Dark Star is coming to Sonoma County for 2 nights the The Mystic Theatre! They are playing Tue 4/13 and Wed 4/14. These guys always put on such a great show, hope to see some of you there! http://www.mystictheatre.com/show/detail/27047

I think Stu Allen is THE Jerry Guitarist out there....vocally and musically...here's a link to a show I recorded a month or 2 ago...it's a SBD feed mixed with a lil Audience to add to the ambiance. The show's smokin hot. http://www.archive.org/details/schwag2009-09-19.sbd.mtx (listen to Standing on the Moon if you only have time for one) "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

Oops wrong graphic... the one above is for the Melvin Seals/JGB Tour lol :-)

DSO/Donna Jean Band/SHS are hosting food drives for local community food banks on the remaining dates of the northeast fall tour...

Dark Star Orchestra to their fans: Dear DSO Fan – Thank you for joining us and being a part of this continuing, long strange trip these past 12 years. Your support and excitement for the music has kept us going strong for over 1700 shows. Throughout the years, we’ve had transitions both difficult and uplifting, yet the positive energy of our fan base has continued to propel our mission onward for performing this important music and for keeping this vibrant scene alive. That said, we, as a band are entering another chapter in this story. Dark Star Orchestra’s lead guitarist and one of its founding members, John Kadlecik, has decided to resign from DSO. John’s last show with us will be on December 5 in Buffalo. DSO is supportive of John’s choice and we wish him the very best. Dark Star Orchestra will continue to bring you this music at its highest level. In our 12-year history we have gone through three drummers, three keyboard players, three bass players and numerous rhythm guitarists and we have always managed to keep improving the sound and the experience. We will be taking on a new player with his own talents and energy and turn yet another chapter in DSO history. Veteran guitarist Jeff Mattson of the Zen Tricksters and Donna Jean Godchaux Band, will be joining us this week, on the New Year’s run, Jam Cruise, and for our upcoming Winter Tour that begins in February. We assure you all the things you love about the Dark Star Orchestra experience will continue, and we ask for your patience, friendship and positive energy as we keep truckin’ on… Dark Star Orchestra

SO amazing, saw them twice and cant wait to see them again. I definatly recommend them, a good time, good experiance, and some good people! How can you go wrong?

here's a chance to check out DSO and help the Rex Foundation too on Sept. 25 at the Crystal Ballroom: more info.

I saw DSO at Governors Island last year, great show, but I've been looking into their return to Governors Island this year. apparently they're building a beach right on the water that faces Manhattan. So it's like a beach party/concert with DSO and Keller Williams. So psyched, should be a pretty awesome new venue. Let me know if you know more about this new beach.

Seen them twice taken my little girl both times,she loves it. She calls it dance all night.will see them every chance we get! My pic is Libbie at her first DSO show. What Would Jerry Do?

Took my 7 year old daughter to this one. They played their own set as opposed to a Dead show, and I was impressed. I never had the feeling that they were trying to be the Dead, just that they were keeping the music alive. Daughter passed out early in the second set, but up until that she was groovin'.
