OUTPOST: Panic Stricken
– ALL AGES- STANDING ROOM ONLY- RAIN OR SHINE Spirit moves in all things, but especially through great music. When music delivers you like that of legendary performance masters, and grandaddies of all live tour bands, the Grateful Dead, you stay delivered, for the rest of your life. Luckily for those of us who love this music, among us are a very small but highly talented few, who have become inspired to lovingly and meticulously perform the music in a way that honors the originators, and even more so sets out to reignite the magic of being there as it is fashioned out of the energy of an audience that loves it for how it moves them, how it connects them with others, and how it soothes if not heals them in a profound and singular way. Credit goes to Dark Star Orchestra as one of first groups to take on that tradition without the slightest bit of hesitation or reservation about their calling, to pay tribute and to meticulously give their talents to performing music that so many of us love as much as they do. The result has been thousands of days with thousands of joyful gatherings across the land, as so many people who never got to hear the Grateful Dead in person now get to hear seriously talented and devoted artists bringing it back to life with every bit of the energy and purity as anyone could hope to get from any band playing any kind of music. Great music inevitably gets reproduced and replayed and recreated, and great musicians will inevitably have many progeny to carry on their work. Widespread Panic is among these greats and now their Musical tradition, their sound, the experience they forged and the spirit it brings have inspired their musical progeny in the Austin-based band called Panic Stricken. And what an appropriate name because it is clear that this merry band of brothers, all talented musicians and highly skilled performers, are stricken with genuine love for everything that Widespread Panic brought to the world, including and especially the unbelievably brilliant, yet sadly cut short, musical genius and singular sound of Michael Houser, the late Widespread Panic guitarist lovingly known to all as the ‘lingering lead.’ Haters need not apply, Panic Stricken is a band for those who truly love the music and the spirit of Widespread Panic… and can never get enough of it. Panic Stricken, Austin, Texas, shares the music of Widespread Panic through faithful renditions and improvisational jams. Founded in 2014, the band quickly gained attention following a memorable fill-in performance at Empire Control Room and Garage in 2021. The group’s performances continue to captivate audiences across various cities by blending live shows with streaming sessions in 2023. Here’s to many more years of celebrating Widespread Panic’s music!

NIGHT ONE: Jazz is Dead
ALL AGESSTANDING ROOM ONLYJAZZ IS DEAD Jazz Is Dead – The legacy all-star instrumental ensemble, famous for interpretations of classic Grateful Dead songs with jazz influences, (re)assembled a killer line-up to immense critical and fan acclaim, and box office success in January. To celebrate Mars Hotel 50th Anniversary, original bassist Alphonso Johnson joined by Steve Kimock, Pete Lavezzoli & Bobby Lee Rodgers, performing songs from Grateful Dead’s ‘Wake of the Flood’, in addition to other beloved selections. Reuniting Steve Kimock & Alphonso Johnson, whom together in heavyweight post-Garcia Grateful Dead off-shoot The Other Ones, along with Bob Weir, commanded the instrumental prowess of that band that shines in Jazz Is Dead. Formed in 1998 by bassist Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report, Santana, Bobby & The Midnites, The Other Ones), drummer Billy Cobham (Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Bobby & The Midnites), keyboardist T Lavitz (Dixie Dregs) & guitarist Jimmy Herring (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Widespread Panic), with drummers Rod Morgenstern (Dixie Dregs) & Jeff Sipe (Leftover Salmon) replacing Cobham in 1999, and guitarist Jeff Pevar (CSN, David Crosby CPR, Phil Lesh & Friends) replacing Herring in 2000, recorded 3 acclaimed albums, the second of which ‘Laughing Water’ in 1999 was in fact an instrumental ‘Wake of the Flood’ reinterpretation – so there is precedent. That album also featured Derek Trucks, Donna Jean Godchaux & Vassar Clements.On Laughing Water, the fusion ensemble Jazz Is Dead one-ups the band that it sets out to honor. Laughing Water is a superior remake of the Grateful Dead’s rather ordinary rock album Wake of the Flood. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a Deadhead to appreciate this album. Laughing Water not only fuses jam-rock with jazz, but it possesses a country-bluesy Americana flavor. The songs on Laughing Water are long and improvisational, but they seldom grow boring. From a purely technical standpoint, each musician in Jazz Is Dead is a superior player to his counterpart in the Grateful Dead. But unlike many pop-jazz remakes of rock albums, Laughing Water manages to capture the rock ‘n roll animus of the original. The communal carefree spirit of tie-dyed counter culturalism lives on in this music. Not only should Deadheads come away happy, but fusion freaks and aficionados of improvisational rock should, too. – Ed Kopp, All About Jazz 1999 ‘Wake of the Flood’s’ reimagined interpretations remain in a repertoire that has expanded exponentially to cover most of the beloved, halcyon songs that have transcended generations, as devotees of The Grateful Dead have swelled to numbers far beyond those when Jerry Garcia was with us. Jazz Is Dead returns in June, unleashing 5 additional shows for ‘This Lazy Summer Home’ tour.
