It's really about the sound that’s created. It's about a sense of familiarity. It's about a feeling that grabs listeners and takes over. It's about a contagious energy: it's about the experience. Dark Star Orchestra has been delivering this experience to old and new Grateful Dead fans for 10 years. The band performs up to 250 dates in a year, continuing an explosive growth, playing at larger venues and theaters, collaborating with guests including Grateful Dead alumni Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Donna Jean Godchaux-Mackay, Vince Welnick, and Tom Constanten. Due to their explosive growth, the band has begun playing two and three night stands in towns where the audiences are growing and coming out to enjoy the experience of a DSO show. The timeless music of the Grateful Dead has no age boundaries as fans at DSO shows range in age from teenager to post-baby boomer. What DSO does is not just a tribute to the Grateful Dead but a testament to the enormous number of unique set lists they performed in their long career.
