photos: Dave Martin On Saturday March 8, members of Raising The Dead performed for Benji Rosenzweig's Storied #3 - Dead sessions. Bill, Chaim, and Alex played with Dave's Bobby guru Mickey Toop and Terrapin Flyer's Josh Olken playing through Matt Cole's rig (Matt sat in for a few tunes)
Benji explored the Dead's history, songbook and legacy focusing on where Jews and the Jewish community contributed and collaborated with the band to make them what they are. It was a real good time! We're coming to the town named after depot station #6 (maybe) - NOVI! Shakedown will appear at the HUB Stadium Novi on Saturday, March 29, and we hope you'll join us! Tickets are available at this link, and let your friends know you are going by RSVP'ing on Facebook. We'll be playing a 5-piece electric set that night, but in the afternoon we will play our regular, last Saturday of the month gig at The Sardine Room in Plymouth. We hope you will decide to call in on that day and take a trip with us!
photos: William Morgan, Heinz Plaumann, Dave Martin, Jody Bauman On Saturday, February 22, Bill, Dave and Joseph were joined by one of our favorite musicians, Dead At The Winery's Michael Bush for another fun filled Saturday show. Jody Bauman painted another original masterpiece. We wrote the first set and invited the audience to suggest songs for our second, a formula that yielded excellent results the last time we did it - and this time was just as joyful! So many friends came out to shake their bones, with special guest Angela Shepard joining us for "They Love Each Other." We'll do this again on March 29 for sure!

Our first "jukebox" audience request show was a huge success. Definitely ended as a Dead dance party at the Sardine Room! We played our first set by pulling requests from the tip jar and during our break (eating the best brunch around) we assembled a second set from requests - it was simply awesome. Jodi painted one of our favorite pieces from his request: Ship of Fools. For our next show, we will write a first set and make our second set from your requests. Join us February 22!

photos: Michael Chojnowski, Bruce Matzkin, Jody Bauman Thanks for celebrating the beginning of Matt's 60th circle around the sun with Raising The Dead at the Blind Pig! Over 200 fans paid to join us for an evening of musical bliss and the fellowship that follows this most special music. Chaim's family band Groove Monkey Trio opened the show for us, and everybody oo'd and ah'd when they dropped their Shakedown Street > We Want The Funk medley.
Superfan Bruce Matzkin traveled all the way from Boston to join us! We always appreciate the first-rate sound engineering we receive from Front of House (FOH) at The Blind Pig. The great sound let us stretch out and enjoy some really unique trance-jams, especially in Shakedown (the one RTD played). We can't wait to do it all for y'all again. 1-4-2025 The Blind Pig, Ann Arbor, MI I: Jack Straw > Mississippi Half Step Toodeloo > Hell in a Bucket > Maggie's Farm > Cumberland Blues, Black Throated Wind, So Many Roads > China Cat Sunflower > Feel Like A Stranger II: Dark Star > Playing In The Band > Ship of Fools > Playing Jam > Shakedown Street > Drums > I Need a Miracle > Terrapin Station > Playing Reprise, Scarlet Begonias E: Women Are Smarter |
