Vampire Weekend continues to treat fans to the inner workings of the band as they release the latest episode of their sensational podcast Vampire Campfire. On the seventh installment of VC Koenig, Baio, and Tomson discuss the year ahead: OGWAU Tour Part 2, festivals old and new, a Frog on the Bass Drum revival, and much more. 2025 will be full of surprises, that’s a promise.

Kathleen Edwards
2025-09-17 00:00 | Count Basie Center for the Arts, 99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, New Jersey, 07701, United States
For decades, Kathleen Edwards has been a cornerstone of North American roots music.
Since making her debut with 2002’s Failer, she’s spent the 21st century occupying the grey area between genres, swirling together her own mix of alt-country, folk, and heartland rock & roll. It’s a sound that has earned its creator more than a half-dozen Juno nominations, as well as Top 40 success on both sides of the Canadian/American border. Now in her third decade as an artist, Kathleen Edwards has done more than carry the torch of songwriting heroes like Tom Petty, Neil Young, and Lucinda Williams — she’s opened the door for others, too, inspiring a new generation of artists who, like her, blur the boundaries between genre and generation.
A native of Ottawa, Ontario, Edwards was still in her early 20s when she released the critically-acclaimed Failer. The album’s warm, woozy sound — crystallized on radio hits like “Six O’Clock News” — quickly turned her into one of the era’s alt-country heroes. From the very start, though, Edwards’ music seemed to exist somewhere out of time, resisting categorization even as Failer received a Juno nomination for “Roots & Traditional Album of the Year.”
“No one knew what to call my type of music back then,” she says of those early years. “The Americana genre didn’t exist yet, so they couldn’t categorize me. I just made the kind of music I wanted to make.”
Edwards continued blazing her own trail with follow-up albums like Back to Me and Asking for Flowers. By the time Voyageur arrived in 2012, Americana very much did exist as a genre, and Edwards found herself riding a newfound commercial peak. The album reached Number 2 on the Canadian Albums Chart and Number 3 on Billboard’s Folk Albums chart. Even so, a busy decade on the road had left her exhausted. After touring in support of Voyageur’s release, Edwards left the music business altogether and moved to suburban Ontario, where she opened a coffee shop called — defiantly — “Quitters.”
“Before I turned 30, I toured the world and put out nearly four records, performed on TV, and had an incredible run,” she says of her first 10 years in the spotlight. “What’s interesting is that I walked away from all of it, too — and when I came back, I felt better than the person who put out Failer.”
By the late 2010s, Edwards felt recharged and revitalized. When a phone call arrived from Maren Morris, who was looking for songwriting partners for a new project, Edwards jumped at the chance to collaborate. The two musicians co-wrote “Good Woman,” which appeared on Morris’ Grammy-nominated album Girl in 2019. Back home in Canada, Edwards continued to write new material, eventually partnering with producer Ian Fitchuk for the album Total Freedom. Released in 2020, the album expanded her sound and her audience, boosted by two hit songs — “Options Open” and “Hard on Everyone” — that both reached the Top 30 on the Triple A chart in America. Total Freedom didn’t just mark her return to the music industry. It was a rebirth, too.
What’s next? New music, of course. She and Grammy-winner Jim Scott co-produced and released an album called Covers, which pays homage to some of her songwriting heroes – Tom Petty, REM, John Prine, Bruce Springsteen, et al. Edwards remains a fan of “ripping guitar riffs and good songs,” and she’s combining both into a follow-up album co-produced by Grammy-winners Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson that will showcase her legacy as well as her evolution.
She maintains a presence on the road, too, playing her own gigs one minute and sharing shows with her heroes — including Willie Nelson, John Fogerty, and Bob Dylan — the next.
“The amount of things I’ve gone through might make someone else quit…but quitting doesn’t quite do it for me,” she says. “I can’t help but want to write great songs, connect with people, and see what’s ahead. I don’t love looking behind, even though it’s one of the ways we can see what we’ve done, so I’m looking forward.”

