Max Gomez & Friends

Friday December 26th, 2025 • 7:30 pm • doors at 6:30pm
21+ with valid ID (under 21 admitted only if accompanied by parent or adult legal guardian)

Tickets $25-$30 GA
$40 Early Entry

-----

Singer/Songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country blues early on and developed a songwriting style that was uniquely his. As a budding performer, Max apprenticed in the rarefied musical micro-climate of northern New Mexico, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a Western folk sound both cosmic and country.

He received critical acclaim upon the release of his debut album Rule The World (2013, New West Records); and his subsequent EP, Me and Joe (2017, Brigadoon Records), contained a freshly minted classic, “Make It Me.”

He has shared billing on hundreds of stages with stalwarts of the genre like James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Tommy James & The Shondells, Jeff Beck, and Johnny Depp. Judging by the company he keeps, Gomez is poised to emerge as a prominent voice of Americana’s next generation. The forthcoming album, Memory Mountain, is set to be released in August 2025.

Location: Program participants will be met at the entrance gate to the Garden, just outside of the visitor center.

Cost: Adults – $12, Members – $10

Join us for a morning bird walk to observe who is visiting the Garden. We’ll be watching for resident birds as well as migratory birds resting in the Garden. No need to be a birding expert, we’ll even provide binoculars if you need them.

We are honored to perform at La Luz de Las Noches at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden.

Enjoy the sparkle of the lights, the warmth of the season, and live music from Una Más y La ChaCha inside a heated tent designed to keep everyone comfortable.

A perfect winter night in Santa Fe.

September 27, October 25, November 29, December 27
We're here to take you down an audio-visual journey into the shadows, we celebrate the setting sun and the dance continues.

The Darkwave Lounge will manifest in the common area and the front porch of the DL at the 18th hour, or Six O'clock, each month on the last Saturday. In these manifestations, we evoke Billiamzebub & AudioBuddha our house DJs and collaborators, Hieronymus J & Julian Addams our hosts and house VJs, and the denizens of the City Different and beyond who wish to ride a darker wave.

This music focused evening will feature darkwave, post punk, synthpop, goth and techno in an environment that welcomes dancing and conversation. Our dance floor is waiting, and it is currently concrete. While we likely will have a few areas with throw-rugs, please be aware and prepared with appropriate footwear. We'll have shade during the day and we'll light up the night. We encourage folks to wear layers to accommodate the weather's whims- the Darkwave Lounge manifests in rain or shine.

We'll have a booth with cool sparkling waters and other refreshments available by donation. No bar, simply hydration and snack options. (Hot teas available for cool spring nights!)

No unsupervised children, no pets. 18+ after 10pm

The DL SF is a multi-use studio space. Radically queer, antiracist. Bigots are never welcome. Folks acting inappropriately will be asked to leave.

Last show of the year! Dance vibe will be on overdrive!

Popular high energy covers and originals: Lenny Kravitz, Blondie, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains, 80s New Wave, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd, and more!

Vanilla Pop 2025 Holiday Show at Tumbleroot

YES WE ARE A "SHOW"

...and we love the theatrical and visual aspect of the performance, but we also take the music very seriously.

At the end of the night, after the sequins have faded from memory, we know that it's the music and delivery which leave a lasting impression. We would be embarrassed if we didn't knock you out both vocally and instrumentally.

We need to know that we delivered our very best...

every time. And we do.

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR

...at your event, are all original (thumpin') dance arrangements and recordings. There are absolutely no karaoke tracks or midi compositions.

We use two 16-track state of the art synths/sequencers

to record all of our material.

From the drum tracks to the horn lines, everything you hear has been meticulously re-created to bring the original renditions to life as best as possible. But that's not all...

We've also added string and horn sections to many songs, giving them a one of a kind orchestral sound. If you've ever wanted to hear a Jackson 5 or Prince tune with a full orchestra...you will.

After all of the tracks are recorded, we then perform the songs live with real time instrumentation.

It's really good.

De’Anza, a Mexican-American artist and producer/multi instrumentalist, is known for creating an eclectic mix of music sourced from various ends of the musical spectrum. Taking cues from traditional styles and landing somewhere between the hypnotic and the primal , she crosses borders and boundaries, resulting in a new fusion. Elements of Latin, folklore, electronic, and tribal are creatively merged, establishing De’Anza as a breath of fresh air. As a producer, she is known for mixing live instruments with electronic beats and samples, delivering an inviting harmonic experience for audiences and listeners.

