Band Beyond Description

If the Grateful Dead is your religion, then the Crazy Horse is your church when Third Thursday rolls around. Every month Jonny Mojo (Achilles Wheel), Gary Campus (Deadbeats) and Tim High (Tim High & the Mighty) host a cast of the finest musicians from around the region to conjure lightning in a bottle. BBD is a gathering point for everyone who wants to take a leap into the realm of possibility where that Grateful Dead magic still swirls freely. Serving as a gathering point for friends old and new, this event pulses with its own unique flavor. The music that bubbles forth from these nights captures the spontaneous, primal, orgasmic spirit that so many of us crave.

Carrying a humble mystique, Jonny has earned his status as the Obi Wan of the scene. He unfurls paths to the promised land with his incredibly versatile guitar playing and soulful vocal presence. He lives and breathes this music like a fish swimming in the sea. Gary emanates pure joy in every beat and gracefully adapts his style to elevate the strengths of his collaborators. Bringing a jazz sensibility aligned with the heyday of the Dead, he’s been a rhythmic instigator in the region for over 45 years and is more fired up than ever. Nothing makes Tim happier than singing Grateful Dead and JGB songs as is evident by his assertive and heartfelt renditions of the classics as well as obscurities. Like Mickey Mantle switch-hitting, he carries the power of Bob and the emotion of Jerry.

The guests this month include a pair of amazing musicians who have been friends since childhood. We’re borrowing Jay Wilcox (guitar) and Jeffrey Quigley (keys) from Lovin’ Dead and Like a Rose. Jay is fully dialed with the Jerry guitar sound, vocals and vibe. He can unlock corridors into the deep recesses of GD emotion while also stoking the flames. Jeff is extremely versatile and full of vigor, with a specialization in the Brent era. Rounding out the group is bass dynamo, Ajeet Campbell (Nipper Brothers, Lovin’ Dead, RAYO!). He seems to get funkier every time he plays and has an uncanny ability to channel Phil’s signature bounce. Come see for your yourselves!
