    The Rhythm Devils began as the duo of Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann and his percussionist partner Mickey Hart. Over the years, they transcended rock and roll drum stereotypes with polyrhythmic explorations of the world of percussion, using an extraordinary variety of instruments and approaches. The aftermath of this collaboration was the larger Rhythm Devils, which have made periodic reappearances over the years. The 2010 version includes Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, Keller Williams (guitar, vocals), Davy Knowles (guitar, vocals), Sikiru Adepoju (talking drum), and Andy Hess (bass). Together, they will take music beyond the horizon to a universe where rhythm is in constant flux and sound has infinite potential.

Mickey and Billy, please come do some dates for the Midwest contingent, please. What you do is invaluable for so many of us who strive to keep the Rhythm as part of our lives. For those who heed the call of the Drum, come visit and bring the Magic... Peace, Steve

Why aren't your tickets offered through GDTSTOO? They handle Bob and Phil shows, Furthur shows and in the past The Dead. They are part of the family right? Thank you, and Stay In Touch!

I was blown away. I just wish I would have planned better and took off from Steamboat to Idaho and then Salt Lake at the very least. They are worth travelling for is what I'm getting at!! I'm very grateful for being able to see them twice and am hoping for more shows in the future. The Vibes will be out of hand!! Have fun everyone!

So, so stoked for Friday at Bear's Den Niagara. I hear it's like 500 seats? Yeowwzaaa! Gonna chase it with Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble in Woodstock the next night, Sept 11, with Sam Bush... Good time for this Canadian head to be in a NY state of mind. It seems there are few rabid devils fans on this site, but like I posted in Tix Offered, got an extra for Friday if anyone's interested. I'll be trying to sell at cost the night of the show unless I hear from you sooner. Catch all you heads down on Rainbow Blvd!

Last show on the current tour. We all sang Happy Birthday to Mickey. He's looking good at 67! The drumz and percussion is really well laid out but there was definitely a lack without Keller Williams, unfortunately. Highlights for me for me were So Many Roads, Hey Bo Diddley, Fire>Scarlet and Goin' Down the Road plus a couple of other tunes I don't know the names of. Mickey brought out a couple of locals midway through the set to help out. That brought a fatter kind of sound. We danced half the night in front of the Wharf Rats table (Another Dopeless Hope Fiend! & Save Your Face & Let Go, Let Jerry bumper stickers).

Many great things about this show:The venue at Bear's Den, Seneca Niagara Casino was teeny-tiny! 400 people, many not in their seats but standing/dancing in the back. Great sight lines everywhere, you could move around and check out the view from wherever, and so we danced for awhile sidestage, about 10ft away from our beloved drummers. Breathing the same air is pretty sweet! Really good sound. Not blasting us away, just perfect listening volume and the warm stage sound you get from being so close in a small room. The guitarists were excellent... Davy Knowles and Tim Bluhm pulled off fantastic versions of many unexpected and favourite songs, like Brown Eyed Women, US Blues, Jack-A-Roe... and ripped some great solos as well as solid rhythm playing. I guess the latter is a prerequisite for being in the band! Mickey and Billy are such a treat to hear play together, and to see them up close is priceless. Watching how they interact is unlike any solo drummer or drummer combo. Mickey doesn't even have a kick drum! They trade off high-hat parts instead of playing all over each other. It was seamless and amazing. I did wonder about a few things, however... We were definitely expecting something more along the lines of Mickey's past Planet Drum projects or the Rhythm Devils of old. Experimental drum pieces featuring master drummers, samples and maybe a lyric thrown in to please the crowd. The show was mostly songs... GD songs and new ones, but songs. It was as if the boys were happy to take a backseat to the guitar players and promote these fresh faces while playing what the crowd wanted to hear. But we wanted to hear Drumz... lots and lots of DRUMZZZ... Even if they were choosing songs over rhythms, I was curious as to why all the country and folk songs? Those demand straight-ahead playing from the drummers and I would have thought that in their own band these guys would be tackling some more interesting stuff. Maybe they actually like playing that stuff, who knew? Sikiru Adepoju is a master talking drum player. It was certainly strange to hear him playing along with country and folk songs and sad that he never got featured and was buried in the mix. Only drum solo/feature we heard all night was when the 3 drummers went off on Not Fade Away. My request for next time... more drum solos/ experimental rhythm sections to feature these exceptional players. Thanks for the show and glad all is well. We love you, Billy & Mickey!!!!!!!! Kirsten

My wife & I & an old friend saw the Rhythm Devils at the July 27 - Orpheum Theater - Flagstaff, AZ show & it was very special & quite refreshing, in that, this NEW band had quite a lot to say from a musical perspective that we have not heard in some time. We have seen Rat Dog over the years which was fun as well as Phil & Friends-especially with multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell, who is on a level of his own but this new Rhythm Devils band will be a force to reckon with. They were very good & a real nice break for our buddy who was still grieving the loss of his woman in life but we could tell they were just just on the edge of discovering the power & musical mojo this line up has.Don't miss their shows as you will be well rewarded when you see this group!!

Back when the server was updated this page was another of the ones where the posts don't match the topic. So its impossible to tell who has this unless someone can locate the posts in another thread. Or we can start a new list here if anyone else is interested in a reseed besides iGrateful. If not, I'll send him his own copy. I owe him the PERRO package anyways

Good to see this vine coming alive again. Though this tour is the step-sister of the prettier Spring and Fall tours, and there are indeed some less than stellar shows here (see 7/22 and some of the sets in other shows), there is at least 1 GREAT show (7/18) and some VG ones too (the Portland and Berkeley runs).