Originating from Santa Fe, New Mexico, an area defined by convergent cultures and rich folk art, De’Anza initially journeyed west to Los Angeles on a mission to develop her own musical identity and connect with the global music scene. Her emergence in the industry was quickly met with critical praise, and local fanfare.

On both Christmas Eve & New Years Eve the sounds of the holidays will fill the air at Rio Chama Steak House with the one and only Doug Montgomery.

Doug Montgomery is the entertainment jewel of Santa Fe, New Mexico.  He has been called “gifted,” “best in the world at what he does” and “the finest pianist” by mega fans like champion sportsman Arnold Palmer, Grammy winner Susan Graham and Broadway luminary Michael Feinstein. 

From Chopin to Standards, Bach to Broadway, the Beatles and Michael Buble’, Doug shines with his ability to capture a song’s soul and his inspired lyrical interpretations.

Born and raised in Chicago, this engaging artist walked into a music class at age 10 and fell hopelessly in love with a baby grand piano and the thousand different ways it could communicate. A Bachelor’s degree in music from Northwestern University and a Masters from iconic Juilliard were quickly followed by a slew of prestigious awards.

And then his real education began.

With classical concerts scheduled farther apart than he wished, Doug began appearing at piano bars, where his classical/pop/American songbook repertoire expanded rapidly in direct ratio to his reputation. In short order, he could play the soundtrack of anyone’s life – in their key!  – while displaying an uncanny skill for remembering his best customer’s names and favorite songs even years later. He also became adept at both improvisational riff and seamlessly weaving disparate songs together in on-the-spot arrangements, his fingers flying or easing across the keyboard. By the time he landed in Santa Fe, NM in 1982, Doug was considered a superb saloon piano player …and was proud of it.

In decades since, Doug’s fame has spread internationally via cruise ship engagements and 25 years in Indian Wells, California as well as concerts throughout the US and performances for American Presidents, Ambassadors and Heads of State.  If you are in the market for a world-class entertainment experience with a man who can evoke your personal history through the most significant musical moments of your life, visit Santa Fe, New Mexico, drop by Rio Chama Steakhouse and enjoy the premier melodic storyteller of our time:  Doug Montgomery. He needs to be heard to be believed!

Will Sangster & The Fine Chaps’ Nautical Reflections Winter Tour is coming to Tumbleroot in Santa Fe this holiday season, featuring SF’s own, Jacob Shije, and tour-wide support from SLC's Chasin’ The Sky. We’d love to see you there!

WILL SANGSTER

Will Sangster is a Salt Lake City-based musician whose roots have run through several staple SLC bands, including Sundog Sky, The Magpipes, and The Medicine Company. Now, stepping into his solo project, he blends folk, surf-psych, blues, soul, and indie into a colorfully catchy, improvisational, and intimate sound. His debut full-length LP, Nautical Reflections-featuring album artwork by Denver's own, Wasso Kozlina IV-arrives Christmas Day. Recorded across several studios nationwide-Familiar Faces,' Bierman Productions, his own Resident Owl Records in Salt Lake, and Chris Hoffman’s, Three Toad Studio in Grand Haven, Michigan-capturing a diversely influenced collection of sonic postcards. As a side note, he is also the founder of the live events production company, Slingshot Productions, that hosts the Salty Toes Music Festival, which will be returning Labor Day Weekend of 2026.

JACOB SHIJE

Hailing from the enchanting Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico, Jacob Shije stands as a multifaceted creative force, seamlessly weaving his talents as an Indigenous musician, artist, and photographer. With roots deeply embedded in his ancestral heritage, Jacob's work exudes a powerful sense of cultural resonance and creativity. In a world where creativity knows no bounds, Jacob Shije thrives as a modern storyteller, using melodies, visuals, and art to paint a vivid tapestry of his experiences and identity. With every note he strums, every image he captures, he invites us to explore the rich tapestry of his Indigenous heritage and the universal language of artistic expression. Jacob Shije isn't just an artist; he's a cultural luminary, a bridge between the past and the future, a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.

