- Carlos Santana and his wife, Deborah, will open Maria Maria, a chain of Mexican restaurants kicking off with three Northern California locations. The March 26 release of the short-lived Carlos Santana/Wayne Shorter Band's Live at the 1988 Montreux Jazz Festival should provide more immediate nourishment.
- Roger Waters will tour the United States for a couple of months beginning May 18 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Oh, and he'll perform The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety at each show.
- The excellent youngish bluegrass band Nickel Creek declares its upcoming tour (beginning April 12 in Savannah, Georgia) will be possibly its last, as the group disperses without acrimony to work on various solo projects. Check The Reunion Watch in 2010 or so for update.
- Festivals are becoming an increasingly robust way of both consuming and marketing music. Plan on taking the last couple of weeks of June off for Manchester, Tennessee's June 14-17 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival (featuring the Police, Bob Weir, Gillian Welch, Ralph Stanley, etc.,) and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival (Alison Krauss, Sam Bush, Emmylou Harris, Bela Fleck, etc.), June 21-24 in Colorado.
