After a whirlwind month-long Northeast residency last October, Bonerama is at it again this year.
This year’s tour will include three weekly residency stops. Friday nights, Bonerama will hold court once again at
Sullivan Hall in the Village in New York City. On Saturday November 13 and November 20, the band will return to the

To open the final four dates of the tour, Bonerama welcomes their Boston-based friends and co-conspirators Nate

November 1st, 2010 | No Comments

INCLUDES REMASTERED ALBUM, NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN STUDIO & LIVE FOOTAGE, 80-PAGE NOTEBOOK,
21 PREVIOUSLY-UNRELEASED SONGS, AND FEATURE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY

The Promise

On November 16, Columbia records will release The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town
Story, a 3 CD/3 DVD box set chronicling the making of Bruce Springsteen‘s landmark 1978
album, Darkness on the Edge of Town. Media contents are packaged within an 80-page notebook
containing facsimiles from Springsteen’s original notebooks from the recording sessions, which include alternate
lyrics, song ideas, recording details, and personal notes in addition to a new essay by Springsteen and never-
before-seen photographs.

The set will include a digitally remastered version of Darkness on the Edge of Town, live concert footage
from a 1978 Houston show, a special 2009 performance of the album in its entirety at Asbury Park, a critically
acclaimed 90-minute documentary The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story, which offers
never-before-seen footage of Springsteen and the E Street Band shot between 1976 and 1978, including home
rehearsals and studio sessions, with new interviews with Springsteen, E Street Band members, manager Jon Landau,
former-manager Mike Appel, and others closely involved in the making of the record.

“Darkness was my ‘samurai’ record,” Springsteen writes, “stripped to the frame and ready to rumbleÂ…But
the
music that got left behind was substantial.” For the first time, fans will have access to two discs containing a total of
21 previously-unreleased songs from the Darkness recording sessions, songs that, as Springsteen writes,
“perhaps could have/should have been released after Born To Run and before the collection of songs that
Darkness on the Edge of Town became.” The tracklist is available below.

As of right now, you can stream 15 of the 21 tracks over at NPR.com.

Containing a wealth of previously unreleased material, The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town

Jerry Jams for Rex Benefit Album w/ Phish, SCI, Widespread

MAJOR ACTS HONOR GARCIA FOR A GOOD CAUSE

August 9, 2010 marks the 15-year anniversary of legendary musician and Grateful Dead co-founder Jerry Garcia‘s death. As a way to honor his musical and community legacy, the gifted musicians on this compilation have generously contributed stirring live performances of Jerry Garcia songs to benefit The Rex Foundation. Available in a variety of formats, Jerry Jams for Rex was brought to life by Brad Serling of nugs.net and includes four exclusive previously unreleased live Garcia songs from Phish, Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers, The String Cheese Incident and Keller & The Keels. Other artists featured on the album include The Black Crowes, Yonder Mountain String Band and more. All proceeds are a contribution to the Rex Foundation.

Furthering what Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead started 26 years ago, the Rex Foundation endeavors to fund grassroots programs that are often under the radar of larger funding entities, yet work in bold, innovative ways to carry out essential work toward a healthy environment, promotion of the arts, protection of indigenous cultures, assisting others less fortunate, building strong communities, and educating children and adults. The Rex Foundation has distributed $8.6 million in grants to over 1,000 programs across the U.S. and internationally, while also carrying out fundraising initiatives that foster creativity and positive community connections. Visit www.rexfoundation.org for a complete list of grantees and information about current initiatives.

Jerry Jams for Rex is possible because of the honorable contributions of music, resources and know-how of the participating artists and people involved in the initiative. The Rex Foundation extends its heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the generosity of spirit and action to all the people involved in creating Jerry Jams for Rex, as well as to all the people who purchase the compilation. Together, we honor Jerry Garcia and demonstrate the positive power of music and community spirit.

Slang heralds a dramatic leap forward for the New Jersey-based band. Tracks such as “Bring It On,” “Orphans”
and “Stay Lucky” bristle and burn with the spirit of soul and the artistic adventurousness and confidence of a band
that has come into its own and truly found its own voice.

