Papadosio was born in backyards in and around Ohio University in Southeast Ohio 19 years ago, so it was fitting that the band threw one more house party for its adopted Asheville, NC hometown before going on indefinite touring hiatus. Over the weekend, the livetronic staple brought its annual Summer Sequence back to the Asheville area for a backyard get-together at Pisgah Brewing Company in neighboring Black Mountain.

Dave Matthews Band doesn’t normally take a set break, but it did last night in Alpharetta, GA. Just a few songs into the band’s show at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre, DMB was forced offstage for nearly an hour due to lightning in the area. When Dave Matthews Band returned, the group fittingly resumed the show with Led Zeppelin‘s “Fool in the Rain”.

Kitchen Dwellers used their headlining debut at Ryman Auditorium to honor late mandolinist Jeff Austin on the sixth anniversary of his tragic death. Late in the second set, Kitchen Dwellers sandwiched a cover of Yonder Mountain String Band‘s “Ten” in the middle of their own “Seven Devils” for a climactic set-closing jam. Tuesday’s show was part of Ryman’s Bluegrass Nights summer concert series and paired Dwellers with rising jamgrass band Mountain Grass Unit.

Telluride Bluegrass Festival is built on tradition, just ask Sam Bush who has played there every year since 1975. But just as the festival welcomes back acts like Bush, Chris Thile, and Béla Fleck year after year, it’s also a place for historic debuts. This past weekend, Telluride Bluegrass Festival hosted the first-ever performance by Toy Factory Project, the all-star tribute to the Marshall Tucker Band led by Marcus King and Blackberry Smoke’s Charlie Starr.
