Two GD Hour sponsors in January

As we greet the new year, the Grateful Dead Hour is thankful for two new sponsors!

Northbound Coffee Roasters

We’ve been enjoying both their medium roasts and their espresso blends! They ship everywhere, of course, and here in my ‘hood their coffee is available at the Piedmont Grocery and Market Hall Foods.

The Brothers Jam

From the web site: “The Brothers Jam is a Portland based jam band mashup of rootsy rock and deep rhythmic grooves, taking their audience on a sonic journey every time they hit the stage. Drawing from a vast palette that spans the Grateful Dead, Talking Heads, Phish, Van Morrison, Miles Davis, Johnny Cash, Allman Brothers, Joe Henry, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Al Green… The Brothers Jam is a band with a plan: to entertain audiences and wring beauty from any song that crosses their path, always with fun and positive vibes.”