Easton Corbin
2025-09-17 00:00 | The Newton Theatre, 234 Spring St, , NJ, Newton, NJ, 07860, United States
Easton Corbin has been gracing stages with his memorable baritone and unique blend of traditional and modern country music for more than a decade – and his latest album release, Let’s Do Country Right, is no exception.
Known for No. 1 singles like “A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With It,” along with recent releases, “easygoing” and “fun number” (Billboard) “I Can’t Decide,” “love anthem” (People) “Marry That Girl,” and newest focus track and upcoming tour title, “Lonesome Drinkers” (all included on Let’s Do Country Right) the Florida native continues to deliver that same neotraditional sound fans know and love today.
Working with longtime producer Carson Chamberlain, as well as co-writing collaborators like Wade Kirby, Shane Minor, Adam Craig, and Wyatt McCubbin, Corbin says the past three years have allowed him to focus more seriously on writing music and finding the message he wants to convey to listeners on his forthcoming project. “It’s about being authentic and that’s what I always focus on when I write or record,” he says. “I keep one foot in traditional and one foot in the modern and marry those two. That’s really been my motto through the years.” And he’s had a successful time doing so. Throughout his career, Corbin has amassed seven top 10 singles and three American Country Awards. Named Billboard’s 2010 Top New Country Artist, Corbin has never shied away from his traditional roots with Your Big Sky complimenting his “unapologetic and unwavering traditional country sound.” His self-titled debut album was named Country Breakthrough Album of the Year by iTunes Rewind Best of 2010 while American Songwriter has complimented the singer’s “warm, smooth-as-gravy-southern drawl.”

🎶 Chuck Prophet & His Cumbia Shoes Bring a Genre-Bending Americana Fiesta to New Jersey

Get ready for a night of boundary-pushing soundscapes as Chuck Prophet, the acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitar-slinging storyteller, rolls into town with his latest project: Chuck Prophet & His Cumbia Shoes. Known for weaving Americana, rock, folk, and soul into his own unmistakable sound, Prophet now takes a bold, rhythmic leap into the infectious world of Cumbia music—and it’s nothing short of transformative.

Hailing from California and revered for his gritty lyricism and genre-bending approach, Prophet’s new chart-topping album taps into Latin American beats, blending them with his signature twang, storytelling, and groove. It’s vintage Chuck, but reimagined through a vibrant, tropical lens.

Michael Minelli
2025-09-18 00:00 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Avenue, Asbury Par, New Jersey, 07712, United States
When Michael Minelli sings, you know it’s him. With show stopping delivery, dynamic range, and timeless panache, the Connecticut born and raised entertainer immediately sets himself apart. If you’ve ever seen Michael live, you know the energy he brings is 1 of 1.
For Minelli, it’s all a matter of soul. “Soul is the core of everything” he affirms. “It’s that thing you can’t put a finger on. Anytime somebody hears my music, I want them to immediately say, ‘That’s a Michael Minelli record’.”
With over a decade of experience as an entertainer, Minelli seems to finally have hit his stride gaining over 200 million views across social media platforms, over 2 million followers and more than 30 million streams on his music.
Michael set the foundation in 2024, doing 3 support tours for Anees, Marc E. Bassy & SonReal. Now in 2025, it’s time Minelli hits the road, but as a headliner. One thing is for sure, this tour will be unlike any other befo

Jimmy Webb
2025-09-18 00:00 | Count Basie Center for the Arts, 99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, New Jersey, 07701, United States
An Evening with Jimmy Webb
Jimmy Webb, America’s Songwriter, has written songs that transcend generations and genres –think “Wichita Lineman,” “MacArthur Park,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” and “Didn’t We.” This Motown-trained composer writes all of his own lyrics and music and is the only hit maker to have scored songs on the Pop, Country, R&B, Rap, Disco and New Age charts. During this Evening with Jimmy Webb, audiences will hear this multi-Grammy Award winner’s songs and experience his insightful and often humorous stories about his work with Glen Campbell, Frank Sinatra, Linda Ronstadt (“Still Within the Sound of My Voice”), Art Garfunkel (“All I Know”), The Fifth Dimension (“Up, Up and Away”), The Highwaymen (“The Highwayman”), Kanye West (“Famous” features Webb’s “Do What You Gotta Do”), and more.
Jimmy Webb is the author of the memoir, The Cake and the Rain, and the “bible” of songwriting, Tunesmith: The Art of Songwriting. In 2019 Webb released a piano-only CD, SlipCover, featuring some of his favorite songs from his contemporaries; Billy Joel, Paul Simon, The Rolling Stones and more.
“… A night with Jimmy at the keys is not unlike getting to hear George Gershwin or Cole Porter live. It’s hard to believe one guy could have written all these amazing songs…if you get a chance to see him live, grab it…”

