Mickey Hart and
Bill Kreutzmann, the rhythm section behind The Grateful Dead, is hitting the road this summer as The
Rhythm Devils promising some highly danceable electronic and percussion driven grooves. Peep the interesting choice of bandmates on this next run…
But the 2010 incarnation of the Rhythm Devils is guaranteed to be unlike anything that’s come before—the dynamic mix of the musicians’ individual but complementary styles and approaches is sure to lead to some serious sparks. “It’s a great combination,” says Hart. “You have the deep trance music from Nigeria and West Africa that Sikiru brings to us and there’s Davy who at any moment just might rip the sky apart with his guitar and Andy Hess is a real gem of a bass player. Joining us for the first part of the tour is the ‘one man band’ Keller Williams and on the second part of our tour is Tim Bluhm, who will bring his ferocious California guitar style and beautiful vocals to the mix.”
Dates after the jump. Keller also just put out a new album of covers called Thief
. Anyone get a chance to listen to it yet? How does it stack up to all things Keller? READ MORE

The lineup for
Jam Cruise 9 was just posted with
Bob Weir,
Rhythm Devils, Robert Randolph,
Galactic and many more set to sail to Mexico early next January. The ship is set to stop at Roatan, Honduras and Costa Maya, Mexico, all the while transforming a normal cruise ship into the world’s best floating music festival. I’m not sure this lineup is enough to get me there, but I know some friends that already pre-booked and I imagine we’ll see a few more artists added the next few weeks as they work to get people booking reservations. We’ll see…I’m always on the fence with this one given how committed it is, but I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about it.
