Matt Turk and C Lanzbom joined forces to form Deadgrass, a string band
adventure through Jerry Garcia’s musical world. Bassist Dave Richards,
banjo player Boo Reiners and fiddler Kensuke Shoji complete this fine
group of seasoned pros exploring the life works of Jerry Garcia on the
instruments that first inspired him. Deadgrass celebrates and interprets the
music of Jerry Garcia, drawing from Old & in the Way, JGB, Jerry’s Jug
Band days and The Grateful Dead.

affection and passion for Jerry Garcia’s music has been a major influence.
Bassist Dave Richards performs in Hamilton on Broadway and has
recorded and performed with The Indigo Girls, Rosanne Cash, Buster
Poindexter, Madeline Peyroux, Jewel and Richie Havens. He has toured

throughout Europe, Canada and the USA, appearing at Ottawa Jazz,
