I am really enjoying these Dead & Company shows! Nugs.net hired Gary Lambert and me to provide some entertainment in lieu of the “please stay tuned” card that they’ve been showing between sets. Dead Air with Lambert and Gans has been great fun, and you can watch the ones we’ve already done on YouTube. We have interviewed Don Was, Branford Marsalis, Aron Magner, Mikaela Davis, Joe Russo, Jesse Jarnow, and many more.

Dead & Company concert recordings are available in various audio and video formats from livedead.co. Tickets are available for some of the upcoming shows at deadandcompany.com
