Joy Hill Denver, CO Words by J. Picard Photos by Nancy Isaac Photography The MusicMarauders Residency at Joy Hill on South Broadway in Denver is something that we look forward to monthly. There is something about the space, the vibe, the staff, the food and the drinks that never waivers. It's been just over a year since we started doing music in the funky and comfortable space and it was time to expand to a Sunday afternoon. I started my day on-air on KWPPR with the Sunday Morning Jazz Show, where I played a full show of Miles with John McLaughlin from Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, MI in 1970. Needless to say I was excited for what was to come! It was a mid 70s day on Joy Hill's rooftop patio and as the band loaded in they caught up with one another and joked around. The mood was light as it always is though the material would be heavy. Initially when the conversation came up between Pete and I and was brought to Blake, he seemed unsure. It was great to see a professional like

TD Garden Boston, MA Words & Photos by Arlene Brown Have you ever had the feeling that you were watching history unfold? I’ve thought this many times when watching “up and coming” bands that only play in small 100 person venues and half of the crowd are family and friends. Many of those bands went to the wayside, but a few of them have gone on to become bigger and some are still growing. Sometimes it’s when I’m watching a band live onstage with 20,000 other screaming fans. I’m not sure if it was the universe finally telling me to go see Greta Van Fleet, but I’d totally forgot they were playing TD Garden on Sept 15th until I got an email reminding me of the show. I listen to their music, and consider myself a “fan,” but not even close to the “Superfans” that turned out on Friday night in full force. WOW! Now, if you’re not familiar with Greta Van Fleet, they are originally from Frankenmuth, Michigan, just north of the Detroit area and they started really making music in 2012. Fronte

Hill Auditorium University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI Words & Photos by J. Picard In the early 1970s the music world shifted with the coming of a transformative collaboration between John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussain. The result was a relatively short-lived but incredibly impactful project that grew from the chance encounter. Shakti, from its inception, was destined to change not only the sound of Indian music and jazz, but the possibilities of musical collaboration as a whole. Nearly fifty years later, the impact of this project that began in 1974 and concluded in 1978, is immeasurable and spans generations of listeners. 2023 marked the return of Shakti, the release of a new album ( In This Moment ) and an extensive tour that wrapped around the globe from Europe to the United States. From the announcement of the American tour dates, it was decided that we would be making the long journey from Denver, CO to Ann Arbor, MI for a show at Hill Auditorium at the University of Michigan

Deschutes County Fairgrounds Redmond, OR Words by Ryleigh Hutson & Alexander Fornes We are counting down the days to the first-ever, Cascade Equinox Festival taking place September 22-24th.

Bank of NH Pavilion Gilford, NH Words & Photos by Arlene Brown What happens when you have 9,000 people attending the biggest group therapy session of our lives? You get almost every single person at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in tears for an experience none of us will never forget. Disturbed’s “Take Back Your Life” tour swept through Gilford, NH with so much raw and honest emotion led by the breathtaking David Draiman, vowing to each and every person there that our lives matter and that our lives are important. Mental health affects everyone; either ourselves or someone we know who is living with depression, anxiety, and/or other debilitating issues.  “We are not alone.” Disturbed’s night started with their normal “Hey You,” “Stupify,” and the pyro backed “Ten Thousand Fists” in which everyone was pumping their fists (not phones) in the air. Every single person was singing every single word to every single song. The whole night. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen a crowd
