The Bedford Cultural District’s New Song Music Series welcomes Deadgrass on Saturday, November 15.

Deadgrass is a string band jamgrass adventure through the music of Jerry Garcia, formed by Matt Turk and Grammy-award winner C Lanzbom. Joined by bassist Dave Richards, banjo player Boo Reiners, and fiddler Kensuke Shoji, this group of seasoned pros celebrates and interprets Garcia’s music on the instruments that first inspired him.

Matt Turk, a veteran multi-instrumentalist, has performed with Pete Seeger, opened for Judy Collins and the Doobie Brothers, and played major venues from Lincoln Center to The Beacon Theatre. Lanzbom brings studio and touring credits with Bruce Springsteen, Crystal Bowersox, and Soulfarm, and runs Sherwood Ridge Studio.
Dave Richards performs in Hamilton on Broadway and has played with Rosanne Cash and the Indigo Girls. Boo Reiners has collaborated with Steve Martin and The Klezmatics. Kensuke Shoji, a Berklee-trained jazz violinist, brings global influences and deep improvisational roots.

Tickets are $30 ($25 up to one week prior to the event) and may be purchased at https://newsongbedford.org. Performances are in the Reed Room of Bedford’s Town Hall. Doors open at 6:45 and the music begins at 7:30. A selection of sweet treats and beverages will be available at the event.
