press release: Heavily inspired by bands like The Grateful Dead, Phish, The Beatles, The Allman Brothers Band and Pink Floyd, Sweet Delta Dawn brings miles of smiles everywhere they go.  Sweet Delta Dawn is a four piece band consisting of Tyler Willenbrink on drums and vocals, Jeff Clarke on bass and lead vocals, Jack Peterson on guitar and vocals, and Jay Vollberg on keyboards and vocals. They are one of the newest up and coming jam bands in the Madison area.

Spoken of by fans as “an awesome local band,” Sweet Delta Dawn brings good energy, mind-bending vibrations, and fun times to EVERY show!  “Sweet Delta Dawn...is jamming!”  exclaims J. James Tye III -Make Music Madison. The band Zen Franklin of Oshkosh tells fans to “Get super psychedelic with the funky-fresh Sweet Delta Dawn!” Sweet Delta Dawn’s appearances include festivals such as The Family Gathering, who called the band "another one of our great acts,” as well as Toodeloo Music Festival, who recommends you “Get up to speed with some Sweet Delta Dawn!"

In keeping with the spirit of The Grateful Dead, Sweet Delta Dawn jams from one song into the next and back again.  Seamlessly blending songs together throughout a setlist, to invoke a unique musical experience with each performance.  Often, like The Dead, they leave room for exploratory, textural, spacey soundscapes.  “One amazing musical tapestry,” states The Brink Lounge.  Sweet Delta Dawn bassist and lead vocalist Jeff Clarke says, “We LOVE The Grateful Dead!”  “They’ve paved the way and helped create a scene where Jam Bands like us can flourish.  They’ve had a positive influence on so much, not only in music, but in the world.  It’s 50 years later and they’re still jamming, it really is a beautiful thing.  We want people to feel the way music makes all of us feel.   This is our first time playing a full night of acoustic jams, so we hope to see YOU there!”  Sweet Delta Dawn will be joined by Grateful Beth.  Grateful Beth has been performing for 16 years. Her musical talent includes singing, songwriting, guitar, harmonica, percussion, and ukelele.
