one of my favorite musical weirdos is putting out another album this year
War on Drugs extended their tour:

There's a Charlotte date on 6/18. Dads rejoice!
I'm not a big Dead fan or jam band fan or anything, but this lineup is so absurd that I think that I have to go
Before the Grateful Dead reunite for their three-night farewell stand in Chicago this July, its four surviving members — Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh — and a number of special guests will pay tribute to Jerry Garcia at a special gig at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland on May 14th.
Dubbed "Dear Jerry: Celebrating The Music of Jerry Garcia," the show will feature performances from Lesh's outfit Communion, Kreutzmann's Billy and the Kids, Bruce Hornsby, Eric Church, Buddy Miller, David Grisman, Greensky Bluegrass, Moe., Los Lobos, O.A.R., Railroad Earth, Widespread Panic, the Disco Biscuits, Yonder Mountain String Band, Trampled By Turtles, Jimmy Cliff, Jorma Kaukonen, Stu Allen, Grahame Lesh, Ross James, Alex Koford and Jason Crosby. Additional performers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Almost forgot how much I fucking love this album. Holy shit, 13 year old Chupe is fucking raging right now with my man Henry getting the feels.
saw Hurray for the Riff Raff last night at Gruene Hall, good band on their records and really fun show. Would recommend to anyone. The lead singer is really impressive, even moreso in person.
In terms of local acts: Caleb Caudle, Estrangers and 1970s Film Stock (88.5 WFDD talent and guitarist from old Jews & Catholics) are worth seeing.
