Dreaming of The Cap

 Greetings, Dead Freaks!

This time around I am joined by my friend, Lorien, to talk about the great run from 50 years ago this week at The Cap in Portchester, NY. Lorien is a student of the Grateful Dead and also did the research on one unique aspect of these shows; the E.S.P. experiments. We get into all of that and spin some great tunes for  you so sit back, relax your mind, and enjoy!

Don't sleep on the Drew Gardner album that I mentioned in the intro. You can find "S/T" on tape and digital download via Eiderdown Records on Bandcamp. https://eiderdownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/s-t

Brad Farberman of Middle Blue

 

Greetings, Dead Freaks!

For this new episode,  I chat with guitarist, Brad Farberman. Brad plays with Middle Blue, Big Feet, and more. He's also producing a monthly compilation called "Stay In Shape" to benefit music venues that have been shut down due to coronavirus. Brad's music resides somewhere near the intersection of jazz, funk, and jam and, to compliment this, I've selected some live Jerry Garcia performances from similar zones.

The "Stay In Shape" compilation comes out on Feb 5, and you'll be able to get it from bradfarberman.bandcamp.com. It features more that 20 artists from all over the country and, for February, benefits Greenpoint/Brooklyn's Troost. 


Middle Blue released a great live album this past year called "Weird Funk In Small Bars". You can find it at middleblue.bandcamp.com. Brad's group Big Feet, which is a collaboration with 75 Dollar Bill's Rick Brown, released a new album last year as well. Both "On The Ground" and their live album can be found at bigfeetnyc.bandcamp.com. Lastly, Brad's collaboration with Daniel Carter and Billy Martin, "Just Don't Die", can be picked up at danielcarterbradfarbermanbillymartin.bandcamp.com.
