LOVIN' DEAD

What does Lovin’ Dead have that other Dead tribute bands don’t?  For starters, they have Bobby incarnate with Zach Jones on rhythm guitar  and vocals. It’s downright uncanny how much he captures the sound and
the vibe of a young Bobby. There are very few people on the planet who can do that.

This Bay area band is locked and loaded with a lifelong passion for theDead which pours out in their incredible musicianship.

Then there’s Jay Wilcox!  This guy has that X-factor; channeling the spirit of Jerry while putting his own stamp on the sound. Jay is joined by life-long partner in crimeJeff Quigley, forming the perfect counterpoint on keys, bringing forththe essence of all the eras of the Dead into a seamless symphony.

These two were seeing the boys together in the late 80s so there’s anextra authenticity in their connection when summoning magic from the ethers. 

When Phil was on, the band was on. Michael Land understands his role indriving the groove on bass and keeping the dance floor aflame.   He’sgot that unmistakable Phil  tone, bounce and jazzy freelancing flair;The ideal balance between complexity and simplicity.

Over the years Lovin' Dead has been blessed to play with a cast ofincredible drummers, searching for that Mickey and Billy double drummermagic.

Together Lovin’ Dead brings the big late 80’s sound to life. This issure to be an evening you don’t want to miss!

GRASSMOXOA:

The fine art of bluegrass and the music of the Grateful Dead have been linked before the Dead even existed. Any fan knows that bluegrass was the foundation of Jerry Garcia’s lifelong commitment to his craft. He would later revisit it in 1973 with the short-lived, yet very influential project, Old and in the Way. It finally came back around in the early 90’s when Garcia-Grisman was formed. Even when bluegrass wasn’t at the forefront for Jerry, it was always a factor just beneath the surface.

Grassomoxoa (a clever nod to the 1969 GD album, Aoxomoxoa) is comprised of four men who are extremely passionate about bluegrass and the Grateful Dead. The idea of merging these two entities is nothing new. However, the way in which they approach it instills the songs with a fresh and vibrant energy. Riley Hill (guitar), Bud Dillard (mandolin), Isaac Cantor (banjo) and Scotty Brown (bass) are old friends who embody the sort of freewheeling spirit that Jerry himself held dear.

You’ve seen them in their other bands, including Grateful Bluegrass Boys, Dusty Green Bones, One Grass Two Grass and Electric Tumbleweed. Here we’ll see them delve deeper than ever before into the far corners of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia songbook. You can count on a magical combination of both traditional string music and progressive jam explorations. It will be just like a late-night picking session around the fire.
