Walking in his footsteps in the Sweet Delta Dawn:
In keeping with the spirit of bands like 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. Sweet Delta Dawn bassist and 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 that music makes all of us feel.
