current Rolling Stones drummer Steve Jordan. The band broke through commercially with the double-platinum 1992 album Grave Dancers Union. Also, this contained the Grammy-winning Billboard Top Five hit “Runaway Train” and Number One modern rock smash “Somebody to Shove.” After leaping to this mainstream success, the band kept up the momentum with 1995’s platinum Let Your Dim Light Shine. This featured the hit “Misery,” and led to appearances on the soundtracks of cult classics Chasing Amy and Clerks.
In recent years, Soul Asylum reissued several of their earlier releases. Here, this includes expanded and remastered editions of their first four original albums.

Peter Himmelman
2026-08-20 19:00 - 21:00
“One of rock’s most wildly imaginative performers.” – USA Today

To a standard-bearer like Peter Himmelman, writing, recording, and releasing new music is an essential part of living. For example, former Rolling Stone senior editor Parke Puterburgh recently referenced his consistent output in Stereo Review. Himmelman “is on the same plane as Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, and Bruce Springsteen and nudging his way to ‘Dylanhood’”.
Himmelman’s latest, 2020’s Press On, captures the immediacy of Himmelman’s new songs. Further, it leaves his fervent vocals and guitar front and center. There, the recording process for Press On took just under four days. However, writing the songs, refining them, and deciding which of his more than forty new songs would make the final cut, began over three years prior.
For Himmelman, songwriting has long been a process of self-discovery. “There are technical tricks one needs to master. But for me the real work lies in transcending the mechanics of songwriting, and inhabiting that space beyond the rational mind,” he says.
The music on Press On is both emotionally and musically varied, from R&B-flavored piano ballads to incessant New Orleans funk. At times, Himmelman’s steely Telecaster is reminiscent of two of his principal influences — Howlin’ Wolf and John Lee Hooker. There, it threads itself through lyrics that seem culled from our current moment.
“Press On is tellingly titled and deeply considered, a further example of Himmelman’s ability to go below the surface of any circumstance and find wisdom, revelation, and empowerment in the process.” — American Songwriter

The Devon Allman Project:
2026-08-23 19:00 - 21:00
“Allman has found a way to extend his family’s amazing musical lineage on his own terms.” – Premier Guitar

Devon Allman’s sound lands right in the middle of some of the most soulful rock. Here, Allman celebrates twenty years since the release of his first album and national tour. Additionally, this special show will include material from each of Devon’s projects. These include The Allman Betts Band, Devon Allman’s Blues Summit, Royal Southern Brotherhood, Honey Tribe, and Devon Allman & Donavon Frankenreiter’s Rollers. Also, they will play select Allman Brothers songs.
Devon Allman gained wide recognition through projects such as Honey Tribe and later as co-founder of Royal Southern Brotherhood. There, this supergroup-style ensemble showcased his soulful vocals and guitar work alongside other acclaimed musicians. Devon has built an independent career that honors the jam band and blues traditions. Meanwhile, he maintains a modern, polished tone and original songwriting voice.
Here, he has released multiple albums and toured extensively. Thus, he earned a reputation for dynamic live shows, strong musicianship, and a style that blends blues, rock, soul, and improvisational “jam” elements into a distinctive contemporary Southern sound.

Since 2018, GA-20 has been at the forefront of a traditional Blues revival. The dynamic throwback trio have long been disciples of the place where traditional Blues, Country and Rock ‘n’ Roll intersect. “We make records that we would want to listen to,” says guitarist Matt Stubbs. “It’s our take on the song-based traditional electric Blues we love.” Stubbs, along with guitarist & vocalist Cody Nilsen and drummer Josh Kiggans, strive to bring traditional Blues to the front lines of the modern roots music scene. “The focus for us has always been on the story, the melody, and on creating a mood,” Stubbs continues. “Traditional Country and Soul have all had these massive recent revivals. We want to be part of doing that for traditional Blues music.”
GA-20 has drawn inspiration for their old-school sounds from the music they love by artists such as Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Earl Hooker, Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson and so many others. Performing with what feels like reckless abandon, GA-20 brings a timeless immediacy to every song they play with a sound that continues to grow and evolve. The band uses vintage instruments and amps to produce their authentic sound, and favours traditional recording techniques, like recording live off the floor together in one room, to help recreate that energy and sonic connection.
In their short history, GA-20 have been 3x #1 Billboard Blues chart toppers, 4x Boston Music Award winners for Best Blues Act, and have received multiple wins and nominations at the Blues Music Awards, Blues Blast Awards, New England Blues Awards, and have ascended streaming and radio charts at home and internationally. Medium.com has appropriately declared, “This is the kind of music that travels through time while taking from the era where it was born and turning it into something fresh. Dirty and raw…timeless and modern.”

“soaring harmonies, lilting love songs, and rollicking Southern rockers” – No Depression

Pure Prairie League continues to embellish its rich fifty-plus year history of one of country-rock’s pioneering forces. There, they began in mid-Sixties Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes. Now, the present-day unit features the propulsive team of drummer Scott Thompson and bassist Jared Camic. Additionally, keyboard master Randy Harper, guitar ace/vocalist Jeff Zona and pedal steel/saxophonist John Heinrich. Here, as one reviewer recently wrote: “PPL’s sound combines sweet memories with edgy, contemporary muscle. Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight razor”.
PPL’s eponymous first album has been hailed as a major early influence in the emerging popularity of country-rock music. Then, their second effort, the multi-platinum Bustin’ Out featured the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”, along with other gems of the genre. Also, over several albums and countless shows, a legacy has been forged and enriched. The band has enjoyed contributions from several noteworthy members, including original co-founder George Ed Powell, and Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers. Also, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (three Top twenty singles), top Nashville session vocalist Curtis Wright and others. Furthermore, they have featured guest appearances from Chet Atkins, Johnny Gimble, Emmylou Harris, David Sanborn, Don Felder (Eagles), and more.
Moreover, the new generation: Keith Urban, Nickel Creek, Wilco, Counting Crows and more cite PPL as a major influence.
Now, with the release of 2024’s Back On Track, PPL brings it all back home with a dozen new songs. Here, they complete the circle begun in 1970 and continues to this day.

“Scofield is one of the most prolific and admired jazz musicians of his generation” – NPR

Through his fifty-four-year career, three-time Grammy Award winner John Scofield has occasionally detoured from the traditions of straight-ahead jazz. There, he explores a blend of funk and jazz that has led to some of his most popular projects. In 2026, Scofield looks back at many of his now classic fusion groove compositions with Electrospective.
Not intending to replicate earlier fan favorites, he plans instead to revisit them with the seasoned perspective of several decades. Here, he culls tunes from his Blue Matter, Uberjam, and AGoGo bands, each responsible for a few recordings. Additionally, he will play new material in the same vein.
Moreover, Scofield looks forward to teaming up with a stellar band of colleagues. Electrospective will rely on interpretative input from Scofield alum and super funk drummer/producer Adam Deitch (Lettuce). Also, multidimensional Larry Goldings (Scary Goldings, James Taylor) on keyboards. Additionally, legendary bassist Oteil Burbridge (Dead & Co., Tedeschi Trucks, Allman Brothers). With this repertoire so frequently (and loudly) requested by audience members, Scofield is glad to have a band that will truly do the music justice.