CHASIN' THE SKY

The fire burned low as dusk fell over the Utah mountains while Chasin’ the Sky played on-grounded, present, and tuned to the land. The acoustic duo blends folk, world, flamenco, Latin, and jazz-blues into a living, earth-rooted sound touched by something ancient. Skye Quinonez’s voice rises like thunder on the ridge, met by Chase Kemp’s wind-like harmonies. Their music moves like weather-raw, textured, and full of motion. More than concerts, their performances become shared rituals, shaped by connection and the energy of the room. From ecstatic highs to slow melancholic lows, the experience feels less like listening and more like remembering something long forgotten.

Piff the Magic Dragon’s All-Star Vegas
Get ready for a night of magic, comedy, and jaw-dropping spectacle as Piff the Magic Dragon’s All-Star Vegas takes the stage!

Hosted by the beloved America’s Got Talent finalist and Vegas headliner Piff the Magic Dragon, this high-energy show features an all-star cast of AGT fan favorites, Cirque du Soleil performers, and surprise guests.

Packed with mind-blowing illusions, hilarious moments, and circus-style thrills, it’s a one-of-a-kind Vegas-style experience the whole family will love.

Don’t miss it—this is Vegas like you’ve never seen it before!

Depending on the game, an Ace can be the highest or lowest card, zero or infinity. A breakup feels similar—one path crumbles, while all others remain infinitely possible. How do you write about heartbreak when you’re going through it? Ace, GRAMMY award-winner Madison Cunningham’s third record for Verve Forecast, tracks every part of it: falling out of love, having your heart broken, and then falling in love again. Co-produced by Cunningham and Robbie Lackritz (Feist, Rilo Kiley, Bahamas, Peach Pit), the fourteen-track album is honest and full of heart, even as it breaks.

Ace builds off of the success of Revealer (2022), a darkly funny portrait of an artist that won Cunningham her GRAMMY for “Best Folk Album,” but it is a different record. A slow burn until it wasn’t. It follows a period of writer's block. On Revealer and her debut album Who Are You Now (2019), Cunningham says that she was writing songs about heartbreak, but they weren’t about her heartbreak. They were sketches, observations. Cunningham wanted Ace to be emotions first. Heartbreaking and lush and bold.

Cunningham’s first single from Ace, “My Full Name,” was released to praise by PASTE who calls the lyrics, “simultaneously sprawling and intimate,” recalling “an ancient work of poetry.” On Ace, which Cunningham serves as co-producer, she wanted piano to move into the foreground. “I wanted it to feel like a mountain peak,” says Cunningham, “I wanted Ace to feel like a mountain we built together.” Ace is a record that feels alive and lush in all the ways Cunningham hoped for when she started writing. It is a record of mastery and honesty. Cunningham loves every single song on it. You can tell.

A monthly pop-up offering free art supplies to the community, the Community Art Closet is open every third Saturday from 11 AM to 1 PM at our Annex Gallery. Browse a wide variety of donated materials—sketchbooks, fabric, markers, brushes, beads, yarn, and more. Bring a bag and take what inspires you—everything is free and open to all!

WILLIAM ELLIOTT WHITMORE
Born and raised on a small farm in Lee County Iowa, a love of the land has always been an important part of William Elliott Whitmore’s life. An appreciation for nature and its cycles being taught from an early age. That awareness of birth and death is a constant theme in the songwriting, through a lens of hopefulness and acceptance. These things unify us as people, a theme that is often explored in the music. With a banjo, guitar and kick drum, Whitmore seeks to convey these ideas. For over twenty years he has traveled the world, performing everywhere from Rome, Italy to Rome, Georgia. He’s played basements, backyards, festival stages, and Carnegie Hall, and has no plans to stop anytime soon. “Life is hard, nasty, and unforgiving at times”, Whitmore says, “but it’s beautiful too, and music can be a reminder of what we all have in common, a desire to keep putting one foot in front of the other.”

Hayes Carll isn’t preaching or teaching. He’s not interested in telling the rest of us what to do or think. But he is charting out a personal guide for his life, quieting the noise, and sitting with his real voice - the one that’s candid, consistent, and often inconvenient.

