AT DOHENY STATE BEACH IN DANA POINT, CA

Pictured (left to right): Eddie Vedder and Kelly Slater

OHANA FESTIVAL will once again return to beautiful Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, CA for a third year this September with performances from Eric Church, Eddie Vedder, Mumford & Sons, Beck, Norah Jones, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Amos Lee, Liz Phair and many others (full line-up below). The acclaimed three-day festival--set for Friday, September 28, Saturday, September 29 and Sunday, September 30--celebrates some of the top singers, songwriters and musicians, taking place just steps away from the sands of one of Southern California's most iconic beaches.

After a successful launch in 2016 OHANA returned in 2017 as an expanded three-day event with more than 35,000 attendees. In the "Ohana" tradition of family, the grassy festival site is dotted with blankets and fans enjoying a weekend of music, food and activities.

The initial 2018 OHANA line-up is as follows: Eric Church, Eddie Vedder, Mumford & Sons, Norah Jones, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Amos Lee, Liz Phair, Young the Giant, Nikki Lane, Bahamas, Switchfoot w/ Rob Machado, John Doe Folk Trio, Plague Vendor, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Hiss Golden Messenger, The White Buffalo, NoMBe, Fantastic Negrito, The War + Treaty, Lauren Ruth Ward, Allan Rayman, Dave Hause, Nick Hakim, Kevin Devine, Billy Raffoul, Timmy Curran, Lilly Hiatt, The Palms, Desure, The Alive.

Here's some media feedback on OHANA 2017:

"...a unique concert with a salty-air twist...Ohana, which translates to "family" in Hawaiian, is more than just about music. The event serves as a fundraiser for ocean-minded nonprofits, including the Wyland Foundation, the Ocean Institute, the San Onofre Parks Foundation and Doheny State Beach Interpretive Association."

--OC REGISTER, 9-9-2017

"It's location at the idyllic Doheny State Beach makes it easy to go for a surf in the morning, and take in tunes in the afternoon."

--OC WEEKLY, 9-11-2017

"Ohana Fest, the three-day music festival organized by Eddie Vedder and his pro surfing buddy Kelly Slater, returned to Dana Point, California's Doheny State Beach for its second year yesterday. Last year, Vedder was everywhere at the fest, performing with Elvis Costello, X, Jack Irons, Band Of Horses, and more, and it seems like he's making it his mission to play with everyone at this year's fest too."

--STEREOGUM, 9-9-2017

"This past weekend, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder headlined the Ohana Fest in Dana Point, California's Doheny State Beach. It was the second year of the festival, which Vedder and pro surfer Kelly Slater organized, and it looks like it was a good time."

--STEREOGUM, 9-12-2017

"Eddie Vedder has played a big role in the emergence of the Ohana Festival on the music scene, so it's fitting that he was popping up all over the place this weekend."

--LOUDWIRE, 9-10-2017

"Set up on a stretch of pristine California beach and state park grounds, with an eclectic line-up of friends, admired artists, and buzz-making newcomers all curated by Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder, the three-day event was an even more expanded version from its previous year's debut. The laid back vibe of what is turning out to be the summer's best music festival, included an abundance of various food trucks, drink options and family friendly activities including an on-site video arcade, various interactive games, food tastings and a row of hammocks that if you were lucky enough to score you could swing on and soak up the sun and sweet ocean air."

--CIVILIZED, 9-13-2017

"The Ohana Festival, curated by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, was another massive success in its second year of existence. Thousands of music fans flocked to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California for the three-day festival which featured the likes of The Pixies, Eddie Vedder, Social Distortion, Haim, and Jack Johnson. The festival produced some impressive collaborations between Vedder and many of the other headlining bands, with Apple joining Vedder during his headlining set on the second day of the festival to perform the Neil Young classic "Rockin' in the Free World."

--MXDWN, 9-13-2017

Win Butler, Bonnie Raitt, Gregg Allman and more pay tribute to Mavis Staples in new concert film/album

I'm looking forward to seeing the legendary Mavis Staples when she performs at Doheny Blues Festival on May 21, 2017, and then catching the tribute to the artist titled Mavis Staples: I’ll Take You There – An All-Star Concert Celebration coming to CD/DVD  on June 2. 

