WAKE THE DEAD - in Concert

As an expression of cultural joy, you can't top an Irish wake. And what is a wake but a celebration--an expression of love-- and a damn good party?

WAKE THE DEAD is a romp that flows seamlessly from rock grooves
to hot Irish reels, and from haunting airs to achingly beautiful melodies familiar to Deadheads everywhere. "Sugaree" in waltz time, bracketed by an ancient harp tune and infused with a poignant Celtic longing. "Bertha" thundering out of "China Cat" on a mandolin tidal wave. Groove jams to keep the tie-dye swirling. Vocal harmonies that float like clouds.

The music take off, and the band follows, grinning all the way. These aren't worlds colliding--they're worlds meshing, coalescing--creating a whole new world of possibility, and the spirits of the Grateful Dead and the eternally hopeful Celts.
