CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT BAND @ Turner’s on the River
RESTLESS LEG STRING BAND @ Turner’s on the River
On August first 2015, I witnessed magic occur on the banks of the Ohio river. Joy, celebration and jubilation were in the air as Louisville came together to celebrate love, community, and the Grateful Dead. Grateville Dead was a get down with such a natural organic feel, I had almost forgotten the time and effort that had gone into preparing it.
It was a beautiful day to be a Deadhead in Louisville, Kentucky as some of the finest musicians in the land offered up their interpretations of the songs that helped forge my life and love. I walked away with a smile on my face tears in my eyes, and pride in my heart. This was my home…
It couldn’t have happened anywhere else.
It took everyone involved, from the children spinning on front of the stage, the vendors offering their wares and food, the volunteers, the fans, and Dennie and Ashley, whose vision came to life. I watched the birth of an annual event that I look forward to being a part of, in one form or another, for many years to come.