JamBase Questionnaire: Keller Williams

May 21st, 2010 | No Comments

Welcome back to JamBase’s baker’s dozen of probing, wide-ranging questions to the bright lights in the jam scene (and beyond). Last time we heard from Cornmeal and upcoming installments will include insights from Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Reed Mathis and more!
Some folks are wonderful walking dichotomies. Keller Williams gives off an air of jovial brightness but there’s dark flurries under the surface. A sprite capable of making massive crowds grin, he’s also an intense, serious musician whose playing reflects hours of finger-knotting practice and exploration – even as he skips and flips switches and turns dials on his mad scientist array of effects and machines. Keller is a folkie with a heart for the 21st century, a merger of bluegrass ways and computer speed progress. Curious streams intermingle in the man, and one senses there’s all sorts of things going on behind those bright eyes even as they lose themselves in the amp thump freakin’ by the speakers at his shows.

Keller Williams by Rod Snyder

Williams’ latest offering is a new pairing with The Keels entitled Thief (arriving May 25 on SCI Fidelity). Opening with a rootsy take on Kris Kristofferson’s “Don’t Cuss The Fiddle,” Thief wends through a wild array that shows there’s far more than jam bands and the Dead on his personal jukebox. Keller and husband and wife duo Larry and Jenny Keel explore great numbers by Patterson Hood (“Uncle Disney”), Marcy Playground (“Sex and Candy”), and Amy Winehouse (‘Rehab”). A few kindred spirits like Danny Barnes and Yonder get the treatment, and hey do swing through Grateful Dead territory (‘Mountains of the Moon”), but along the way hit some unexpected gems from the Butthole Surfers (“Pepper”), Ryan Adams (“Cold Roses”) and Presidents of the USA (“Bath of Fire”) before landing back in Kristofferson’s catalog (“The Year 2003 Minus 25″). It’s a thoughtfully assembled collection that’s played with real skill and little fuss. The trio just digs in and mines out the best parts of these tunes. Every performance feels sincere, which in turn helps make these versions the group’s own. In the end one is left with a fuller picture of Keller Williams and the coal that fuels his musical engine. (Dennis Cook)
Here’s what Keller had to say to our inquiries.
1. Great music rarely happens withoutÂ…
Humans. Good music is often made with computers. I love it, but great music rarely happens without humans actually playing instruments. I heard that Toubab Krewe did a laptop set. I thought, “Hmmm. I love Toubab Krewe and I love electronic music. The two together be should interesting.” But I was elated when I heard that they proceeded to play the laptops with drumsticks and mallets, smashing and denting them with violent African beats. That’s cool.
2. The first album I bought wasÂ…
KISS’ Destroyer
3. The last song or album to really flip my wig wasÂ…
Pimps of Joytime‘s Funk Fixes and Remixes
4. When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to beÂ…
John Denver
5. My favorite sort of gig isÂ…
One with seating in the balcony and an open floor in front of me. One with a state of the art sounds system with flown speakers, hung in a line array. One with a bathroom backstage. One near a 24-hour Walmart with a McDonald’s.
6. One thing I wish people knew about me isÂ…
I have connections in real estate. It’s a buyers market right now.
7. I love the sound ofÂ…
My kids laughing
8. One day I hope to make an album as fantastic asÂ…
The Mother Hips’ Later Days
9. The best meal I ever had on tour was atÂ…
The opening gigs I did for Dave Matthews Band. Their catering team is crazy good.
10. I always find the coolest audiences inÂ…
Asbury Park, New Jersey at The Stone Pony
11. The worst habit I’ve picked up being on the road all the time isÂ…
Wanting to be on the road all the time
12. The Beatles or the Stones? Por que?
I’d like to see Paul on bass, Ringo on drums, Keith on guitar and Mick singing and shaking a tambourine. Imagine the backstage and catering at that gig.
13. The craziest thing I ever saw wasÂ…
A cop letting me go “with a warning” after stopping me for going the wrong way down the interstate. When I had long hair and a beard. Driving a beat up, 33-foot motorhome. At 3 a.m. That was crazy.
