SUMMARY:Blood\, Sweat & Tears
DESCRIPTION:“musical mixture of classical\, jazz\, and rock” – AllMusic\n  \nNo 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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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.  \nBlood Sweat & Tears performed on Sunday\, August 17\, 1969\, at Woodstock\, the same day as Jimi Hendrix and other great bands. \nBlood 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).  \nTo this day Bobby Colomby still hand-picks the musicians for every tour. Colomby still uses the same theory: “Great Musicians Make Great Music”. \nRecommended for fans of Chicago\, Tower of Power\, Traffic and Steely Dan.

SUMMARY:The Devon Allman Project:
DESCRIPTION:“Allman has found a way to extend his family’s amazing musical lineage on his own terms.” – Premier Guitar\n  \nDevon 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. \nDevon 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. \nHere\, 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. \n  \n \nSince 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.”  \nGA-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.  \nIn 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.” \nRecommended for fans of The Allman Brothers\, Tab Benoit\, Tedeschi Trucks Band and The Black Crowes. \n📸: Venla Shalin

SUMMARY:John Scofield's Electrospective
DESCRIPTION:“Scofield is one of the most prolific and admired jazz musicians of his generation” – NPR\n  \nThrough 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.  \nNot 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.  \nMoreover\, 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. \nRecommended for fans of Pat Metheny\, Lettuce\, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe and Medeski\, Martin & Wood.
