Mary with Joe Vitale

Joe’s been out on the road lately with the “old new” Buffalo Springfield. Founding members Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Richie Furay, along with Joe (for Dewey Martin) and Rick Rosas (for Bruce Palmer) performed a couple of days ago at the Bonnaroo Festival after doing a handful of shows in California, and Furay recently confirmed their fall tour (review @ Variety here.)

An interview with Joe is featured in the latest issue of Classic Drummer magazine. There’s also an opportunity for readers to cast their votes online for inductees into the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame. Ironically, Joe’s name is missing from the prepared online ballot, but fortunately, you can write him in.

Who knows where else Joe may turn up in the next few weeks? Stay tuned.

Original Buffalo Springfield members Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Richie Furay will re-unite to perform on both days of Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit Event at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA on October 23 + 24. It will be the first time the surviving original members (Dewey Martin †2009, Bruce Palmer †2004) perform together in public since 1968.

Tickets go on sale this Sunday via Livenation. Line-up and details at the Bridge School Site.

Crosby, Stills and Nash have annouced they will tour this year, beginning with mostly U.S. west coast dates in May and June. The trio will then head across the pond for shows in July. Certainly more dates are forthcoming.

If you’re within 100,000 miles of Live Oak, Florida, on April 16 & 17 then you’ll want to high-tail it down to this year’s Wanee Festival. Headline act is the Allman Brothers Band. Stephen Stills has added it and faves Derek Trucks and Govt Mule are gonna be there. As a matter of fact, everybody’s playing. Swamp stompin’ on steroids.

Tickets are on sale now.
