Wake The Dead

[ehiker]

Last year I came across a cd from a great little band located in the Bay Area, called Wake the Dead.

Basically, they are a Celtic Jam Band that blends music of such greats like The Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan (mostly Dead stuff, though) with traditional Celtic reels and jigs and such.

They only have three albums out, but there are ways of getting copies of some live shows, as well (I might be able to track them down if one were to PM me...).

They were the first on my new MP3 player and they always have a presence in my truck. They keep me in a good mood on my way to work and they put me back in a good mood on the way home.

Definitely worth checking out if you love Celtic music and Jerry Garcia's musical talents.

(Now if I could just get them to tour in the Midwest...)

On a non-Celtic side note (of an already off-topic subject), if you enjoy Grateful Dead and JAZZ, then you should try looking for some slightly older CDs by a group called Jazz is Dead. I've seen them on Overstock.com before at really reasonable prices. Same concept, but with Jazz music.
