The Carolina Chocolate Drops and Punch Brothers will be among the performers at the first of four Dave Matthew Band Caravan festivals this summer, which takes place this weekend at Bader Field in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

In addition to performances from the Carolina Chocolate Drops, who take the Boardwalk Stage today at 2:30 PM, and Punch Brothers, who take the same stage at the same time tomorrow, the three-day festival includes performances from David Gray, The Flaming Lips, Dr. Dog, Guster, Vusi Mahlasela, The Head and the Heart, and many others, as well as full sets from the Dave Matthews Band each night. The festival weekend will also include a number of late night shows at other Atlantic City venues.

In two weeks, July 8–10, the Caravan pulls up in Chicago for the second three-day festival, at Lakeside, on the south shore of Lake Michigan. Emmylou Harris and Ben Folds will be among the weekend's performers, who also include Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Daniel Lanois, Vieux Farka Toure, Liz Phair, and many others, as well as a performance of Dark Side of the Moon by The Flaming Lips and full sets from the Dave Matthews Band.

The Carolina Chocolate Drops and Punch Brothers will be just missing each other at the ROMP bluegrass and roots music festival in Owensboro, Kentucky, this weekend, as Punch Brothers are there today, and the Chocolate Drops head there tomorrow. In fact, the Chocolate Drops will be playing the set just before Emmylou Harris performs.

    The Amsterdam-based duo of Bolivian-born singer/instrumentalist Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti and Chicago ex-pat jazz drummer Frank Rosaly have released a remix of "BALADA PARA LA CORPORATOCRACIA," from their debut album, MESTIZX, by Andy Moor, of the Dutch anarcho-punk band The Ex. "Andy has so much experience with communal music from around the globe ... but he’s also lived the life of a musical activist, which is apparent in everything he does," Ferragutti and Rosaly say. "We didn’t think 'BALADA PARA LA CORPORATOCRACIA' could get any filthier, but he proved us wrong!" Ferragutti, Rosaly, and their band tour the US in March, with shows in Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, NYC, and Big Ears Festival in Knoxville.
