Fri. June 12 at 8 pm - Eric Thompson's Dead Roots Revival at Ashkenaz
Eric's new project, Dead Roots Revival, makes its debut!  Eric's put together a dream team anchored by his Kleptograss guys - Paul Kotapish (Wake the Dead), Corbin Pagter (Country Ham), and Mark Schatz (Bela Fleck) plus the amazing percussionist Keith Terry (Crosspulse) and keyboardist extraordinaire Sam Reider (Sierra Hull) and Suzy as a special guest. Together they are creating a fresh approach to the music of Eric's teenage years, when he was a spitting distance witness to the birth of the Warlocks, soon to become the Grateful Dead. Eric had been playing in several bluegrass bands with Jerry Garcia (Black Mountain Boys, Asphalt Jungle Mountain Boys, etc) as well as in Mother Macree’s Uptown Jug Champions with Pigpen and Garcia. Living across the hall from Phil Lesh when the Warlocks began, he himself had no interest in “going electric” and continued to play acoustic guitar, releasing a landmark bluegrass guitar album on Kicking Mule and, later, award-winning Cajun albums with the California Cajun Orchestra.
The repertoire spans old-style R&B a la Freddie King, original songs, and trad Irish, bluegrass, jibaro, and we might even play an actual Grateful Dead song!!
