Another One (Grateful Dead tribute), Chicken Wire Empire (Old and In the Way)

Chicken Wire Empire
Jerry Garcia and his bandmates on the legendary bluegrass album Old and in The Way introduced as many players to the form in the 1970s and since as Bill Monroe did a generation or two earlier. Garcia was an impeccable banjoist with timing as locked in as a metronome. Selections from that album will be in very good hands with members of Chicken Wire Empire, including five-string player John Peik, one of the Midwest’s most prolific pluckers on the instrument. The energy should be high as this string of “Very Garcia” shows with Another One (playing a Dead set) comes just before Chicken Wire Empire heads out for 10-plus shows in Germany and the Netherlands.
