Last week, Carnegie Hall resonated with the spirit and songs of Sinéad O'Connor and Shane MacGowan as an expanded lineup of luminaries took to the stage for a historic tribute concert.

This profound celebration, organized by City Winery, not only honored the indelible legacies of these iconic musicians but also supported the crucial mission of Pen America with a donation of $65,000 to help them in their mission of advocating for freedom of speech worldwide.

The event, Sinéad & Shane at Carnegie Hall, saw an unprecedented gathering of talent, with performances that spanned the emotional spectrum, from heart-wrenching ballads to uplifting anthems. The night was not just a tribute but a powerful reminder of O’Connor and MacGowan’s profound impact on music and cultural dialogue. The event opened with comments from Roisin Waters...

When Brandy Clark launched a country-music recording career in 2013, there wasn’t any template to follow for an openly gay artist in Nashville. Despite co-writing hits like Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow,” Clark heard loud and clear the industry’s subtle messages that she wouldn’t be supported as an out performer. Even Chely Wright, who had big radio hits in the Nineties, had been forced to wait years and change stylistic directions before she came out publicly.

“One of the things that was hard for me to grasp was...

Danny Masterson was found guilty Wednesday of raping two women in the early 2000s, and will face up to 30 years in prison. After eight days of deliberation, the jury said it was deadlocked on another charge brought by a third Jane Doe.

Masterson was immediately taken into custody and faces 30 years to life in a California state prison facility once sentencing is set at an Aug. 4 hearing. His wife, the actress Bijou Phillips, wailed loudly from the gallery and began to cry, prompting the judge to ask her to keep her composure as the father of their 9-year-old daughter was handcuffed and led away.

After the lunch break, much of Masterson’s family had gathered outside the courtroom, indicating that a decision could be near. When Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo took the bench, she said: “The court received a note after 11 a.m., reading, ‘We have come to a decision...

New Mexico prosecutors brought the toughest available charges against Alec Baldwin, with two counts of involuntary manslaughter — one with a gun-related “enhancer” carrying a mandatory five years in prison — that hints at an “aggressive” overall strategy that’s not likely to lead to a plea deal, legal experts told TheWrap on Thursday.

That means a jury trial is imminent, a process that could shed more light on the central mystery of the “Rust” shooting case: How did a live round get into Baldwin’s gun in the first place?

Lawyers who’ve worked both sides of the courtroom suggest the district attorney’s confidence could signal that after a full year of investigation, they’re holding unplayed cards: “We still don’t know all the evidence that the prosecution has,” said Miguel Custodio, Los Angeles attorney and founder of Dubey Llp. “We’re still operating on limited information.”

But even...

In sports parlance, the prosecutors pursuing three rape charges against Danny Masterson got blown out.

Not shut out – that would have meant a full-on acquittal for the “That ’70s Show” star. Instead, the jury of 12 could not reach a verdict after a two-week deliberation process broken up by a Thanksgiving break and the loss of two jurors to Covid-19, ending in a mistrial declared last Wednesday.

But the score wasn’t pretty for the L.A. district attorney: 10-2 favored acquittal on the first count, 8-4 on the second and 7-5 on the third.

For most court observers, the vote total the jury revealed at the request of Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo was a full-on shocker. Now Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller has a fraught decision to make: Retry the case at risk of being embarrassed again, or suffer the fallout of letting one of the #MeToo movement’s highest-stakes...

Joe Walsh has tapped Jon Bon Jovi, Eddie Vedder, Gwen Stefani, and many more to participate in his fourth annual VetsAid charity concert, which will take place virtually December 12th.

The stacked lineup for VetsAid 2020: Home for the Holidays also includes Alice Cooper, the Killers’ Brandon Flowers, Daryl Hall, Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, James Hetfield, Jewel, Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson and the Boys, Blake Shelton, Vince Gill, Billy Bob Thornton, Steven Van Zandt, Richard Marx, Ben Harper, Drew Carey, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Ryan Bingham, Josh Ritter, the 5 Browns, and Jake Shimabukuro.

