Earlier this year, vocalist Maynard James Keenan threw a 60th birthday bash that evolved into a sold-out month-long tour featuring Puscifer, A Perfect Circle, and Primus. The party returns in 2025 with Sessanta 2.0, which will see the three bands embark on another U.S. tour.

Sharay Reed has released a new album called “Autumn Electric,” which serves as a fall counterpart to his summer-themed “Evergreen.” Like his previous release, he composed the album to accompany his morning walks.

In a strange twist of events, Jane’s Addiction has released a new single just days after an on-stage fight that led to their reunion tour being canceled. “True Love” joins “Imminent Redemption” as part of the first new music from the band’s original lineup in 34 years.

Consider The Source has returned with “The Stare,” a five-song album written and recorded during the pandemic. The trio enlisted the help of producer David Prater, who is well known for his work with Dream Theater.

Jazz bass legend Chuck Israels has teamed up with Sher Music to publish “Bass Foundations: Principles of Jazz Bass Line Construction.” The 123-page book includes three main sections – “Principles of Jazz Bass Line Construction,” “Transcriptions with the Bill Evans Trio,” and “Transcriptions and Arrangements” – broken down into smaller lessons.

With those dates beginning in Europe in late October, the prog rock titans have revealed the North American leg of the run.

Oftentimes, bands tighten up their live show as a tour progresses. If that’s the case, then Janek Gwizdala’s trio must have been airtight in 2022. The bassist/bandleader has just released “Live in London,” which was captured on the first night of his European tour.

Dave Matthews Band has announced a six-night fall outing. The group will be riding high during the tour as it comes just a month after their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The Bad Plus recently announced their upcoming album Complex Emotions will drop on November 8th. The quartet, featuring the magical rhythm section of Dave King and Reid Anderson, has now unveiled a set of winter tour dates to support it.
