Using entire shows from the Grateful Dead's decades of touring as a launching pad, Dark Star Orchestra recreates song for song performances straight from historic set lists. Touring nationwide for more than 15 years to the tune of over 2200 shows since forming, Dark Star Orchestra's determined commitment to 'raising the Dead' has drawn them national media attention.