We’re Only Human is Carll’s tenth album. Like his best lyrics, it is also an understated masterpiece, an honest snapshot of one man’s confrontation and delight with humanity’s biggest and most intimate questions. Where do we find forgiveness for ourselves and grace for others? How do we hold on to peace of mind and stay present? What can we—and should we––trust? And how can we moor ourselves to, well, ourselves, in the midst of confusing, trying times? We’re Only Human offers audiences the chance to listen to Carll as he listens to himself.

“I’ve lived outside of myself for so long,” Carll admits. “Distractions, fear, anxiety, insecurity, and the complexity of being human in this world have so often pulled me away from being present or at peace.”

“I feel like there’s been a voice riding shotgun all my life, pushing me to do better, but I’ve struggled to listen to it,” Carll says. “The idea behind this record was to do the personal work I needed to do, then codify those lessons in song to serve as sort of breadcrumbs to get me back on the trail if, and inevitably when, I get lost again.”

Carll is more than two decades into a celebrated career. Praise from places such as Pitchfork and the New York Times––the latter of which yoked Carll’s ability to tackle tough issues with wry humor to Bob Dylan––punctuate a resume that includes Americana Music Awards and a Grammy nomination. His songs aren’t safe, but many of Nashville’s stars have recorded them, including Kenny Chesney, Lee Ann Womack, and Brothers Osborne. As a solo recording artist, Carll has long-since established himself as one of Americana’s most-played––and most loved––voices. His warm but crackling vocals, wit, and heart dance through wordplay that’s always clever, and never too precious. Through it all, whenever Carll points a finger, it’s most often at himself.

As We’re Only Human collects moments of Carll figuring out how to be with himself, the songs feel forthright, hopeful, and timely. In today’s onslaught of instant gratification, rage-baiting headlines, glorified intolerance, and falling empathy, the record is a startling outlier: an artist’s raw, real-life effort to live well—both with himself and others. Carll embraces private epiphanies, and shares them with the world, allowing them to unfold for all to see and share.

Of course, We’re Only Human is also art. So while appreciating the motivation and compelling themes driving it will underpin the listener’s experience, Carll’s album also matters because of the sheer brilliance of its execution. These are songs composed by a writer’s writer, wielding his considerable skill with precision and beauty.

The album’s title track unfolds with plaintive piano and a mantle of grace. Carll sings, with a calming sincerity, “We’ll do most anything to avoid the pain / Hiding our hearts and casting the blame / 6,000 tongues, but we’re all the same / Ain’t no need to carry that shame / ‘Cause we’re only human.”

Hard-won minutes of quiet clarity inspired some of the record’s most beautiful moments. Accented by bright mandolin and soft, simple percussion, “Stay Here a While” captures a peaceful reprieve from a racing mind. “I remember sitting on the couch, looking out the window, watching the birds do their thing,” Carll says with a laugh. “I got lost in their lives for a moment, and it was such a wonderful feeling because my mind is always going in circles, seeking excitement, and frankly, just thinking about myself. I enjoyed the peace I felt in that moment and I thought, this is lovely and I’d like to stay in this place.” Carll shared that takeaway with MC Taylor, aka Hiss Golden Messenger, who not only could relate, but helped finish the song.

“High” offers another invitation to stop and breathe. Opening with a solo horn, flute, and stripped down piano, the track is lovely and sincere, with Carll’s signature humor hovering comfortably nearby. There are also times when Carll’s sharp wit comes roaring to the foreground. “Progress of Man (Bitcoin and Cattle)” sends up society’s disorienting––and conflicting––forces, while “Good People (Thank Me)” is a masterclass in comedic timing, stubborn humanism, and the untapped potential of gratitude.

A dogged insistence on acceptance, both of one’s self and others, courses through the album— as does Carll’s determination to hold himself accountable. “If I’m judging others, then I’m not having to look at myself,” Carll says. “I’m flawed as hell, judgmental, and critical of myself and those around me. That’s a loop that feeds itself. But I figure If I can look at myself clear-eyed and acknowledge my own shortcomings, it might help me have some grace and acceptance for myself and others.”

It’s that sort of harmonious duality––embracing one’s self and confessing one’s own mistakes––that solidifies the record’s big-hearted honesty. “The creative process was in large part a self-therapy session. I don’t think that would work if I was only looking at everyone else’s issues,” Carll says.

