Joe Bonamassa has announced the return of Sound Wave Beach Weekend for 2027 following a sold-out debut event. The artist-curated destination festival will once again take place in Miramar Beach, Florida, with fans able to sign up for pre-sale access and additional details at the event’s official website.

The 2027 edition will feature two performances from Bonamassa, along with a lineup that includes Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Rival Sons, Los Lonely Boys, The War and Treaty, Robert Randolph, The Record Company, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, and Bywater Call, among others. The weekend will also include artist collaborations, sit-ins, and special events, including a welcome beach bonfire hosted by Nikki Hill.

The announcement follows the inaugural Sound Wave Beach Weekend, which sold out during pre-sale and brought fans together for a three-day event combining live music with a beachside setting. The festival quickly established itself as a new destination event, with an emphasis on a smaller-scale experience and a curated lineup.

Hosted in partnership with Topeka, the festival is designed to offer a more streamlined experience for attendees. The 6,000-capacity venue, located steps from the beach and nearby accommodations, allows guests to move easily between daytime and evening activities. Each attendee is assigned a reserved “cove,” with food, drinks, and merchandise delivered directly.

Recent renovations to the venue include the addition of a lower bowl and upper lawn section, expanded video screens, more than 30 premium suites, a shaded artisan village, a food court, and a secondary stage.

Sound Wave Beach Weekend continues Bonamassa’s efforts to create live music experiences that bring together artists across blues, rock, Americana, soul, and roots genres in a collaborative setting.

Now Daniel Lopatin is back with a new track called “Dim Stars,” as well as an extended version of the Tranquilizer opener “For Residue.” The songs arrive amid OPN’s extended…

You’ve no doubt heard the phrase, “but for the grace of God, there go I.” For St. Louis native Adam Gaffney, sometimes God’s grace wasn’t around and so he went down a few harmful paths. He has a new album coming out next month, Product of Another Sad Song, and it’s centered around some of […]

You got your grip on my neck
Spit in my mouth and tell me what to do next
I’m afraid we’ve lost
Everything now

A plaintive song like All Said and Done slips under the door at 2 a.m., carrying the stale perfume of sex, smoke, and decisions you already know you’d repeat. You can hear the room inside it; the psychic square footage of one person pacing, rewinding, replaying, talking in circles to ghosts. Satin Stain, a Los Angeles-by-way-of-Canada presence, arrives with this single as if from nowhere, and it already feels like you’ve stepped into something in progress: a private ritual, shoes sticking to the floor, your pulse suddenly too loud for comfort.

Somewhere in the cracked hour between memory and misbehaviour, Satin Stain’s arresting new single drags up the hard truths most people would rather leave buried. Working alone, the artist stacks bass, jangling guitar, and voice into something lean, taut, and faintly dangerous. All Said and Done moves with a slow, deliberate ache, circling its own center without ever splitting wide open or offering easy release. You can hear traces of The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Chameleons in the architecture of the track, but Satin Stain uses those familiar cues to press into something more intimate and unsettled.

What remains? The sound of something already over: the paperwork filed, the dust settling, the silence after the damage has been done. This track lingers in that aftermath, worrying at betrayal and the strange gravity of longing for what has already slipped away. When the voice reaches backward, it carries the feel of someone pacing the same room over and over, wearing a path into the floorboards. The heartbreaking vocals hover just above the instrumentation, slightly removed, as though even the smallest shift in pressure might bring everything down.

Listen to All Said and Done below, or stream it here.

There’s already a low hum building around this project, the kind that spreads without much announcement, passed along by people who recognize the feeling before they recognize the name. Satin Stain keeps the identity just out of reach, and that distance works in their favour.
