New Album Release – Solo Pianist Delivers Stirring Grateful Dead Concert Deep In The Misty Redwoods
[ad_1]
OCCIDENTAL, California During a lull in a series of powerful winter storms, pianist Rob Catterton delivered a memorable solo performance of Grateful Dead music deep in the redwoods of Occidental, California. The concert was played in front of a passionate audience who had braved road closures and flooding to attend, and the pianist did not disappoint them.
This highly-anticipated new release brings pianist Rob Catterton’s successful studio album, “A Grand Piano Tribute to the Grateful Dead,” to a live, concert hall setting. The album offers fresh interpretations of twelve classic Dead jams, highlighted by Dark Star, St. Stephen, The Other One, China Cat Sunflower, Terrapin Station, Cassidy, and Morning Dew.
Accompanied by two beautiful interpretive dancers onstage and enhanced by the psychedelic set design, the pianist’s performance captured a spark of the energy, spontaneity, and creativity of the Grateful Dead. “That mysterious something that the Grateful Dead found – you could feel it in the air that night,” the pianist remarked. “It was a shared experience – the music, the dancers, lighting and set design, and the audience of hardcore Dead Heads who braved the storms and flooding to attend.”