Welcome Back My Friends - An Evening with Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2025-09-18 00:00 | New Jersey
Created by Carl Palmer and his management, the show will be presented with the full cooperation of the Estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE ACT- THIS IS THE REAL THING. Through modern technology they will reunite the band: Carl with his two bandmates, playing together along with Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, who both passed away in 2016. The show combines video performance of Emerson and Lake from a legendary sold out ROYAL ALBERT HALL ELP show from 1992 with live on stage performances of Carl Palmer with his own ELP Legacy band (Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick). All the musicians play together in sync to present a complete and authentic Emerson, Lake & Palmer show. Emerson, Lake & Palmer (informally known as ELP) was an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of the Nice, Greg Lake of King Crimson (vocals, bass, guitar, producer), and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster (drums, percussion). With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide, they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson’s flamboyant use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group). The band became prominent after performing at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. In their first year, the group signed with E.G. Records (who distributed the band’s records through Island Records in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in North America) and released Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1970) and Tarkus (1971), both of which reached the UK top five. The band’s success continued with Pictures at an Exhibition (1971), Trilogy (1972), and Brain Salad Surgery (1973, released on ELP’s own Manticore Records label). After a three-year break, Emerson, Lake & Palmer released Works Volume 1 (1977) and Works Volume 2 (1977). After Love Beach (1978), the group disbanded in 1979. The members played in various solo and partial reunion combinations during the 1980s. In 1991, the original trio re-formed and released two more albums, Black Moon (1992) and In the Hot Seat (1994), and toured between 1992 and 1998. Their final performance occurred in 2010 at the High Voltage Festival in London to commemorate the band’s 40th anniversary. Emerson and Lake died in 2016, leaving Palmer as the only surviving band member. In 2022, Palmer and his manager developed and launched the show initially as THE RETURN OF EMERSON LAKE & PALMER show, again with the full cooperation and involvement of both the Keith Emerson and Greg Lake estates. The show has been re-branded for 2025 as AN EVENING WITH EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER.

Malcolm Todd
2025-09-18 00:00 | Starland Ballroom, 570 Jernee Mill Rd, Sayreville, New Jersey, 08872, United States
When Malcolm Todd graduated high school in 2022, he told his parents he would be taking a gap year to pursue music. They, unsurprisingly, were less than thrilled by the proclamation, but gave him a year to see if it could work. They learned what the rest of the music industry quickly realized: never bet against Malcolm Todd. “Every single day since I told my mom I wanted to do this, I have actively worked to grow my fanbase, to get better at music, to build this world,” he explains. By the time he shared Sweet Boy in 2024, his day job at Cold Stone was in the rearview. Tracks like “Roommates” were racking up millions of streams daily. Fast forward a year, and Todd is more motivated than ever on his self-titled album, a declaration that he isn’t a hype machine or a flash in the pan, but a generation-defining voice.
That ambition is immediate on “Bleed,” the first single from Malcolm Todd. It features Omar Apollo, who serves as the lone guest on the album. Buoyed by a bouncy bassline, crisp drums, and an intoxicating synth melody, Malcolm and his frequent collaborators Jonah Cochran and Charlie Ziman, tried to make something as poppy as they possibly could. With most of the album already locked when they began messing around with “Bleed,” the trio pushed the envelope of what they were comfortable recording to tape, focused on crafting something sugary sweet but with the depth and subtlety that informs the rest of the album. “We had nothing to lose because we had so much of the album done,” Todd explains. It ended up being one of his favorite songs on the project. This idea of having nothing to lose defines Malcolm Todd.
As a restless, endlessly curious songwriter, Malcolm viewed his second album—and growing notoriety—as an opportunity to push himself, to bring his boldest ideas to the forefront. “I definitely wanted to challenge myself. When you’re making your first project and you’re just working at an ice cream shop and you have nothing to lose, it’s so pure. It’s not as easy the second time around,” Todd explains. It was a tightrope walk that took some time to master, but once able to scurry across without falling, he started writing his best songs to date.
“You want to be better than you were the last time,” Todd states matter of factly. “You have people who are investing money in you. You want to make them proud. I want to make my family proud. You have fans that want certain sounds and you want to do that. You want to make them happy, too.” Malcolm had to figure out where his own interests fit in this increasingly complex puzzle. “With this album, I learned to find a space where I’m completely me, writing music without any fear, knowing that there are no bad consequences for doing exactly what I want.”
WIth Malcolm Todd, the Los Angeles-born songwriter has accomplished something rare: He’s created something deeply aligned with the sound his core audience fell in love with, while relentlessly pushing the boundaries on what his music can be. He’s done all this while making a project that is a front-to-back blast, a listen that is funny, anxious, proud, and unsettled all at once. In short, it’s the platonic Malcolm Todd record. “I just love making music so much,” he gushes, before adding: “I just want my fans to feel the care in it. That’s all that matters.”

