Chris Forsyth

Greetings, Dead Freaks! This week we go deep with guitar player, Chris Forsyth. We talk about his career up to now, his studies with Television's Richard Lloyd, and Chris' new album on No Quarter Records, All Time Present (available from noquarter.net and bandcamp.)  Along the way, we dip into the album for a couple of clips and then spin a full cut after the chat before we get into some Garcia and Grateful Dead jams.

The album came out in mid-April, and there are shows on the horizon– including some with previous BdPod guests, Garcia Peoples. Be sure to keep an eye on Chris' website, https://thechrisforsyth.com/, for details.

If you dig the album, he's got more. I recommend any of the "Solar Motel Band" records. You can also find some terrific live recordings from our friends over at NYCTaper.com. Scroll down after the jump for a great clip of Chris Forsyth and drummer, Ryan Jewell joining Garcia Peoples for a ripping cover of The Other One.

Bonus Ep1 - Brokedown Goes Beyond

Hey there, Dead Freaks!

No real episode this week but you can hear me join Brian and David on Beyond The Pond for their 60th episode. This go-round they set Phish aside to discuss The Grateful Dead. We take a look at the Dark Star from Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, MO on 1973-10-30. This Dark Star is deep and groovy and, in true Beyond The Pond fashion, we use it as a springboard to explore other artists and their music. Be sure to head over to their website or point your podcast app to their show and consider subscribing. They cover a tons of great music with every episode.

After that, return here, to Brokedown Pod, where I’ve got a treat for you. We’re spinning the entire Dark Star from 1973-10-30 along with a sublime Stella Blue and a terrific version of Eyes of The World and more. Scroll down for the player and keep scrolling for the full track listing below.
