We’re incredibly honored to be part of this very special evening celebrating the life and legacy of the incomparable Jesse Ed Davis.

A heartfelt thank you to Douglas Miller for inviting The Band Blackbird to perform the opening set. Doug’s dedication to preserving and sharing Jesse’s story has inspired so many, and we’re grateful to be included in such a meaningful gathering.

It’s an incredible privilege to share the evening with legends including Jim Keltner, Elliot Easton, Van D**e Parks, Bob Glaub, Scott McCaughey, Mark Shark, Steve Jenkins, and Doug himself as we come together to honor one of the most influential musicians in rock history.

We’ll kick things off with a special set at 5 PM before the celebration begins. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, we’d love to see you there as we celebrate Jesse’s enduring legacy through music, stories, and community.

See you in Venice. ❤️🎶

Dead by Daylight has introduced its first Indigenous Survivor.

Shane “Giiwewigaabaw” Wiigwaas joined the game in The Life Road, a new DLC chapter released June 25.

According to Dead by Daylight, Shane is an Anishinaabe attorney from the fictional Glass River First Nation.

In the character’s backstory, Shane was raised with an understanding that justice was not only about punishment, but about restoring balance.

The character is voiced by Dallas Goldtooth, a Mdewakanton Dakota/Diné actor, writer and activist known for Reservation Dogs, Fallout, and The 1491s.

The release also included collaboration with Anishinaabe artist Tsista Kennedy, whose work helped shape the chapter’s artwork and visual world.

Hi, I’m hosting a show this summer and I love to share music from Native artists. If you send me a recording that is clean for radio play, I’ll see if I can play it on the airwaves
