Saturday started with not a cloud in the sky and I made sure to make it down to the stage for Arrested Development. They have been together for 17 years and their set was by far the best show I have seen all year. I highly recommend checking them out if you get the chance.

Richie Havens
Interview and Photos by Scott Preston
A sense of timelessness rings throughout Richie Havens’ latest release, Nobody Left to Crown, as though the passing years have only strengthened the meaning of his soul-filled folk rock. Nobody Left to Crown, which was released to the US on Verve Records on July 29th, attests that Richie Havens has never been more relevant, necessary even, than he is today.
Gifted with one of the most recognizable voices in popular music, Richie Havens has a soulful singing style that remains as unique and ageless as when he first emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960s. It’s a voice that has inspired and electrified audiences from the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton Presidential Inauguration in 1993 – coming full circle with the 30th Woodstock Anniversary celebration, “A Day In The Garden”, in 1999. Richie Havens is not a man to easily abandon his hopes for a better world. “We are at the dawn of major change”, he declares with a broad smile. Nobody Left to Crown is his heartfelt and unwavering contribution to these fine aspirations. Read more
