Donna Jean & the Tricksters

Guitarist Channeling Garcia Draws From Over 30 Years of Professional Experience, Having Played in the Donna Jean Godchaux Band and The Zen Tricksters

Nelson Ledges Quarry Park has been serving up Grateful Fest for almost ten years now. What a long strange trip it's been! Our very special yearly event will have a plethora of impeccable guests!!!

First some personal background - My first Grateful Dead Show was in July of '72, my first Zen Tricksters Show was, as far as I can recollect, in early 1991. My last Dead Show was in 1990, the Zen Trickster run continues unabated. Over the years I developed a friendship with The Tricksters and was their CD archivist for 8 years starting in 1998. The band would give me the DAT's and I'd decide what would be archived. To this day the band considers me to be their toughest critic. I experienced my share of off nights with the Good Old Grateful Dead and I call them as I hear them. My perspective is from the audience's side of the stage, with this as background let me share my thoughts/feelings on the new Donna Jean & the Tricksters release.
