One of our favorite female singer songwriters, Nicki Bluhm will be releasing Avondale Drive in early June on Compass Records. This is, Nicki’s second solo record, a follow up to her 2018 record To Rise You Gotta Fall. Nicki has been a mainstay in the jam band adjacent communities for years, and I’ve been a fan since her awesome van sessions that she did with her old band The Gramblers. Now this native Californian makes her home in Nashville, and Avondale Drive marks a new chapter in Bluhm’s life. We sat down to talk about the new record, but first I admittedly gushed about her performance of the Grateful Dead’s Sunrise with Phil Lesh and Bob Weir back at Lockin’ 2017. 

 

First song: Love To Spare

Second song: Friends (How To Do It)

Live 5 - April 10, 2024.

Amongst the jam bands that seem like they are always on the road are The Kitchen Dwellers. The Montana based quartet are part bluegrass or even jamgrass and part psychedelia. Their unique sound and that constant touring ethos has created quite a story to unpack. The Kitchen Dwellers released their fourth studio album “Seven Devils” a few weeks back, which gave a reason to catch up with Joe Funk, the band’s upright bass player. 



First song: Seven Devils (Limbo)

Second song: Pendulum (V)