R.E.M., Phoebe Bridgers, Hayley Williams and more appear on the new compilation Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy, available on Friday for 24 hours only as part of the Bandcamp Fridays series.

The star-studded, 40-track comp boasts previously unreleased songs, demos, covers and remixes. It includes a live version of R.E.M.’s “Begin the Begin” from 1989, Williams’ Broadcast cover of “Colour Me In” and Bridgers’ voice memo of “Chinese Satellite” from her new album, Punisher.

It’d been six years since Kathleen Edwards had seriously thought about making music when she received an out-of-the-blue phone call from the manager of country star Maren Morris in 2017. For the previous three years, Edwards had been working 12-hour days at Quitters Coffee, the neighborhood cafe in suburban Ottawa she opened after a series of creative, mental health, and romantic crises led her to pause her music career in 2014.

Morris, a longtime fan, wanted to know if the Canadian singer-songwriter would write with her. Edwards was intrigued. “I thought,...

Austin City Limits presents an all-star Americana special this weekend, with more than a dozen performances and other highlights from this year’s Americana Honors & Awards ceremony.

Premiering Saturday on PBS, the hour-long episode was taped at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in September and includes a performance by Album of the Year winner John Prine, who sings his “Angel From Montgomery” with the artist who brought the song wider recognition, Bonnie Raitt.

“I’ve been singing it since 1973 or so, when I first started to tour with John,” Bonnie Raitt...

Currently on a hot streak with the release of their album Carolina Confessions and an opening slot on Chris Stapleton’s All-American Road Show Tour, the Marcus King Band have announced their own headlining winter tour. The guitar phenom and his eclectic group will launch the El Dorado Tour on October 31st in Kansas City, Missouri, and proceed to wind their way across the Midwest and Northeast, ending up in New York City for a December 21st show at the Beacon Theatre.

The 23-year-old King, a native of Greenville, South Carolina,...

Combining an eclectic musical lineup and one of the most unique settings for live entertainment, the 16-time Emmy-winning public television series Bluegrass Underground has unveiled the acts for the series’ ninth season. On September 4th, the national PBS season premiere of the acclaimed series will highlight the pioneering Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The latest season stretches for 12 weeks and includes upcoming episodes with Steve Earle, Keb’ Mo’, Brothers Osborne, Amanda Shires, Josh Ritter, and Mandy Barnett.

Taking place in the subterranean amphitheater of the Caverns at the base of Monteagle Mountain,...

Nashville’s annual AmericanaFest has announced its final lineup of performers, a list that, like the Americana genre itself, represents roots-based country, folk, bluegrass, blues, and rock. Among the new additions: Shawn Colvin, Brent Cobb, Sarah Potenza, Andrew Bird, Drivin N Cryin, Nicki Bluhm, Andrew Combs, Sierra Hull, Foy Vance, the Quebe Sisters, Maggie Rose, Orville Peck, and Jesse Malin.

With 150 acts now added to the already stacked lineup, the Americana Music Association’s annual conference will feature some 500 performances from a total of almost 300 artists throughout the six-day event.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are among the artists on the bill for the third annual Marcus King Band Family Reunion. Held in late September at Pisgah Brewing Company in Black Mountain, North Carolina, the two-day festival is the brainchild of Marcus King, the singer-guitarist of the burgeoning blues-rock group that bears his name.

Along with Isbell, Josh Ritter, Futurebirds, Los Coast, and Charlie Overbey and the Broken Arrow are set to perform. Amanda Shires, a member of Isbell’s 400 Unit, will also play her own solo set. The festival’s hosts,...

Glen Hansard once received a nickname from his friend Nico Muhly: Earnest Strum. The name was a way for Muhly, a contemporary composer, to poke fun at the type of exceedingly sincere, traditionally-rooted folk that Hansard has mostly been making for the past dozen years, ever since he rose to unlikely mainstream fame with the success of the 2007 musical drama Once.

