In just 9 months of 1970, the Grateful Dead recorded and released their 4th and 5th studio albums, Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty. Featuring 18 songs like “Uncle John’s Band,” “Casey Jones” “Box of Rain,” “Friend of the Devil,” “Sugar Magnolia,” “Ripple,” “Brokedown Palace,” and “Truckin’,” they fused rock, blues, bluegrass, folk and especially country music, changing the direction of the band, and popular music overall away from psychedelia toward a traditional acoustic sound. Guitarist Marc Muller directs a song-by-song celebration featuring special guests Chris Barron (Spin Doctors) and Buddy Cage (New Riders of the Purple Sage), plus the Live Dead Band including John Merjave from the Beatles band Liverpool; singer-songwriter and former Relix recording artist Jonah Smith; Trenton-based guitarist Scott Rednor; drummer Dave Anthony and percussionist Brian Kollins. An accomplished musician, producer and arranger, Marc has worked with Shania Twain, Van Zant, Tommy Shaw, and Branford Marsalis to name a few, and written and recorded music for PBS, Disney Channel, CMT and The Weather Channel.
