""The Grateful Dead flirted with acoustic music throughout their career, until they released the Reckoning album, 45 years ago," they say. "We have flirted with Grateful Dead music throughout our career, until this anniversary was suggested as a good reason to book these shows. We know the Dead's music is a mountain, and we're hoping to start up from base camp this Spring in celebration of their legacy.""
