There are not many physical publications still standing in the music magazine world but thankfully Relix is still there. Originally dealing mostly with all things related to the Grateful Dead, it's branched out into the Jambands scene then into the Bluegrass, Newgrass, Americana, Singer/Songwriter and other genres.

Well worth searching out in the magazine racks of book stores.
It's published bi-monthly with a few exceptions through the year where it comes out monthly. It's also available in a online digital format.
