Deadgrass is a group of seasoned pros that explores the works of Jerry Garcia on the instruments that first inspired him, drawing from Old & in the Way, JGB, Jerry’s Jug Band days and the Grateful Dead.

No Static, one of the few Steely Dan tribute bands in the country, is made up of 10 musicians from around the Boston area. They specialize in expertly performing the music of "Steely Dan." Re-creating that bluesy jazz-rock sound that sprung from the fertile imaginations of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker is no small feat. As you Dan-Fans know, the tunes are convoluted and complex, spanning many genres; very precise, with time changes and key changes popping up where sometimes least expected. Vocally and musically challenging, this is not an easy band to pay tribute to.
 
No Static has been doing it for over 10 years now and their sold-out shows tell the tale. They work at it and they get it right. Over the years they have been lucky enough to share the stage with Steely Dan band members, Walt Weiskopf (saxophonist) and Jon Herington (Music Director/guitarist). 



"Southern Rail's bluegrass is high octane exuberant fun with lush harmonies, irrepressible good humor and sparkling banjo, guitar and mandolin. The group has released 11 recordings to wide acclaim.  Two of the band's members, guitarist Jim Muller and bassist Sharon Horovitch, were recently inducted, by the Rhode Island Bluegrass Alliance, into their Bluegrass Hall of Fame."
