It’s been 25 years since the tragic events of 9/11. Much has been said about the profound losses and changes to all of our lives after that day. It also happened to be a music new release day, and a bunch of great albums were released that day and quickly overshadowed by what was going on in the world. Today we listen back to some of that great music and then widen the focus to listen to musical memories from a year of great joys and sorrows.

Celebrating 20 festivals of amazing and diverse music in the woods at the Trout Forest Music Festival, programmed by our friend Devin Latimer! Devin took over booking the music for the festival in 2007, and I’ve been a regular attendee and a huge fan ever since! 2026 marks his 20th festival (including a couple of off-site festivals) and I thought it was worth a look back at some of my personal highlights from those festivals. Thank you Devin for coming up with one of the most impressive and entertaining lineups on a shoestring budget. It really is remarkable how great he’s done over the past 20 years. Here’s hoping for many more!