In recent years, Hansard himself has grown a bit restless with his reputation as a bearded balladeer. After 2018’s Between Two Shores, the latest in a steady stream of heartfelt solo records,...

Nominees for the 2019 Americana Honors & Awards were announced Tuesday afternoon, with multiple women being recognized in the top categories. The Milk Carton Kids (and, later, Mavis Staples) read the names of the nominees during a rehearsal for the “Mavis & Friends: Celebrating 80 Years of Mavis Staples” concert set for Wednesday in Nashville.

Staples earned a nomination for Artist of the Year, alongside Brandi Carlile, Rhiannon Giddens and Kacey Musgraves, marking the first time the category has included only women. The last time a woman took home the Artist of the Year...

Josh Ritter’s prolific consistency has always been a blessing and a burden. The ten mostly-great roots-rock albums he’s released since the turn of the century have helped foster a uniquely supportive fanbase. And yet, it has been over a decade since any of his new records, which continue to impress as much as his earlier work, have made any sort of larger cultural mark. “At last, her combination of age and consistency has caught up with her,” read an apt Pitchfork essay on the lack of attention the...

A protest song from Josh Ritter, the latest punk-vaudeville from Megan Mullally and Stephanie Hunt, and Valerie June’s mesmerizing Hendrix tribute make up this week’s list of must-hear country and Americana tracks.

Leo Rondeau, “Get On With It”

While a chugging rhythm section keeps pace in the background, Nashville-by-way-of-North Dakota songwriter Leo Rondeau packs his bags and hits the road, looking for the quickest way to heal a broken heart. “I never know what I want, and in the end it’s only my fault,” he sings, shouldering...

With the bittersweet “I Still Love You (Now and Then)” from his forthcoming LP Fever Breaks, Josh Ritter addresses a former love who still holds in her sway a piece of his shattered heart. Even as he references a new romance in the mournful ballad’s lyrics, he is simultaneously drawn to a powerful memory, singing, “I still love you now and then, when her fingers brush my skin/When the night falls over all of everything that’s been/And everything we were and cannot be again.”

Fever Breaks,...

“I know he doesn’t like this version,” Patti Smith said, with a grin, of Van Morrison before launching into her iconic transformation of “Gloria” for the finale of Thursday’s Carnegie Hall tribute to the Belfast singer. “But I’m thanking him anyway.”

The same could probably be said of many of the standout performances at this year’s edition of promoter Michael Dorf’s annual benefit tribute concert, which raised money to provide music education to underprivileged youth and gathered a wide, multi-generational group of artists — lifelong soul men,...

The annual Cayamo Cruise set sail last week, with artists like Emmylou Harris, the Mavericks, Buddy Miller and Maggie Rose performing to an audience of Americana music fans. But it wasn’t solely a rootsy affair — Sadler Vaden, the guitarist in Jason Isbell’s backing band the 400 Unit, played up his rock & roll roots during his nightly after-hours concerts with special guests.

Vaden enlisted Isbell and dobro master Jerry Douglas for one particularly spirited performance, re-creating the Allman Brothers Band’s “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” Backed by the 400 Unit...

Popular Americana live act Drew Holcomb has announced the lineup for his annual Moon River Music Festival. First launched in 2014, the weekend concert returns to Chattanooga, Tennessee, on September 7th and 8th with one of its strongest bills to date.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and new Grammy winner Brandi Carlile will headline the fest, which also features appearances by Holcomb with the Neighbors, and a solo show with his wife Ellie Holcomb. Other artists slated for Moon River include St. Paul & the Broken Bones, the Wood Brothers, Josh Ritter,...

Earlier this month, Josh Ritter announced plans to release a new Jason Isbell-produced album, promising a collaborative effort with Isbell’s revered band the 400 Unit. On Tuesday, Ritter revealed that the album, titled Fever Breaks, will be released April 26th, and gave the first glimpse of the project with the new song “Old Black Magic.”

