If you want to have an awesome Thanksgiving this year you have the chance.  Instead of hanging with the family this year why not spend the evening with Phil Lesh & Terrapin Family Band.

It’s election season.  If somehow you missed all of the mud-slinging campaign ads that have been flooding the airways the last several months we at Guitar News Daily want to do our civic duty and remind you to get out and vote.  If having your voice heard isn’t enough incentive HeadCount gives you another reason to get off the couch for a little while.

Fans of Umphrey’s McGee will be glad to learn that the group has finalized their winter tour plans and will be heading out on the road beginning in January 2015.

If you are like me then it must make you feel old when it hits you that Eric Clapton will be turning 70 years old.  Clapton will be hitting this milestone on March 30th.  But don’t think for one second that he’s checking himself into a retirement home so he can quietly live the rest of his life.

Les Claypool and the gents from Primus are’nt known only for their unique and awesome music!  Even on what I would imagine is a relatively calm day the band leans toward the eccentric side of the scale.  Wait until you see what Primus has in store for a few lucky fans.

Tuesday was a good day to be a fan of the San Francisco Giants…and The Grateful Dead!

Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters have been busy.  I’m sure that anyone who is a fan of the band is aware that they have a new album coming out in November.  If you haven’t been keeping up to date on the latest Foo news then check this out.  

Fans of Incubus will be excited to know that the band is headed back to the studio and according to singer Brandon Boyd they’ve begun ‘carving away’ at a new album. 

Phish fans know that spending Halloween with Phish is usually an experience unlike many others.  The band has been known for putting on a ‘musical costume’ at their Halloween shows and delighting Phans by playing an album from another band in its entirety (that’s Phish’s costume).  However, last Halloween Phish did something a little out of character and played their own new material from what would eventually become Fuego.  Is this a sign of things to come for future Halloween…

Gene Simmons is back in the news again. Not for his music with KISS and not because of the Arena Football team he is part owner of. This time he had some more controversial statements to make.
