Bonus Track: Mickey Hart (The Grateful Dead)

Send us Fan MailMickey Hart is currently out with Dead & Company as they play what is being termed as their final run of tour dates under that banner. Fans have a unique opportunity to check out Mickey's art while he's on the road. He'll be making two special appearances (see details below) for exhibits that are being presented by the Wentworth Gallery.Mickey joins Matt for the latest edition of the Bonus Track to discuss his art, the meaning of "vibrational expressionism" and he also digs into the process of how he creates his works.We discuss numerous other topics, including what Mickey is doing with "Drums" and "Space" on this current run -- and some selected Grateful Dead memories, including a funny story about the "Touch of Grey" video. It was a lot of fun to speak with Mickey about his long career -- and why he still loves what he is doing so much!Here are the exhibition details for Mickey's appearances on June 4 and June 23. ARTIST’S STATEMENT“These visual representations from my sonic-driven world are snapshots into the music I am making. The basis of all life is vibratory, from the cosmos to human organism to the rhythms of nature and the music that come from what we make, from what we call culture. These are the worlds of rhythm that envelop us on a daily basis. Understanding these rhythms is essential in our daily lives. These works have been drummed, vibrated into existence. This technique is essential in the creation of my art.” – Mickey Hart IN GALLERY APPEARANCES BY MICKEY HART(artist will be in attendance at both showings - contact the Gallery for information on attending) SUNDAY, JUNE 4  @ 2:00 PMWentworth Gallery at Tysons GalleriaAddress: 1807 Galleria at Tysons II, McLean, VA 22102(703) 883-0111 FRIDAY, JUNE 23 @ 6:30 PMWentworth Gallery at Mall at Short HillsAddress:  1200 Morris Tpke, Short Hills, NJ 07078(973) 564-9776Support the show
