Grateful Dead Music Forum

Hi- I recently moved back to eastern LI from California and am looking to start or perhaps join a Dead band. I am an experienced Jerry Guitarist/vocalist who has been in a few bands. I have been running some ads on Craigslist and FB, but have had only limited responses. I really need experienced Bobby and keyboards. I've had a fair amount of responses on Bass and Drums and am planning on holding auditions at a rehearsal studio in Holbrook in the next few weeks. Please let me know if you are interested and feel free to pass along. Thanks !

Hi Mike. Good luck with getting a new band going on the East Coast. I miss the jams you used to host at the tiny studio you rented in Marin. As you know I can do Bobby, but the commute from Oakland is a bit much!

I can attest that Mike is both a nice guy and a very accomplished “Jerry”.

Bill, tgo

Thanks Bill! Miss you pal.

Reach out to Ed DiCapua (Mind Over Music; Great Caesar's Ghost) in East Quogue. Ed's a pro drummer who's plugged into the local Dead/Allmans/Stones scene. He may be able to offer recommendations. He's also an old high school friend. I haven't spoken with Ed since our mutual best friend and Great Caesar's Ghost guitarist, Ray Penney's (RIP) celebration of life a decade ago but he's still active. https://vicfirth.com/blogs/artist/edmund-dicapua-vf

Thank you Jon!