Finding the sweet spot between the introspective lyricism of Ritter’s previous efforts and the swaggering Southern rock of the 400 Unit, “Old Black Magic” blends the artists’ talents to dizzying effect. Crunchy guitars and...

It’s a rainy November evening in Nashville and Josh Ritter and Jason Isbell are huddled in front of the console at Sound Emporium Studios, an historic space located in an otherwise nondescript building in the city’s Belmont neighborhood. It’s the last recording session for Ritter’s new album, which Isbell is producing and playing on as part of the 400 Unit, and they’re in the thick of adding fiddle to one of the album’s tracks.

The song, an optimistic, mid-tempo rambler called “In Passing,” is the...

For most people, a simple handshake from John Prine could be considered a once-in-a-lifetime kind of gift. But for producer and engineer Matt Ross-Spang, his Prine prize came in the form of something a lot more permanent — and one that requires oil, not vodka and ginger ale, to keep chugging.

“Every day he would drive a different Cadillac to the studio,” says Ross-Spang, sitting at an East Nashville coffee shop and recalling Prine’s The Tree of Forgiveness sessions. Ross-Spang engineered the project alongside producer Dave Cobb, and he’d...

Rosanne Cash has been named the recipient of the “John Lennon Real Love Award,” an honor she will accept at the 38th Annual John Lennon Tribute concert November 30th in New York City.

Cash will perform several of her favorite Lennon and Beatles classics during the concert, which will also include guests Marc Cohn, Jesse Colin Young (the Youngbloods), Willie Nile, Scott Sharrard and Mark Erelli.

Non-profit organization Theatre Within presented its first tribute event for the late musician as a neighborhood gathering at their studio shortly after Lennon was...

On “Not Many Miles to Go,” a new song from Rosanne Cash’s upcoming She Remembers Everything LP, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter delivers a bittersweet reflection on love, commitment, and the passage of time.

Coming on the heels of the title track and “Everyone But Me,” which were jointly released in September, “Not Many Miles to Go” is the third and most up-tempo of the bunch from Cash’s first album in five years. But it’s also tinged with sadness, as she ponders the inevitably fleeting nature of even the deepest bonds,...

Singer-songwriter and folk musician Mark Erelli has produced a pair of albums for Lori McKenna, accompanied musicians including Josh Ritter and Paula Cole on guitar, appeared on Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s 2007 Soul2Soul Tour, and released 11 albums as a solo artist. But in “By Degrees,” a song Rosanne Cash calls “the most compassionate, vivid and non-preaching anti-gun violence song I’ve ever heard,” Erelli shines an essential and sobering light on a topic that remains among the most heavily debated in the country.

With a lyrical hook that...

Last Thursday, soul-rock outfit Lake Street Dive headlined Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre for the first time, topping a bill that also included singer-songwriter Josh Ritter.

The evening’s biggest surprise came during the encore, when the Boston-based quartet welcomed country star Miranda Lambert to the stage for a stunning version of “I Can Change,” an original song that appears on Lake Street Dive’s spring-released album Free Yourself Up.

The slow-burning ballad, about finding the courage to get past old mistakes, moves patiently with just gently strummed guitar chords and soothing organ accents.

Country music focuses heavily on storytelling. Sometimes the stories are about budding romance, and other times they're about heartbreak. If you need a good cry, it's always comforting to curl up in the fetal position and blast tearjerkers like Chris Stapleton's "Tennessee Whiskey" or Lee Brice's "I Drive Your Truck." Of course, you don't have to only listen to the classics. There's a ton of new country music out there perfect for your mulling sessions. Below, we've rounded up some of the saddest tunes in both popular and alternative country, whether you need to work through heartbreak, nostalgia, or grief.

