Dark Star Orchestra's shows are built off the extensive catalog of the
Grateful Dead. On any given night the band will perform a show based on a
set list from the Grateful Dead's 30 years of extensive touring or use the
catalog of original songs and often played covers to create a unique set
list for the show. This allows music fans both young and old to share in the
experience. Dark Star Orchestra presents its critically acclaimed live show
at esteemed venues from coast to coast and internationally. Grateful Dead
classics are performed in the same way that an orchestra interprets music of
classical composers. The composer spirit is derived and channeled as the
players capture the excitement and innovation of the original performances
and compositions. Touring nationwide for eleven years to the tune of over
1700 shows since forming, the band's determined commitment to "raising the
Dead" has drawn national media attention.
