PRESS RELEASE   

The Music of Jerry Garcia Celebrated by Deadgrass at Thrasher Opera House

Green Lake, Wis. (April 08, 2024)—String band Deadgrass will play Green Lake, Wisconsin’s Thrasher Opera House on Friday, May 17, at 7:30 p.m. Guests will enjoy that Deadgrass celebrates and interprets Jerry Garcia's music, drawing from Old & in the Way, JGB, Jerry’s Jug Band days, and The Grateful Dead.

Matt Turk and C Lanzbom joined forces to form Deadgrass, a string band adventure through Jerry Garcia’s musical world. Bassist Dave Richards, banjo player Boo Reiners, and fiddler Kensuke Shoji complete this fine group of seasoned pros exploring the life works of Jerry Garcia on the instruments that first inspired him. “We interpret Jerry’s catalog and make it our own,” said Matt Turk, co-founder of Deadgrass. “We’re not a tribute band. We’re a group of musicians who bring bluegrass/folk/rock/jazz/jam/Americana and more to create our own interpretation of this incredible American music.”

The Deadgrass performance is sponsored by gold sponsors Michael and Aileen Ellis. It is supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Tickets for Deadgrass on May 17 at 7:30 p.m. are $27 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279
