Colorado based not-for-profit Conscious Alliance continues its mission to help feed America’s hungry communities, hosting food drives at various music events this winter/spring. Look for Conscious Alliance at the Langerado Music Festival at the Big Cypress Indian Reservation in Florida on March 6th -9th , along STS9 and EOTO Winter Tours, and at select one-off concert events including Keller Williams and The WMD’S on February 2nd at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, Colorado and New Monsoon (featuring Tim Carbone from Railroad Earth and EOTO with special guest Michael Kang) on February 9th at The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA. As always, patrons can donate 10 non-perishable food items or $10.00 to receive a limited edition rock art poster.

Driving onto Marvin's Mountaintop for the first time, I was overwhelmed at the beauty of the place. Now I'd heard plenty of tale about this legendary site, but couldn't have prepared myself for the natural wonder that awaited me and thousands of other music lovers and good-doers this eleventh annual holiday of jam, the much anticipated All Good Music Festival & Campout.

The San Francisco septet comes roaring out of the gates with their first new studio album since 2003’s “Downstream.” The sound, as it were, is full, rich and a heck of a lot tighter than any other recording including the live masterpiece from 2004, “Live at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival”—a series of songs that would have placed most any band on a cozy cushion for quite some time, but not New Monsoon. The eleven tracks on “The Sound” crackle with diamond-edged hard rock that is equal parts 70s thunder and 21st Century power jam. “Journeyman” opens the heart of their old sound and exposes a band ready to move forward. “The Sound” has Jeff Miller writing a very political song about the media onslaught that surrounds us day in and day out—trading on civil liberties today, hoping for tomorrow’s national security; meanwhile, someone has to turn off those darn TVs.

With two guitars, piano, bass, vocal harmonies, and an army of percussion that includes drumset, Tabla, congas, and more, New Monsoon have conquered stages across the country with their freewheeling improvisations. Now listeners will experience the focused power of the band’s imagination.

Who doesn't love a good mix CD? The folks at Pure Hemp and One Love Entertainment certainly must, and they went above and beyond to bring the 2-disc smorgasbord that is One Love Vol. 1 to life.
