ABOUT:
Dead Roses:
Todd Bugbee’s Dead Roses: SF Bay’s badass Grateful Dead tribute: Sometimes funky, a little trippy, always full of energy and extremely danceable. Nate Beltz, Preston Barnes, Stephanie Mandela, James Miller, Tim Baker and Todd Bugbee.
Grassomoxoa:
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. Isaac Cantor (banjo) and Scotty Brown (bass) are old friends who embody the sort of freewheeling spirit that Jerry himself held dear. These longtime collaborators are the anchors of this project. On this occasion, we are very excited to know that they will be returning to the original lineup with Riley Hill (guitar) and Bud Dillard (mandolin). These two up the ante in a big way with their ferocious picking prowess. The well-established chemistry of this quartet is something that cannot be equaled.
Prepare for a deep immersion into the roots of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia songbooks. You can count on a magical combination of both traditional string music and progressive jam explorations. Dancefloor magic activate!
