As
a founder of alternative country pioneers Uncle Tupelo, as a solo
artist, and as the leader of Son Volt, Jay Farrar’s work often seeks out
the ghosts of America’s discordant or forgotten past, converses at
length with them, and writes songs that stake a claim to a better
future. Most recently, Farrar has added One Fast Move Or I’m Gone: Music
From Kerouac’s Big Sur (F-Stop/Atlantic), a collaboration project with
Benjamin Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie, to his long list of critically
acclaimed albums. For many years, Farrar’s songwriting has been inspired
and influenced by Kerouac’s compositional style. He called upon this
inspiration when writing the songs for One Fast Move Or I’m Gone by
pulling passages directly from the Kerouac’s Big Sur and putting them to
music with Gibbard. These songs were then used in the documentary about
Kerouac of the same name.
Grateful Dead Tribute

FORGOTTEN
SPACE is a Texas based Grateful Dead tribute band comprised of six
diverse musicians with a deep understanding and respect for the rich and
varied Grateful Dead songbook. Formed in 2006, the band has
continuously grown both in it's popularity and it's repertoire. All the
while, they have meticulously bridged the gap between creating the sound
and feel of the Grateful Dead experience and finding the balanced,
tasteful space to express their own personal identities as musicians.
Staying true to form, the instrumentation of two guitars, bass,
keyboards, two drummers, and strong three and four part vocal harmonies
creates an incredibly accurate representation of the real enchilada. Add
to that a willingness to explore arrangements from all eras of the
Dead's body of work (1965-1995), and you end up with an all out,
explosive mixture of good vibes, endless dance party, and deep space
musical exploration which engages Deadheads and non-Deadheads alike.
