NRPS began as a part-time spin-off from the Grateful Dead when Jerry Garcia (pedal steel guitar), Phil Lesh (bass) and Mickey Hart (drums) teamed up with John Dawson (guitar, vocals) and David Nelson (guitar). Although early live appearances were viewed as an informal warm-up to the main attraction, the group quickly established an independent identity through the strength of Dawson's original songs.

Bassnectar combines sound and force with weight while spanning the spectrum of sonic style, covering every genre imaginable, and smashing it all into a collision of wobbling, perverted basslines, hypnotic hide-and-seek adventures, and pretty much anything that strikes his fancy. He calls the end product “omnitempo maximalism,” which basically means no rules, no limitations, and no
hesitation in fusing the familiar with the strange or the classic with the cutting edge.

Shawn Phillips@ The German House
7pm
Doors/8pm Show
$20 presale/$25 day of show
Tickets available at: The Keg at the German House and the Bop Shop (no service charge), Aaron’s Alley and all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com, charge by phone 1-800-745-3000
"Shawn Phillips is one of most fascinating and enigmatic musicians to come out of the early '70s singer-songwriter boom. The mere fact that he was a musician as much as a singer and songwriter made him stand out, and helped him attract a dedicated following. His refusal to shape his music -- which crosses between folk-rock, jazz, progressive, pop, and classical -- to anyone else's expectations has allowed him to hold onto a large and dedicated cult following. A cult figure whose peers include Van Dyke Parks and, perhaps, Leonard Cohen, he remains an enigmatic figure on the music landscape. His work remained sufficiently in demand."
