In our on-going celebration of the life and music of Jerry Garcia, Dark Star Orchestra again highlights our Thursday night festivities with their unique revival of the magic of the Grateful Dead.  Using entire shows from the Grateful Dead's 30 years of extensive touring as a launching pad, Dark Star Orchestra recreates the original shows in much the same way that an orchestra interprets music of classical composers, by channeling the excitement and innovation of the original performances and compositions. Touring nationwide for nine years to the tune of 1300 shows since forming, the band's determined commitment to "raising the Dead" makes them a welcome addition to the Vibes.
