Watch Bob Weir Perform "Loose Lucy" At Relix Studios June 28, 2017 11:56

-
With just three shows remaining on Dead & Company's summer tour, it seems fitting that Relix has shared footage of a recent acoustic performance from Bob Weir. The Dead & Company frontman stopped by Relix Studios last fall and performed a special acoustic take on one of our favorite Grateful Dead originals, "Loose Lucy." While Weir and company have spent the past month playing many of America's biggest amphitheaters and stadiums, we can't get enough of a stripped down acoustic Bobby performance.  Full video of "Loose Lucy" can be watched below.

Relix Premiers SUSTO's New Music Video "Jah Werx" June 15, 2017 10:18

Click Here: Read Our Recent Interview With Susto's Justin Osborne

Charleston-based SUSTO (pronounced “soos-toh”) premieres the new video for their single “Jah Werx” via Relix Magazine. View the video HERE and share it HERE. Relix explains that “the band described the inspiration of the song, citing the great influence of Bob Marley. They particularly noted that ‘Jah’ is the Rasta word for God and ‘Jah Works’ is the Rasta term for ‘God is good’ or ‘God is working,’ which led to this song title. ‘For our song ‘Jah Werx,’ we took this phrase and reinterpreted it in terms of our own reality and understanding of the universe.’”
-
The band continues to crisscross North America, touring constantly in support of their new album & I’m Fine Today  (out now on Missing Piece/Caroline). Bandleader Justin Osborne sat down with Billboard in May to discuss their growing career HERE. See below for a complete tour itinerary.
-
The five-piece band has made a name for themselves in recent years playing high profile festivals including Hangout, Austin City Limits, Stagecoach and AmericanaFest along with upcoming dates at Pickathon and Hopscotch and opening slots with The Lumineers, Band of Horses and The Head and The Heart. Their first US headline tour took place in the winter/spring of 2017, with sold out shows in San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Washington, DC, Charleston, Savannah, Chapel Hill and Nashville.
-
Earlier this year, the band made their national television debut performance on “CBS This Morning: Saturday,” watch HERE. They also performed a Facebook live-streamed session for NPR Music’s Night Owl series HERE along with performances at Rolling Stone and Paste.
-
& I’m Fine Today was recorded at The Space in Charleston, SC. Of the record, founder and frontman Osborne says, “Something to take away from it is just understanding and appreciating when you’re not always fine. This album is about coming to terms with yourself and feeling okay with your place in the universe.”
-
SUSTO is comprised of Osborne (vocals, guitar), Dries Vandenberg (guitar), Marshall Hudson (drums), Jenna Desmond (bass) and Corey Campbell (guitar, keys). The band name derives from a medical syndrome specific to Latin American culture that roughly translates as “panic attack.”
-
The band released their self-titled debut in April 2014, which Charleston City Paperdescribes as “Southern Gothic country through and through.” The following year SUSTO recorded a live album featuring Ben Bridwell from Band of Horses and later went on to be the support act for Bridwell and Iron & Wine on their fall 2015 tour. Daytrotter, via Paste, described the live performance as “breathtaking."
