Jam The Music Of The Grateful Dead
Band News
Arrows of Neon expands their sound
Long-time friend of the band, drummer and percussionist, Terry Butts (Grover, Iycen) joins full-time as an additional drummer. With his strong background in funk, he brings a fresh new groove to the lineup expanding the rhythm section and holding down the beat. With this addition, the shows have organically included some new drum and space style experimentation that was much more of a rarity in the past. We look forward to seeing the spectacle of both full drum kits rocking future stages.
Arrows of Neon returns to Wham Bam in 2018!
We are beyond thrilled to be back and celebrating with our friends at the 9th annual Wham Bam Thank U Jam! We are bringing a special guest with us this year, Mr. Stephen Buttree (Subterranean). Wham Bam is a celebration that must be experienced. The organizers are all volunteers and the proceeds from the event are donated to charity. Their motto: Live, Love, Learn & Pass it on!
Arrows of Neon Jams Fare Thee Well Pre-show
We were mid rehearsal when I received the text that asked if Arrows of Neon had any audio to use for the Grateful Dead pre-show. There was only one catch, well maybe two. It had to be a recording that was not an actual Grateful Dead song and it was needed the next day! Needless to say I spent the next few hours combing through rehearsal sessions to isolate some fantastic impromptu jams that occasionally happen during our weekly practices. I managed to collect five good ones, did a bit of quick mastering and sent them off.
After spending nearly a week in Chicago and experiencing all that was Fare Thee Well, I decided to look for the Pre-shows. What I found was even better than I had expected, a complete 30+ minute show with interviews and great event coverage produced by LiveList!
We are honored to be part of the Grateful Dead experience and proud to be able to contribute to the show. You can watch the entire pre-show here:
