The Music Roadtrip app is rolling into Spokane, Washington, a city that built its scene on grit and persistence. Seattle overshadowed it, but Spokane kept its own circuits alive — punk halls, metal nights, DIY rooms, and restored theaters that survived lean years. Today the downtown core reflects that mix: polished stages next to rooms that still feel loud and local. Here are five essential stops.

🎸 Knitting Factory [Spokane] started bringing major tours to Spokane in the late 2000s. Deftones, Ice Cube, Sleater-Kinney, and St. Vincent have all landed here, and the production team gives it one of the most reliable midsize calendars in the Northwest.

🎤 The District Bar leans into Spokane’s heavier DNA. Touring punk, metal, hardcore, and underground hip-hop fit right into a room shaped by decades of warehouse shows and VFW-hall bills.

🎶 The Bing Crosby Theater opened in 1915 and later took the name of the city’s most famous native son. Strong acoustics and a preserved interior make it a natural home for jazz, acoustic tours, and full-band sets that benefit from an old-world theater design.

💿 4000 Holes Record Store has been a collector anchor since the early ’80s. Its Beatles-inspired name and deep racks made it a meeting point for the musicians who shaped Spokane’s indie and punk scenes through the ’90s.

🍺 The Big Dipper Spokane has hosted shows since the late ’70s and remains one of the city’s busiest grassroots rooms. Rock, punk, metal, and all-ages bills keep it tied directly to Spokane’s identity.

🧭 Visit Spokane keeps travelers updated on shows, festivals, and events around the Lilac City.

Their music has appeared in Apple TV+’s High Desert and the film Lorelei, with more songs and appearances in upcoming features like Carolina Caroline and an Ethan Hawke-directed Merle Haggard doc.

Praised by the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Billboard, River continues to push genre boundaries with a powerhouse band and an unmistakable sound that unites fans across the musical spectrum.

The Music Roadtrip app is rolling into Honolulu, Hawaii, a city shaped by decades of reggae, rock, and touring pop acts hitting the islands. Rooms here balance local history with whatever’s coming off the mainland next. Here are five essential stops.

🎸 The Republik is the island’s primary midsize room and the place most national acts hit when they come to O‘ahu. Turnstile, JPEGMAFIA, Mitski, Omar Apollo, and The 1975 have all come through recently, along with a steady wave of reggae tours. The clean layout and sharp production crew give the room a reputation as one of the most reliable stops in the Pacific.

🎤 Blaisdell Center dates back to 1964 and sits at the center of Honolulu’s entertainment history. Elvis’ 1973 Aloha from Hawaii satellite concert was filmed here, and the building later hosted generations of major pop, rock, and island-music tours. The room still carries that lineage; big shows hit here first, and locals have decades of memories tied to it.

🎶 HBSC remains one of the busiest multi-room setups in the city. Touring metal, hip-hop, and indie acts all cycle through, and local reggae, Jawaiian, and DJ crews treat it as a proving ground. The schedule rarely slows down, and the crowds are used to digging in late.

💿 Hungry Ear Records opened in 1980, making it Hawaii’s oldest record store. Generations of island musicians have come through these bins — from early Jawaiian players to members of The Green, Natural Vibrations, and the broader local reggae scene. The shop’s deep Hawai‘i section is one of the best snapshots of how island music evolved over the last forty years.

🍺 NextDoor sits in the middle of Chinatown and has been one of Honolulu’s most consistent club stages since the 2000s. Electronic shows, indie bills, rap nights, and experimental artists all cycle through, and the venue was an early platform for local creatives who helped shape the neighborhood’s arts identity.

🧭 Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority keeps travelers plugged into events and cultural happenings across Honolulu and the islands.

ARE YOU READY FOR FREDDY?

The Freddy Fender Estate is thrilled to announce a landmark partnership with MCA ( Universal Music Publishing Nashville) to honor & elevate the legacy of the one & only King of TexMex Country, Freddy Fender!

"Are You Ready for Freddy" will make its long-awaited debut on streaming platforms on December 12, remastered & available worldwide for the first time!

The release marks the 50th anniversary of the 1975 hit album, the celebrated follow-up to the legendary cross-over album, “Before the Next Teardrop Falls”.

A maverick country, Freddy Fender had three successful careers, as a Hispanic/pop star in the late 50's, a country pop star in the 70's, & a member of the Grammy award-winning Texas Tornadoes in the 90's.

He was born Baldemar Huerta in the Rio Grande Valley town of San Benito, Texas.

He grew up in a barrio that, he was quick to point out, was not a crowded ghetto but just a poor Hispanic neighborhood.

The first music he played was Tejano, conjunto, Tex-Mex- the rambunctious combination of polka (from the German settlers of Texas) and traditional Mexican music- he learned by watching and listening at weddings and other neighborhood events.

Fender mixed American rock & roll and country music with Mexican American conjunto instrumentation (accordion, guitar, bass, & drums) to create his unique Tejano sound. He sang in both English & Spanish and found early success through recording cover versions of popular songs in Spanish.

"Freddy is a legend in Country Music and bringing many of his records back to streaming for his fans to enjoy and treasure is important to us. We hope that fans will join us in enjoying his music once more, as we have so much in store."
- Evangeline Huerta (Fender's wife and Head of the Estate)

This release marks the first in a series of partnerships and collaborations dedicated to celebrating Freddy Fender’s enduring impact.

To mark the momentous anniversary, the Estate will host a hometown listening party in San Benito, Texas—celebrating the cultural legacy and timeless sound of one of Texas music’s most beloved icons.

The Music Roadtrip app is rolling into New Orleans, Louisiana, where the line between stage and street is thin and the clubs that matter tend to be the ones that never had to reinvent themselves. Funk, brass, songwriter sets, late-night residencies and second-line tradition all run together here, and the venues that hold it up feel as rooted as the neighborhoods around them. Here are five essential stops.

🎸 Tipitina's was opened in 1977 by a group of fans trying to give Professor Longhair a home base and the room never lost that purpose. The sound in the space still favors New Orleans funk and brass bands and acts treat it like a rite of passage, a place where Crescent City groove always hits the floor first.

🎤 Preservation Hall is as close as you can get to the center of traditional New Orleans jazz. No microphones, no frills, barely any separation between players and audience, just a room from 1961 where generations of talents keep the city’s musical language alive night after night.

🎶 Maple Leaf Bar has been an Uptown anchor since 1974, the kind of place where the walls seem to hold the humidity and the history. Rebirth Brass Band’s Tuesday residency is famously rowdy and impossibly tight.

💿 Peaches Records is one of Magazine Street’s longest-running music shops with deep New Orleans sections that reflect how seriously locals take their own catalog. New releases, used vinyl, and regular in-stores keep it moving and musicians treat it as a hang as much as a store.

🍺 The Fillmore New Orleans sits inside Harrah’s and gives the city a modern 2,000-cap room built for big touring acts. Rock, pop, hip-hop, R&B, the calendar moves fast and the production is polished in a way that pairs strangely well with the city’s older, sweatier clubs.

🧭 Visit New Orleans is the best place to plan your visit and keep up with what is happening across the city.

The DittyTV Family is saddened by the loss of Raul Malo, the incomparable frontman of genre-defying, GRAMMY Award-winning band The Mavericks.

His free-wheeling, swaggering style seamlessly blended neotraditional country, rock ’n roll,& Latin rhythmic fervor, prominently featuresd in his lush, soaring baritone.

From his earliest days, when his raucous sound broke ground at the punk clubs on Miami Beach, to fronting The Mavericks over three decades of acclaimed touring & recording, Malo demonstrated an unfailing skill for getting people to groove.

Raul Martínez Malo was born on August 7, 1965, in Miami. His parents, separately, had fled Cuba after the revolution that put Fidel Castro in power in 1959.

He started singing early and formed a band at age 12.

In 1989, Malo co-founded The Mavericks with bassist Robert Reynolds and drummer Paul Deakin.

Led by Malo, they played clubs around the Miami area & built up a solid local following, chosing to only play rock clubs because the country bars wanted to book bands that played covers & the Mavericks preferred to concentrate on original material.

They created the kind of multicultural Americana that reaches far beyond America itself, blending their favorite stateside sounds-rock & roll, country, & R&B — with Tex-Mex twang, Cuban rhythms, Jamaican ska, & other Latin influences, serving as a testament to creative collaboration & musical innovation.

The Mavericks sound was driven by songs written by Malo, his expansive guitar style & his broad vocal range, from a soaring, velvety baritone to operatic high notes.

We send our love to Raul’s family, The Mavericks & his friends & fans around the world.

The Music Roadtrip app is rolling into Anchorage, Alaska, where venues double as community hubs and the city’s isolation shapes how live music works. Touring bands treat Anchorage as a standalone destination, not a stop between markets, so shows tend to feel intentional — and locals show up for everything from indie tours to metal nights to arena-size pop runs. Here are five essential stops.

🎸 Bear Tooth Theatrepub & Grill operates out of a historic 1950s theater that was renovated in the late ’90s by the same team behind Moose’s Tooth. Films, concerts, and a full kitchen all share the space, and touring acts, album-release shows, and local festival tie-ins routinely use the main room.

