NorCal Favorites LOVIN' DEAD are back for another round at Toot's Tavern in charming Crockett on the Carquinez on Fri March 10th. Havin' fun and playing live Dead is what Lovin' Dead does best, striving to provide a unique yet familiar musical experience. The fellas are students of the songs, exploring interactive psychedelic jams, smokin' guitar work, soulful three-part vocal harmonies & always Searching for the Sound.

Here is a show worth planning a romantic road trip for! A rare appearance of LIKE A ROSE, performing the music of the Jerry Garcia Band with Heart & Soul! This exciting new supergroup features familiar faces from Melvin Seals & JGB, The Dead 70's, and Lovin' Dead. Like A Rose brings that Gospel sound with three part harmonies to lift your spirits and open your heart. With opening set by red-hot band WOLF JETT that will make you dance, sing and howl.

In just ten days, it’s another Bluegrass & Deadheads mixer with acclaimed young NorCal rising stars CRYING UNCLE BLUEGRASS BAND and an exciting new JGB Tribute, THE ALAMO MISSION BAND at Toot’s Tavern. Crying Uncle is one of the most exciting young bands in acoustic music, plays a unique mix of Bluegrass, Dawg, Jazz and original modern acoustic music. Brothers Miles and Teo Quale are joined by award-winning bassist Jason Howard.

This Friday night at the Ivy, worlds collide when DUSTY GREEN BONES BAND celebrate 9 years together with a barn-burner Jamgrass show in the tradition of Billy Strings and Greensky Bluegrass. This great band features the best banjo-ist around IMO; Isaac Cantor. Opening the show will be a new acoustic take on the Grateful Dead Songbook, TRiPLE featuring members of Lovin’ Dead on the guitar, standup bass, and… an Accordion. FUN!

High Moon Records is proud to announce the first-ever comprehensive anthology from singer-songwriter Laurie Styvers. Gemini Girl: The Complete Hush Recordings arrives on 2XCD and digital download on Friday, February 17.

In a land abundant with Grateful Dead tribute bands, Dark Star Orchestra (DSO) on February 2 in Sacramento, California, strengthened its unofficial claim as the quintessential torch bearers. Flanked by a devoted and euphoric nearly sold-out audience at the 975-capacity Crest Theatre, the band on this night didn’t replicate an actual Grateful Dead show as they are inclined to do.
