WHAT'S NEW... Summer is humming along, and we are excited to keep making music, with more great shows on the horizon. Next up, we are pleased to be coming back to Garcia's Chicago on Aug 13. What a fantastic club on all levels. Ambience, sound, food, good people running the show. You name it, they've got it. If you haven't been yet, don't wait. Come check us out.
 
Next, we continue our summer residency on Dead Wednesday's at 28 Mile Distillery in Highwood. Catch us on the third Wednesday each month through August. Ticket links in the calendar below... 


Join us as we mine the vast catalog of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia Band, Bob Dylan, The Band, and more and go "searching for the sound" in the Chicago area's finest listening rooms. Bring your dancing shoes and, as always, tie-dye and twirling are optional. 💃🕺 ☮️
