I am tired of fitting into other bands. So i am trying to form my own. More than just grateful dead. i want to add classic and not so classic tunes to the repertoire.
If you are in the areas of westchester and ct
or dont care about a drive.
i am looking for bandmates. guitars and drums are main priority. Will be holding jams to get the right fit after new years
for now i have a harp player, keyboards on demand
a couple of replies from craiglist for guitars.
i dont want clones. they write it. we can interpret it if we want. send email if interested
Thanks

You should try to get your drummer's singer along. She looks about right for a donna jean looky likey ;-)

Flax:

Is the guitarist playing a modified Ibanez Musician, MC500 by any chance?

And remember what Dylan said: "Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters"

Nice little video! The guitar player does have a Jerry style.

Bill; the solo at 1:09, what is that effect? I'm thinking it's a delay or an echo.

The drummer has a Phish connection; cool!

Dave:

Delay/echo sounds about right to me.

I just noticed the band name too. I love it. I assume it's inspired by the poster art on the Closing of Winterland DVD? That art was always one of my fave concert posters.

It's also from the tune "So Many Roads" by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter.

From the land of the midnight sun
where ice blue roses grow
'long those roads of gold and silver snow
Howlin' wide or moanin low
So many roads I know
So many roads to ease my soul

moder dave wins
its one of my favorite verses and a tune i do,
i have no idea what hes playing...
am setting up first rehearsal next week
asked the band to give me 10 tunes each
dead/jgb they know best- rock they know best
dead and rock they dont know and want to play
i figure i cover 2 diff sets- this way we can play dead gigs and or rock gigs
drummer say no chicks- period,.,, drummer win...