"Space Cowboy," Kacey Musgraves "California, Missouri" Kassi Ashton "Keeper of the Flame," Miranda Lambert "Caught Up in Your Storm," Mickey Guyton "If You Keep Leaving Me," Anderson East "Cry Pretty," Carrie Underwood "Weed, Whiskey and Willie," Brothers Osborne "Five More Minutes," Scotty McCreery "Something You Get Through," Willie Nelson "I Want Love,...

Maybe Hiss Golden Messenger said it best, in a tweet after Friday night’s tribute to Jerry Garcia at downtown Los Angeles’ Theatre at Ace Hotel (at which lead singer Mc Taylor was one of the performers): “Seeing Stephen Malkmus, Benmont Tench and David Hidalgo onstage together creates a hugely enjoyable cognitive dissonance.” In this particular Dead-related case, “cognitive dissonance” was not even intended as a synonym for tripping, but just the fun of seeing celebrity fans from different disciplines focus attention on some of Garcia’s under-celebrated sides. At the end of the three-hour show, you could even say: What a long trip of strange bedfellows it’s been.

The guest singers might have been the ones with their names on the souvenir poster, but the highlight of the night, for many, was a semi-reunion of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers or Mudcrutch, take your pick), with Tench, the...

When Joan Baez, who recently announced that she’d be retiring from the road at the end of the year, began choosing music for her new album, she slowly found herself connecting to songs with a very specific set of emotions. “The direction this album went is that [2018] is going to be my last year of formal touring, and so there was a feeling, maybe not even spoken, but there was a strong feeling that it’s time to move on,” she tells Rolling Stone.

The resulting album, Whistle Down the Wind,...

A brain tumor? In this economy!?

Yet another movie about an affectless white guy in crisis who’s summoned to his childhood home by news of an ailing parent, John Krasinski’s “The Hollars” appears to be the kind of toothless and emotionally counterfeit cancer dramedy that gives America’s independent cinema a bad name. And, at the end of the day, that’s pretty much exactly what it is. But, clawing at the underside of this unashamedly trite saga of kooky characters coming together in their mutual time of need, another story is desperately trying to get out — a story about the market forces of unconditional love, and the kind of commitment issues that are born from (uniquely male) fears of inadequacy. That story, sadly, is smothered to death beneath an epic mountain of the usual chintzy crap.

In fairness,...

During the opening five or 10 minutes of The Hollars, three different tasteful acoustic-guitar songs play on the soundtrack. Or maybe it’s the same song, played three times; it’s hard to tell, and the Josh Ritter score only confuses matters further. John Krasinski’s second feature has such a milquetoast, melancholy-indie sound that its most arresting and dynamic musical moment comes when three characters unexpectedly break into “Closer To Fine” by the Indigo Girls.

Those three men are John Hollar (Krasinski), his brother Ron (Sharlto Copley), and their father Don (Richard Jenkins), and just as it’s hard to tell the soundtrack’s songs apart, it’s never clear whether the rhyming character names are supposed to show organic cutesiness within this particular family or the forced cutesiness of screenwriter Jim Strouse. John has returned to his unspecified home—it’s a small town and it’s nowhere ...

When Cameron Crowe is firing on all cylinders, you can expect a few things from his films: great dialogue, sparkling chemistry between the cast, and great tunes. And while we'll have to wait for the full movie to weigh in on the first two points, on the latter, things are promising. Two new songs by Jónsi & Alex will feature on the soundtrack that will also include Hawaiian music legends Genoa Keawe and The Royal Hawaiian Serenaders, along with tracks by Beck, David Crosby, Fleetwood Mac, Kurt Vile, Josh Ritter, The Tallest Man on Earth, and more. Not too shabby. And today a couple new clips have arrived.

Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, and Madison Gate Records, the in-house record label of Sony Pictures Entertainment, have announced the release of Songs of Aloha (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), the extraordinary musical companion to the upcoming Sony Pictures/Regency Enterprises film, Aloha.

The soundtrack will arrive in stores and at all DSPs on May 26th; Aloha opens in theatres across North America on May 29th.

