About Me

I've been putting together some nice family festivals and shows for the last 11 years. In a nutshell, I started with a TV show in Madison Wisconsin called the Tim Sundog Show. We hosted local bands every Saturday night "Live" on WYOU Cable Channel 4. It became a hit with the college students at the University of Wisconsin. Then, I started with getting regional bands, and then national artist such as Merl Saunders, Vince Welnick, David Gans, Justin Kreuztmann, ect. You get the picture! So, then I decided to try organizing festivals, starting with Zappening 2000 www.Zappening.freeservers.com and it worked! I found my calling in life!!! I felt good about Zappening 2000, but I consider myself a Deadhead and set my sights for a Deadhead gathering, hence the Sundog Summer Shakedown was born in 2001. Continued it up until 2002 and I retired the name, and took a break in 2003 to gather my thoughts.
Failure is success turned inside out. I feel that failing on something just means you didn't tap into it right, so continued until I got it somewhat right!
In 2003, the Grateful Garcia Gathering came to life! The first 3G's was in Black River Falls and was home there up since then (with exception of 2008 Ohio). Its been a long strange trip, and we're still on the bus!
