David Gans, You Are Here
SHUT UP AND LISTEN
Bobby and the Midnites
FESTIVAL

You Are Here is my new CD of original songs, released without fanfare so as not to compete with It’s a Hand-Me-Down, also released in November. Robert Hunter wrote the lyrics of “Shut Up and Listen”! Mark Karan joins me on electric guitar for this track and two others. Here’s “Shut Up and Listen” on iTunes.

Bobby and the Midnites, released in 1981, was the first album by this Bob Weir side project. I always liked “Festival,” which is credited to Weir alone.

Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. On Thursday, February 11, The Wailers will uplift spirits and satisfy souls with roots-rock reggae classics. The next night, Friday, February 12, Big Head Todd and The Monsters return to The Cap with Mike Doughty to play guitar-driven, groove-infused blues-rock. If it rocks, they’ll play it. Events, information, and ticketing at thecapitoltheatre.com.
