You may know David Gans from his highly popular and influential radio shows (on KPFA & Sirius XM radio) or you may have caught one of his immensely enjoyable Bay Area shows. Known far and wide as the light behind the widely syndicated Grateful Dead Hour radio program, several books on the Dead and a number of intriguing CDs relating to the band and its music, David has in recent years developed a solid following nationwide for his compelling songs and music.
David and an amazing line up of like-minded Bay Area musicians will perform a set of improvised music that might occasionally drift into an actual song. The line-up will feature: David Gans – guitar, Phil Savell – guitar, Zach Partain – bass and Neil Hampton – percussion. David says: “We will begin with a moment of silence. Someone will start something, the rest of us will respond, and we’ll chase each other around the cosmos until we come to rest some time later. Then we’ll do it again!”
Besides playing in all sorts of bands through the years—from the fondly remembered Reptiles to the Honky Tonk Hippies, to his recent forays jamming on Beatles songs with Chris and Lorin Rowan (and friends) in a group called Rubber Souldiers—David has also sat in with an amazing range of fine musicians, such as Phil Lesh, Donna the Buffalo, Henry Kaiser, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Ollabelle, the late great Vassar Clements, Jim Lauderdale, The String Cheese Incident, Peter Rowan, and more., to name just a few. He has also written songs with a host of others, including Jim Page, Lorin Rowan, and Robert Hunter.
Dancing is permitted, even encouraged!