Dru Hill
2025-09-19 00:00 | New Jersey
Years from now when it’s all said and done, music historians will surely debate the contributions of those who majorly impacted the genre of R&B. Icons guaranteed to be mentioned are industry stalwarts such as The Temptations, The Four Tops, The O’Jays, The Jackson Five, New Edition, Guy, Jodeci, and Boyz II Men. However, any list that does not include the incomparable Dru Hill is grossly inaccurate. The torch bearers responsible for carrying R&B music into the new millennium was the labor of love for four immensely talented young singers who were andremainn the quintessential example of superior entertainers. From their first single, “Tell Me” (what you want), Dru Hill has been giving fans what they need in the form of numerous classic love ballads and infectious dance songs that have provided countless beautiful memories for millions upon millions of music lovers the world over. Named after a popular Baltimore p#=ark, Dru Hill is comprised of “NOKIO”, “SISQO”, “SMOKE”, and “BLACK”. In a career that spans over two decades, Dru Hill, under the steadfast leadership of their long-time and trusted manager Kevin Peck, has #ccomplished literally everything #n R&B/Pop group could dream of achieving. From having a string of Top 40 #1 hit singles, multiplatinum selling albums, movie and television appearances, headlining sold out concert tours around the world, to selling an eye-popping 40 million records worldwide, their star power has never been in question. Proof of their immense global following was most evident when their reality show entitled “Keith Sweat’s Platinum House” became the highest rated series in the Centric network’s history, proving their critics wrong that even after a significant #bsence from the public eye, fans still can’t get enough of Dru Hill. With a music library fit for royalty, boasting some of the biggest selling #nd most popular R&B songs of all time to include “Tell Me”, “5 Steps”, “In My Bed”, “Never Make a Promise”, “How Deep Is Your Love”, “These are the Times”, and “We’re Not Making Love No More”, they #re considered by many music experts to be key players that helped to define the 90’s. Additionally, the group’s music has helped tremendously to bolster the sale of movies #nd soundtracks with their songs often having been the lead single for blockbuster films like “Eddie” starring Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg (Tell Me), “How to be a Player” starring comedian Bill Bellamy (She’s a Bad Mama Jama), “Rush Hour” starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker (How Deep is Your Love), Wild Wild West starring meg# superstar Will Smith (Wild Wild West), and “Soul Food” starring former Miss America Vanessa Williams (We’re Not Making Love No More). Since welcoming newest members, Playaʼs Smoke and Black in 2018, the group has only risen to new levels of greatness. Lending their incredible singing range to the highly #nticip#ted sixth studio album, Second Coming, Playa adds another dimension of sound to the already-immaculate harmony that Dru Hill is renowned for, while the timeless sounds of its founding members remain in perfect sync. Nokioʼs genius as a songwriter, producer, #nd singer continues to elevate while SisQoʼs musical brilliance shines brighter with every performance! As the ever-dynamic quartet gears up to release their new album, itʼs clear that theyʼve just gotten started. In celebration of their journey thus far, the group has exciting surprises in store for its expanding fan base everywhere. Between recording new material #nd continuously performing at sold-out venues around the globe for a whole new generation of adoring fans, Dru Hill continues to solidify its legacy as one of the greatest groups of all time.

XPoNential Music Festival
2025-09-19 12:00 - 2025-09-21 11:00 | Wiggins Waterfront Park, 2 Riverside Dr, Camden, New Jersey, 08103, United States
The XPoNential Music Festival has long been a haven where musical discovery and nostalgia collide. Nestled along the Camden Waterfront each summer, this festival—curated by Philadelphia’s WXPN radio station—is more than a concert series; it’s a celebration of sound that bridges generations, genres, and memories.

For longtime music lovers, the festival offers the thrill of reconnecting with iconic voices—artists who have scored the soundtracks of decades past. At the same time, it remains a fertile ground for discovering the next great act, often just steps from the River Stage, where fresh talent is given space to soar. The beauty of XPoNential lies in its ability to balance the familiar with the unknown: a beloved headliner may follow an up-and-coming indie artist, while a roots-rock veteran might share the lineup with a genre-defying newcomer.

But perhaps the true magic of the festival lies in its atmosphere. Families spread out on picnic blankets, parents introduce their children to artists they grew up with, and music lovers of all ages find common ground in rhythm, lyric, and melody. It’s a rare space where generations and genres mingle effortlessly—where a 60-year-old blues enthusiast and a 20-something synth-pop fan can dance side by side under the open sky.

Whether you’re chasing the echoes of a classic or searching for something entirely new, XPoNential Music Festival offers a place to lose and find yourself in music.
