Sitting in with The Dead at ROTHBURY!
What up y'all...We are having an epic time at ROTHBURY. Kicked the
weekend off with our Thursday set at the Ranch Arena stage as
everyone poured through the gates. We followed that up with a podcast
acoustic recording in the Relix tent. Friday started early as we
participated in the first of many Rothbury thinktanks creating a
dialogue about the New Green Economy. The Krewe played two songs, and
I sat on the panel and gave a presentation focusing on the ethic of
sustainability. Immediately following we hosted a West-African
drumming workshop...it was definitely a highlight of the weekend. We
had the stage full of drummers and the crowd was dancing and
participating in the rhythms. Justin was playing feedback soaked
guitar and Dave was on bass...it was some West African wedding style
street music. Jason Hahn from String Cheese joined us on djembe and we
had a blast! To top it all off Teal, Justin, and myself, along with
Jason Hahn, joined the Dead for the Drums section of their set last
night!! Wow...playing with the Dead on the 4th of July...Epic. More
to come... Q
