    Great album! I got to see him and David Gans when they were in town, and picked up a bunch of CDs. They're on the road a bit, go see 'em if you can.

    Donna the Buffalo a solid Americana band. Tara Nevis plays numerous instruments allowing them to do different sounding stuff. Originally called Dawn of the Buffalo, the story goes their name was misstated from the stage way back, when they were all high on acid and so became Donna the Buffalo. Catch them this summer outside, they play numerous outside festivals usually a few upstate New York.http://donnathebuffalo.com/ The RI festival over Labor Day Weekend is a great one. Small enough to still be fun. Great if you have kids to bring since low key.camping is cool and many motels near by if camping isn't your thing. Camp closer away from the backwoods if all night music might bother you as numerous campers bring instruments to jam. With a dance tent on one end and stage at the other and usually an eclectic assortment of bands. http://rhythmandroots.com/ Ocean nearby and pond to swim in.

    Donna the Buffalo......great Americana, folk, rock, country & zydeco. Dangermuffin. Regional SE band with great tunes. They sound like the step-grandkids of the Grateful Dead.

    Do you guys remember Klaatu? and their album 3:47 EST? I forgot all about the fiasco until this made the rounds on Facebook - https://ledgernote.com/blog/interesting/klaatu-the-secret-band-as-good-… It's a pretty good roundup of how it all went down. It was the mid-70's and Klaatu released their first album without any mention of who the band members were. It was pretty good, and somehow the rumor started spreading that it was The Beatles under a new name. The record company started encouraging the rumors and it was a huge ordeal. They made a ton of money on that record. The thing was, they didn't sound anything like The Beatles. They were certainly good, as good as any other prog rock band is good. But the allegations were silly. All of that is besides the point though. The 3:47 EST album is really good. They had some singles after that but I haven't really dug into their discography beyond this album.

Thanks for the tip. In case you missed it, there's a short documentary out on Vimeo where Stephen talks to GD historian Blair Jackson while recording for the slack project out in CA: https://vimeo.com/223074777

It's really cool seeing two GD nerds discuss the project's background. David Gans also makes an appearance.

They are obviously solid, very tight musicians. However, I found their recorded music to be almost muzac for Deadheads...excellent background music played by exceptional musicians. Luckily, I had opportunity to catch a live show, and for $20, I gave it a shot. All I can say is "Wow"...extreme energy live...very tight, almost disciplined live, but also highly creative and improvisational. They played about 2 1/2 hours non-stop with VERY impressive jams. I highly recommend their live shows.

Hi all, I am latin percussionist and Lifelong Deadhead. I am planning to launch an equity crowdfund for a Latin Jazz Grateful Dead Tribute project called "The Latin Dead" but first reaching out to the Dead community in case there was some interested investors looking to take the ride and help us thrive! I have a detailed business plan I can provide for any serious inquiries. Please feel free to message me directly here or via email at... latindeadmusic@gmail.com

Thanks, Brenden

Dave McMurray, saxophonist late of Was Not Was, has a new album of Dead covers, Grateful Deadication, which sorta came into being when he saw Weir do Days Between at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass a few years back. It's very good.

Any fans digging Billy's awesome live gigs. He's covered lots of Dead tunes "Wharf Rat" , "To lay Me Down", "Me & My Uncle", All done really well. Of course he's played in Billy and the Kids.

I may be spoiled, but Indianapolis has an amazing band called Starcat that performs music by the Jerry Garcia Band with a lineup that resembles Jerry's classic 90's outfit.
