Dancing
Bear - Acoustic Duo |
![]() |
Dancing Bear's purpose is to highlight the
acoustic/roots side of the Grateful Dead and, insofar as any duo can, tip our hats to
the Dead's incredible musical contribution. Dave and I come from folk music
backgrounds originally and admire how traditional influences shine through so
much of their music. Some of what we do therefore is to
present the Dead's covers in an often more original context. For example,
I'll flatpick their bluegrass covers on acoustic guitar over
Dave's standup bass, or fingerpick their old blues tunes as did the prewar
bluesmen who first recorded them. We also interpret Dead originals in a new light with arrangements that never try to imitate the inimitable Dead, but instead return to the same folk roots that inspired them. -GW |
