GRATEFUL DEAD TRIBUTE BAND SHAKEDOWN CITI'S DAVID MENDELSOHN

from TOP TALENT with Richie Phillips · host Richie Phillips

Wow-how can you possibly pay the ultimate tribute to such an iconic band -well, INSTITUTION -as the Grateful Dead?  You can see them Sat Mar28th at Lark Hall, Albany at 7:30pm.  But listen to this podcast and findi out about this incredible group of NY based musicians led by an amazingly multitalented singer, guitarist and arranger-David Mendelsohn (yes—the same Mendelsohn who I interviewed with the Yacht Lobsters, an equally amazing Yacht Rock band! ).  These guys are dedicated, top notch singers and instrumentalists!   So join us as we take a deep dive into the immense catalogue that the Dead racked up in their several decade run, and we discuss the nuts and bolts of putting together the ultimate tribute to the ultimate jam band. Whether you are a Deadhead or a casual appreciator, you’ll really enjoy the knowledge that David has about Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir (who recently passed) and the rest.  (but will he reveal part of his set list at Lark Hall, Albany on Sat.Mar 28th? ....hint-YES!)  More at shakedownciti.com #gratefuldeadtribute,#shakedownciti,#toptalentrichie,#bobweir,#jerrygarcia,#phillesh