A moving series of grounding vignettes, realizations, and self-love roll through “What I Will Be,” as Carll promises to not compromise himself to fit in. A slow-burning, blues-tinged standout, “I Got Away with It” is painful and gorgeous. Brimming with hope, “One Day” balances the work Carll sees as necessary with the certainty that satisfaction, contentment, and peace are reachable by trusting in yourself and the universe.

Featuring a parade of Carll’s longtime friends, album closer “May I Never” is a plea to himself. As Ray Wylie Hubbard, Shovels & Rope, Darrell Scott, Nicole Atkins, and The Band of Heathens’ Gordy Quist and Ed Jurdi each take verses, listeners are swept up in a resolute promise to keep after good. “It brings up a lot for me when I hear them singing those lines,” Carll says. Each of those people - whether they know it or not - have played a part in my story, and it’s gratifying and humbling to me to have them lend their voices to this song.”

In the end, Carll’s latest album is a lovingly and purposefully written collection of reminders. “I hope other people find something in it, too” Carll says. “Through it all, I am trying to stayappreciative, knowing that I did what I set out to do: write something that can help me navigate this journey with a little more grace and peace.”

In 2017, Grammy-nominated artist Joan Osborne released the critically acclaimed album, Songs of Bob Dylan. Her artistic and soulful reinterpretations of the selection of Dylan songs was an eye-opening moment in an already celebrated career.

Eight years after milestone recording, Osborne will release the stunning Dylanology Live on April 25th. The captivating recording finds the gifted vocalist performing in front of a live audience, with special guests Amy Helm, Robert Randolph and Jackie Greene. Songs include “Spanish Harlem Incident”, “Buckets Of Rain” “Masters Of War”, “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You” and “High Water (For Charley Patton)”.

Throughout her three-decade, multi-Grammy nominated career, Joan Osborne has never been an artist confined to one space as she continues to seamlessly blend into any genre. Her incredible and distinctive voice always shines through her own songs, while she has also become one of her generation’s finest interpreters. Dylanology Live is yet another testament to her artistic range.

KT TUNSTALL
KT Tunstall has always lived in pursuit of creative evolution. The Grammy-nominated, Brit Award-winning Scottish artist made an indelible mark on the music world with her 2004 multi-platinum debut Eye to the Telescope, immediately establishing herself as a formidable force. Nearly two decades on, Tunstall’s career has spanned an eclectic array of genres - from introspective folk to blistering rock and experimental electro-pop - while she has remained one of the most iconic live performers of her generation, renowned for her extraordinary voice that shifts effortlessly from soulful to bluesy grit to delicate folk-pop. Her music embodies a balance of raw emotion and visceral energy, always remaining in constant service to memorable melody, while her live shows are punctuated by a warm and often hilarious rapport with her audience.

Tunstall’s breakthrough came in 2004 on the revered UK music show Later… with Jools Holland. A last-minute addition to the lineup after rapper Nas dropped out, Tunstall took to the stage armed with just her guitar, a loop pedal, and a tambourine on the floor. “Do that new ‘Woo Hoo’ one,” her Label Boss suggested. So she did - and the rest, as they say, is history. Her stripped-back yet electrifying performance of “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” captivated audiences instantly, propelling her to global fame. In a pre-looppedal revolution era, long before artists like Ed Sheeran popularized its use, Tunstall stood out as a trailblazer and true pioneer of its use, making the ‘one-woman-band’ setup not just novel but essential. “That night made me understand something important,” Tunstall recalls. “It’s not just about the song, it’s how you execute it under pressure, how you share it. I didn’t realise how much people would love seeing how I did it. I think people got a kick out of seeing someone do something risky live, and pull it off.”

Her debut album, Eye to the Telescope, solidified her as a leading voice in the burgeoning folk-pop movement. Her debut record produced enduring hits such as the rhythmically charged “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” the tender ballad “Other Side of the World,” and the soaring anthem “Suddenly I See,” which would later become synonymous with The Devil Wears Prada. She recalls her Manager at the time saying to her, “enjoy this moment; they’ve used your entire unedited song for the beginning of the film, no dialogue. It’ll probably never happen like this again”. The iconic opening scene of the movie cemented her place in a defining cultural moment.

