It's a Grateful Brass & Grass Party! Get a jump on celebrating the New Year this year with a very special edition of Grateful Friday... Mr. Hat Presents a New Year's Eve Eve Celebration at The Ivy Room with very special guests Grateful Brass. Support from Grateful Grass Duo, featuring Isaac Cantor & Riley Hill.
Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Wait, actually keep them open and keep reading, but imagine in your minds eye an alternate reality in which Jerry, Bobby and Phil came up as horn players instead of guitarists...
Grateful Brass reimagines the iconic music of the Grateful Dead with an instrumentation of brass, drums and vocals (no guitar!). The music digs deep into the Grateful Dead discography with creative re-imaginations infused with the ebullient spirit of New Orleans Second Line, trance-like grooves of Afrobeat, brass-driven energy of Balkan music, and energetic Afro-Cuban polyrhythms, all sitting on top of a heavy foundation of funk.
Grateful Brass is led by Adam Theis who is a current member of The Wolf Pack with Bob Weir & Wolf Bros and whose arrangements are featured in their live shows, as well as two Bob Weir albums released in 2022 ("Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros: Live in Colorado" and "Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros: Live in Colorado Vol. 2").
Some of the finest musicians on the West Coast have joined Theis in creating this newest offshoot of the Bay Area music collective Jazz Mafia; many who have long collaborated with other artists in the Grateful Dead community like Mickey Hart, Joe Russo's Ain't Dead Yet, Peter Rowan, Reed Mathis, Jackie Greene, and Cold Blood.
Grateful Brass embraces the challenge of carrying on a 50+ year tradition of imagination, creativity, and groovy improvisatory adventures. This loving homage will make you fall in love with Grateful Dead's music all over again, or for the first time.
Grateful Grass Duo is a new project pickin' on the Dead featuring phenomenal banjo player Issac Cantor, best known for his work with The Grateful Bluegrass Boys & Dusty Green Bones Band. Isaac is joined on guitar and vocals by Riley Hill of One Grass Two Grass.