🎤 Williwaw Social anchors downtown with a multi-room layout that handles everything from band showcases to DJ nights to rooftop events when the weather allows.

🎶 Alaska Airlines Center is the city’s primary arena space. It’s hosted major pop, rock, and country tours since opening in 2014, and the building’s production capacity makes it the go-to stop for artists big enough to make the jump to arena level in Alaska.

💿 Obsession Records carries new releases, used vinyl, and a strong selection of Alaska artists across rock, metal, hip-hop, and folk. The shop has become a reliable dig for locals thanks to frequently refreshed bins and a loyal collector base that feeds a steady stream of rarities back into the racks.

🍺 Koots has been part of Anchorage nightlife since 1970, operating as a sprawling, multi-bar maze with stages for rock, metal, comedy, and local showcases. The venue has a decades-long reputation for loud crowds, unpredictable nights, and a calendar that hits every corner of the city’s music scene.

🧭 Visit Anchorage is the best place to plan your trip and keep up with what’s happening across Anchorage.

The Music Roadtrip app is rolling into Nashville, Tennessee, known far and wide as the country music capital of the world. But Music City's thriving live scene goes well beyond country: it’s rock, hip-hop, jazz, gospel, indie, and songwriter culture all running in parallel. Here are five essential stops.

🎸 Ryman Auditorium was built in 1892 as the Union Gospel Tabernacle and turned into the home of the Grand Ole Opry in 1943, a run that reshaped American music. With its iconic stained glass windows and famed acoustics, playing the Ryman is considered a milestone for artists of all genres.

🎤 The Bluebird Cafe opened in 1982 in a Green Hills strip mall and quietly became the center of Nashville’s songwriting world. Its 90-seat capacity enforces a true listening-room environment, and its “in-the-round” format helped launch the careers of writers behind countless No. 1 singles. The room’s reputation grew nationally after repeated appearances on Nashville, but the culture inside hasn’t changed — the focus is still the song.

🎶 The Basement East — known to locals as The Beast — anchors East Nashville’s independent scene. The venue reopened in 2021 after the 2020 tornado ripped through the building, and the “I Believe in Nashville” mural that survived became part of its identity.

💿 Grimey's New & Preloved Music has been a defining part of Nashville’s indie ecosystem for more than 25 years, known for its deep vinyl selection and visits from artists as massive as Metallica and Paramore. The shop moved from 8th Avenue to East Trinity Lane in 2018, expanding its live space and cementing itself as a community hub for musicians, collectors, and touring bands.

🍺 Dee's Lounge in Madison opened in 2016 and quickly became one of Nashville’s most consistent traditional-country rooms. The decor nods to mid-century honky-tonks, but the programming is current — nightly Western swing, country, and roots sets that pull working musicians from across the city. For many players, Dee’s is where you go when you want to hear (or play) the real stuff.

🧭 Visit Music City is the best place to plan your trip and keep up with what’s happening across Nashville.

The Music Roadtrip app is rolling into Fort Collins, Colorado, where Old Town blocks, century-old buildings, and tucked-away listening rooms give the city a music scene that feels both lived-in and always in motion. Here are five essential stops.

🎸 Washington's FoCo lives in a restored early-1900s opera-house shell, though nothing inside feels old or fussy. The wraparound balcony gives the place an unusually open feel, and touring crews talk about how the room can handle both the big Americana bands and the whisper-quiet indie sets without losing detail.

🎤 Aggie Theatre comes from a different era entirely — originally a 1906 vaudeville and movie house — and it still has that tall, narrow footprint you see in early entertainment halls. Acts moving up the Front Range circuit rely on it as the room where crowds are close, loud, and right on top of the stage.

🎶 Armory FoCo flips the script. Housed in a former National Guard building, it feels more like a listening parlor than a club. The Lincoln Center team books it with intention: songwriter rounds, acoustic tours, and folk ensembles that need a room where you can actually hear the space breathe.

💿 Bizarre Bazaar has been on Linden Street since the late ’80s, and it shows — in the best way. The jazz and classic-rock sections run deep, turnover is constant, and the used bins are the kind you dig through standing up, realizing you just lost 45 minutes without noticing.

🍺 Magic Rat Live Music is tucked inside The Elizabeth Hotel, but it doesn’t play like hotel background noise. Nightly sets pull in Americana players, jazz groups, and touring songwriters, and the Springsteen-inspired name hints at the vibe: a room meant for people who actually listen.

🧭 Visit Fort Collins Colorado is the best place to plan your visit and keep up with what’s happening in Fort Collins.
