RUSHING OVER MY BONES
We’ll hear the entire unreleased concert recording of 10/21/83 over the next several weeks.
North Carolina singer-songwriter Galen Kipar has nothing to do with the Grateful Dead, but I’m really excited to turn you on to this music. The Scenic Route has been my favorite CD since it arrived in my mailbox a couple of months ago. My friend Erin Scholze works with Galen, and she gave me his CD Why It’s Needed when I visited Asheville last October. (Erin also brightened my days with The Mad Tea Party‘s Found a Reason – check it out!) That disc remained in the CD player of my rent-a-car for the rest of that tour, and I went online to pre-order the new CD right away. I hope you love it as much as I do!
The Grateful Dead Hour is made possible in part this week by the Hoxeyville Music Festival August 20-22 in Wellston, Michigan. Rhythm Devils featuring Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead; Keller Williams; Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe; The New Deal; Steve Kimock Crazy Engine; Todd Snider; Greensky Bluegrass; Moonalice; Cornmeal; and dozens more.
