Tangent Gallery Residency begins Sunday, October 24 & Detroit Dead opening for Marcus Rezak October 29

20x24 Oil on Canvas by Martina Sanroman

Raising The Dead is excited to begin our fall residency at the Tangent Gallery and Hastings Street Ballroom this Sunday, October 24.  We'll play from 7pm to midnight with a selection of songs from the Dead catalog spanning their entire career.  The show will be a special treat for fans of the now defunct People Mover's Band - as James Waldecker will be filling in for Matt Cole on lead guitar, meaning a third of the band (including Joe and Laurie) are PMB alumni.  We'll perform some of their signature tunes and arrangements.  

Matt will rejoin us for performances on November 12 and December 19.  Shows will feature live painting by Martina Sanroman, artist of our poster shown above, and we'll be offering signed prints of the poster at the gigs.  

On Friday, October 29, Marcus Rezak's Shred is Dead returns to Otus Supply, and we've assembled a supergroup of Detroit musicians to open for him.  Detroit Dead includes Dave Martin (guitar), Laurie Lester (vocals) and Matthew Cole (guitar) from Raising the Dead; John Lyle (bass) from Dead Again/Deep Space Six; Justin Lee (keys) from Dead at the Winery; and Chaim Tolwin (drums) from Supercrunch/Deadicated. They'll get the Shred is Dead party started with some sing-along jam favorites!

We hope you'll join us, and mark your calendar for a BIG gig coming up on December 4!
