Named for LSD pioneer Ken Kesey's bus, this group boasts one of the most eclectic lineups to support bassist Lesh and guitarist Weir. The driving force of this ensemble will definitely be drumming duo Jay Lane (of Weir's Ratdog, as well as Primus) and Joe Russo (of Benevento/Russo Duo, Bustle in Your Hedgerow, and American Babies). Then there's longtime collaborator Jeff Chimenti, who has played in Ratdog and with the Dead, and will again man the keyboards.
Providing his own version of the late Jerry Garcia's vocals and guitar work is John Kadlecik, a professional Garcia imitator who has put in years helming his own Grateful Dead cover band, Dark Star Orchestra. Expect a good mix of Dead classics and rarities, along with some fitting covers and maybe a new tune or two. Join the merry pranksters and enjoy some psychedelic rock, but beware of the electric Kool-Aid. All aboard!
