Third-Eye-Blind brought their famous groove-rock out of the 90’s to San Diego’s KAABOO in a way that made it sound fresh and extremely relevant.

Two of the most talked-about roots music artists of the past year — Jason Isbell and Chris Stapleton — highlighted the eclectic mix of honorees, presenters and performers at the 15th Annual Americana Music Association Honors & Awards show Wednesday night at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium.

This was the first time I had even heard of Jason and I was pleasantly surprised when he came out to perform at this year’s KAABOO festival. Upon doing some research on him and his music, it came to my attention that Jason was more than a singer songwriter. As I discovered through his breakthrough […]