Amid a crowded field of rising female singer-songwriters, Tunstall stood apart, exuding authenticity and displaying an unmistakable stage presence and musicianship. “There are two core elements to my style,” she reflects. “I’ve got the troubadour, acoustic, emotionally driven side, and then there’s the raw, fiery rock element with a ton of teeth.” This duality - switching from heartfelt acoustic ballads to gritty rock anthems - has been a hallmark of her career.

By the time her sophomore album Drastic Fantastic was released in 2007, Tunstall had evolved from folk-pop ingénue to bona fide rock star. The record leaned further into guitar-driven rock without losing the melodic hooks that defined her sound. It reflected her resistance to being confined to one musical identity, pushing beyond her folk roots. This was further explored in her 2010 album Tiger Suit, recorded in Berlin, where she fused acoustic instrumentation with pulsing electronic beats, breaking new creative ground.

Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon (2013) marked a dramatic shift in her sound and mood. Recorded in the widescreen desert landscapes of Tucson, Arizona, the album embraced a strippedback, Americana-tinged aesthetic, mirroring a period of personal upheaval, including the loss of her father and the breakdown of her marriage. Critically lauded, the album revealed some of Tunstall’s most intimate and vulnerable work.

As she entered the second decade of her career, Tunstall embarked on one of her most ambitious ventures yet: a trilogy of albums exploring the interwoven themes of soul, body, and mind. The first, 2016’s KIN, was the ‘soul’ record - a bright, anthemic return that rekindled her love of music after a period of disillusionment. In 2018, she followed with WAX, the ‘body’ record, which embraced her rock instincts with a visceral intensity. The trilogy concluded in 2022 with NUT, the ‘mind’ album, written during a period of profound life changes, including her move to the U.S., as well as creating an album remotely through the pandemic. “This trilogy represents probably the most extreme and transformative period of my life,” Tunstall reflects.

Earlier this year, as the 20th anniversary of Eye to the Telescope approached, Tunstall was honored with the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for ‘Outstanding Song Collection’ - a testament to her enduring influence among both peers and fans alike. In the past year, she has toured both as a solo act and co-headliner with iconic U.S. singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin, while also serving as a special guest on tours with Roger Daltrey, and fellow Scots, Texas.

In addition to her prolific music career, Tunstall has expanded into composing for film and theater. Most recently, it was announced that Clueless, The Musical, for which she composed the music, will make its West End debut in February 2025. Next year, Tunstall will celebrate the 20th anniversary of her seminal debut album Eye to the Telescope with a series of special performances and a re-release featuring additional tracks, including an inaugural headline show at London’s Royal Albert Hall. After two decades, KT Tunstall remains a vital, ever-evolving artist - one who continues to surprise, innovate, and captivate audiences around the world.

Visionary GRAMMY Award-winning artist Warren Haynes is a cornerstone of the American music landscape, lauded as one of the most formidable guitarists and vocalists of the modern era and a prolific songwriter and producer.

He effortlessly cross-pollinates genres and unfurls solos that broil with passion in his distinctive, signature style.

Throughout his prolific career as part of three of the greatest live groups in rock history – Allman Brothers Band, Gov’t Mule and the Dead – and an acclaimed solo artist, he has become one of music’s most treasured storytellers and his artistry has led to thousands of memorable performances and millions of album and track sales.

Haynes is a beacon of creativity and musical excellence that inspires fans as well as fellow musicians, evidenced by the diverse array of artists that he has performed and recorded with, including Dave Matthews Band, Peter Frampton, Chris Stapleton, Coheed and Cambria, Dave Grohl, Carlos Santana, Willie Nelson, and Dolly Parton, and many more.

After joining the Allman Brothers Band in 1989, Haynes released his first solo album, Tales of Ordinary Madness, in 1993 and soon after, he formed Gov’t Mule originally as a side project during band breaks.

The Mule has since created a revered catalog over the past 30 years, including multiple GRAMMY nominations, leading them to be recognized as one of the most timeless, respected and active bands in the world whose spot amongst rock titans remains unshakable. Following a handful of solo live releases in 2003 and 2004, Haynes released his GRAMMY-nominated sophomore solo album, Man In Motion, in 2011 and his third solo collection, Ashes & Dust, in 2015. After nearly a decade, Warren issued his fourth solo album, Million Voices Whisper, in November 2024, debuting at the top of Billboard’s Blues Albums Chart.