Songs of Aloha (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) was curated and compiled by Academy Award®-winner Cameron Crowe (Say Anything…, Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous), the film’s writer/director.

The 19-track collection gathers Crowe’s always wide-ranging musical selections, spanning such renowned artists as Beck, David Crosby, Fleetwood Mac, and The Blue Nile, contemporary singer/songwriters like Kurt Vile, Josh Ritter, and The Tallest Man on Earth, eclectic new acts including Radical Face and Evening Hymns, and acclaimed ambient/electronic musicians Vancouver Sleep Clinic and Jónsi & Alex,...

Los Angeles—Ray Lamontagne let the music do the talking during an intimate 70-minute show here to promote his new album, “Supernova.” Open only to Citi card members and with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Musicians on Call charity, Lamontagne ran through “Supernova” in its entirety. Set in Los Angeles’ Cathedral Sanctuary, the gothic church’s high stone arches and elegant, plain chandeliers provided the perfect backdrop to Lamontagne’s often ethereal music. With only five spotlights focused on the band, Lamontagne often performed in an appealingly shadowy glow. Lamontagne opened with “Gossip in the Grain,” the title track to his 2008 album, but he quickly segued into material from “Supernova,” including swirly, psychedelic, organ-filled album opener “Lavendar” and robust “She’s The One,” which took on a wilder and woolier life live than on the Dan Auerbach-produced album. Similarly, “Smashing” was greatly enhanced by its live presentation, which included a cut-time,...

Musician Josh Ritter, who refused to perform again at a private Christian college because of the school's anti-gay beliefs, is now the target of backlash from students who say they and their school are not homophobic.

Ritter defended gay rights in a Facebook post criticizing Messiah College, a private school in Mechanicsburg, Pa., that embraces the "evangelical spirit rooted" in Christian traditions. In his May 4 post, Ritter blasted the school as anti-gay after discovering a school-wide document called the "Community Covenant."

Messiah College requires all students to sign a "Community Covenant" promising to, among other things, “avoid such sinful practices as…homosexual behavior….” This policy, which I see as exclusionary and bigoted, could not run more counter to my personal beliefs. If I had done my homework, and read about Messiah's policies ahead of time, I would never have agreed to play there.

Ritter -- who performed at the school...

Singer-songwriter Josh Ritter is making headlines after speaking out in defense of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (Lgbt) community during a performance at a private Christian college which allegedly has an anti-gay policy in place for its student body.

After his performance at Pennsylvania's Messiah College, Ritter took to Facebook with the following message:

"Messiah College requires all students to sign a 'Community Covenant,' promising to, among other things, 'avoid such sinful practices as…homosexual behavior….'

This policy, which I see as exclusionary and bigoted, could not run more counter to my personal beliefs. If I had done my homework, and read about Messiah's policies ahead of time, I would never have agreed to play there."

When he took to the stage, Ritter says he "chose to use the opportunity to talk to the students -- to encourage them to seek openness and change," adding, "I spoke...

Massachusetts singer-songwriter Jason Myles Goss has had a busy few months, releasing his first self-produced album Radio Dial and scheduling a multitude of media appearances, including an appearance at Philadelphia’s Wxpn.

In music this week, The Men released "New Moon," an overwhelming combination of ideas that left most critics slightly confused. The album was praised for a few stand-out moments, but most reviewers wished the track listing had been edited down a little better. Josh Ritter received some of the best reviews this week with "The Beast In Its Tracks." The album's songs were praised as extremely smooth and moving takes on emerging from heartbreak, but some critics felt the album was a bit one-dimensional. Bastille's debut album "Bad Blood" received negative marks for lacking personality and failing to allow the band to really standout.

"Oz the Great and Powerful" rolled into theaters this week with fairly favorable reviews. Though most critics enjoyed the film, a few felt it lacked the unique, magical touches they expected from the movie. "Dead Man Down" was a bizzare mix of plot twists and unexciting...