The once-in-a-lifetime event took place at Chicago's Auditorium Theater with performances from Bonnie Raitt, Gregg Allman, Jeff Tweedy, Win Butler and more, plus Mavis herself who called it "a night I'll never forget." The project also marks Blackbird Presents' first release on their own record label. Watch the full ensemble perform "The Weight", during which Staples is "almost speaking in tongues" (The New York Times): http://bit.ly/2nqWdgn

Eric Church performing "Eyes On The Prize."

Mavis Staples: I’ll Take You There – An All-Star Concert Celebration had its worldwide exclusive broadcast premiere as a concert special on AXS TV earlier this month, and the album and DVD combo will be released on June 2, 2017 via Blackbird Presents Records. The concert special includes exclusive interviews with many of the participating artists, exploring Staples’ cultural and musical impact. 

Now, you can watch Eric Church cover a Staples Singers favorite, "Eyes On The Prize." Rolling Stone Country said of the cover, "Church does a faithful rendition of Staples' version and gives the song a swinging groove." Check out the video here: https://vimeo.com/195383704

Sights and Sounds: actor Alan Rickman, 'Three For All Tour' (Heart, Cheap Trick, Joan Jett), Hank Williams Jr., Little Scream,

Less than a week after legendary artist David Bowie died at age 69, another British legend has passed after losing his battle with cancer. Actor  Alan Rickman (Harry Potter, Die Hard, Robin Hood) died earlier today. A tough week to be sure. Here is a roundup of music news...

Not one, not two, but three Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artists are teaming up for an all-star summer tour. And all three artists are greats I've seen and reviewed multiple times.

Live Nation announced on Jan. 13, 2016, that Heart, Cheap Trick and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts are part of the "Three For All Tour." The tour begins in Clarkston, Michigan on July 14, 2016. Tickets go on sale on Friday, Jan. 22.

The tour is scheduled to include stops here in Southern California, as well as Chicago, San Francisco, Nashville and Dallas. The tour won't be done and dusted until Sept. 23 with a final date in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Information: www.livenation.com.

Country legend Hank Williams Jr.’s new album IT’S ABOUT TIME will be available Friday, January 15, 2016, in stores and across digital retailers. The Nash Icon Records’ project marks his 37th studio album and includes the current single “Are You Ready for the Country” featuring Eric Church.

“I couldn’t be more excited about this album,” exclaimed Hank Jr. “I have been doing this a long time but I promise this is the best album yet and fans will not be disappointed.”

The legendary entertainer will be making national television appearances the week of January 17 in support of the album.

Laurel Sprengelmeyer is Little Scream

Montreal based multi-instrumentalist, writer, and visual artist Laurel Sprengelmeyer aka Little Scream is more than pleased to announce her signing with Merge Records and Dine Alone Records (Canada-only) for a new LP to be released later this year. “Merge is a cultural monolith in my world, and I’m amped and honored to be working with them,” said Sprengelmeyer when asked about signing to Merge. “The record I just made is a crazy beast, and I can’t think of a better home for it.”

Little Scream's debut album, The Golden Record, received a glowing 8.1 on Pitchfork, which considered it "a stellar debut...[and] a perfectly mixed bag of graceful folk, coiled pop, and expansive art rock". NPR dubbed it "an absolutely captivating record", including it on their Best Albums of 2011 list, and the New York Times evoked its "hints of the divine", naming her one of the best new acts to follow at SXSW.

Little Scream toured extensively with The Golden Record, playing numerous opening and headlining performances in North America and Europe, including a tour with Sufjan Stevens as well as dates with Jose Gonzalez, Beirut, and Sharon Van Etten.

More details on Little Scream’s sophomore album will be announced shortly. Until then she’ll be on the road across North America on tours with Operators and Thao & The Get Down Stay Down beginning February 17. Full tour dates can be found below.

"[Sprengelmeyer] can be gentle and folky or muster mock-classical strings and flute; she overdubs herself into a hearty campfire choir or an ethereal descant. She can be stark and electric like P. J. Harvey or gather up a grand, handmade anthem like Arcade Fire...” – Jon Pareles, NEW YORK TIMES