The self-produced collection of soulful blues-rock includes multiple appearances from his longtime ABB bandmate Derek Trucks as well as guest spots from Lukas Nelson and Jamey Johnson. He followed that up with its companion album, The Whisper Sessions, in September 2025, featuring stripped-down versions of select songs from Million Voices Whisper. Haynes also curates and hosts the Christmas Jam, an annual star-studded holiday charity show in his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, which will celebrate its 33rd event in 2025.

As one of the most celebrated and longest-running live concerts in the U.S., the Christmas Jam has raised nearly $3 million for Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity, constructing over 50 homes, and helps the region’s housing needs through newer partner BeLoved Asheville.

The Strumbellas know that misery loves company, and that if we’re together, even in dark times, there’s some joy in that. Their songs of suffering and celebration date back to their 2012 debut My Father And The Hunter, and the band have obsessively chased big hooks, group vocal exuberance, and folk-rock propulsion through their 2016 breakthrough Hope to 2024’s Part Time Believer. The Juno and iHeartRadio Music Award-winning group’s new song Hard Lines gives listeners an urgent, new take on their iconic mix of intimate feelings with stadium folk sounds.

Determined to use every tool in their arsenal to write a good song, The Strumbellas started by looking inward: random song titles, non-sequitur ideas, scraps of paper, and voice memos of half-sung melodies came from everyone in the band. They then connected with their favourite collaborators, songwriters and producers anywhere from their home in Toronto to Vancouver, Nashville, or LA, to create demos that ranged from campfire-chord whispers to radio-ready productions. The long list was then whittled down by the band along with producer Chad Copelin (LANY, Sasha Sloan, Colony House), who recorded the band at his studio in Norman, Oklahoma. Copelin’s finely honed sonic instincts bring out a newly textured, insistently edgy side to The Strumbellas’ alt-folk stomp.

“We’re living in a lonely world,” says keyboardist Dave Ritter. “Whether it’s work or our home life or our screens, life seems cut up into smaller and smaller pieces all disconnected from each other. Hard Lines is about picking your way through the rubble of contemporary life and the hope that we can build things together again. It’s something we’re reminded of when we gather to write or rehearse songs, and when we get to play for people, that music brings us together, gives us some moments of connection that are hard to find these days.”

Preservation Hall Jazz Band has held the torch of New Orleans music aloft for more than 60 years, all the while carrying it enthusiastically forward as a reminder that the history they were founded to preserve is a vibrantly living history.

At a moment when musical streams are crossing with unprecedented frequency, it’s crucial to remember that throughout its history, New Orleans has been the point at which sounds and cultures from around the world converge, mingle, and resurface, transformed by the Crescent City’s inimitable spirit and joie de vivre.

PHJB marches that tradition forward once again on So It Is. The album redefines what New Orleans music means today by tapping into a sonic continuum that stretches back to the city’s Afro-Cuban roots, through its common ancestry with the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti and the Fire Music of Pharoah Sanders and John Coltrane, and forward to cutting-edge artists with whom the PHJB have shared festival stages from Coachella to Newport, including legends like Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello and the Grateful Dead and modern giants like Beck, The Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket, and the Black Keys.

Creator and innovator, musician and producer, artist, and philanthropist, Herb Alpert is a man with a profound passion.
Born in Los Angeles, the future trumpeter came of age in a house filled with music. At the age of eight, he was drawn to the trumpet in a music appreciation class in his elementary school.
“I was very fortunate that I had that exposure to music and was encouraged to stick with it. Years ago, when the arts programs were cut out of our public schools, so many kids stopped having that kind of opportunity.”

A legendary trumpet player, Alpert’s extraordinary musicianship has earned him five #1 hits, nine GRAMMY® Awards, the latest from his 2014 album, “Steppin’ Out,” fifteen Gold albums, fourteen Platinum albums and has sold over 72 million records. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass propelled his sound into the pop music limelight, at one point outselling the Beatles two to one. In 1966, they achieved the since-unmatched feat of simultaneously having four albums in the Top 10– and five in the Top 20. Herb Alpert also has the distinction of being the only artist who has had a #1 instrumental and vocal single.
