The Mickey Hart Band has announced new May tour dates for the second leg of their Worlds Within tour.  The band will once again bring along Babatunde Olatunji protege's, the African Showboyz, as main support for the tour.The band has also released three free live tracks from their 3/6/13 Solana Beach, CA show including the brand new song, "The Sermon" featuring  lyrics by Robert Hunter.

Seemingly a departure from Anela’s first album of Hawaiian music, "Mele from the Harp", this album acts as a vehicle for continuing to spread the Grateful Dead's mission of peace and love throughout the world. This album will be part of the Rex Foundation’s musical caravan, supporting the arts worldwide. For those who are not familiar with the Dead’s music, this is a "safe" introduction to it.
