"Cubensis plays with the same laid-back mastery as the Real McCoy" - LA WEEKLY.


Cubensis celebrates the Grateful Dead concert experience.
Like the Dead, the band plays a wondrous amalgam of blues, country, jazz, electronic and rock and roll, all in the space of about three hours on stage.
No two shows are alike. As with all improvisational jambands, every Cubensis performance is an ongoing experiment.
All eras of the Dead are represented, plus selections from the Jerry Garcia Band. Truly, there is nothing like a Cubensis show!!

 
In remembering this very complex man I would (of course) like to do justice to (firstly) his musical memory. For me no other guitar player has EVER come close to Jerry. It wasn't a matter of his technique
 (there were more technically gifted players) but rather what (through his music) he managed to 'do with my head' when he played. Garcia was a master alchemist of 'musical mood' and could and did take me
 on inner journeys that were beyond my ability to describe. His was music for 'stoned people' and in those days we were all 'off our tits' letting him lead us through gardens of earthly and heavenly musical delights.
I ALWAYS felt 'safe' with Garcia in the sense that I felt I could 'surrender' to his music and after a long and discursive musical 'journey' he would both whip me round the universe at great speed and generally
 'blow me away' before gently depositing me back at the ...beginning of the musical journey. He was for me the master of improvisation and a man of exquisite musical taste. On a personal level as a Tour Manager,
there was never a man easier to work for, though he could be absolutely scathing should something happen of which he disapproved. His 'core criteria' for our gigs (and I did over three hundred with him)
 was "is this going to be FUN?" - if the fun came FIRST then the rest, he believed, would naturally follow. He was RIGHT!! He had to make some hard calls in his personal life and I am convinced that his life
as a musician became almost too much to bear but who am I to judge the man? To this day I listen to him play every day - his music says it all. He was a wonderful and VERY human man. RIP Jerry and THANK YOU!

For "help on the way," Cubensis salutes our Deadicated and hardworking crew:
merch lady B.J. Kovach, soundman John Murchison, audio archivist Wayne Stielau,
videographer Tibor "Grunzy" Grunsfeld, road guy John Cripe plus countless crew/volunteers over the years.
Special thanks to our gifted artist Darrin Brenner.
As always, ultimate props to all the members of the Grateful Dead.

Cubensis commentary: The band plays weekly shows that are sometimes only marginally profitable,
all because we believe in the "community" of Deadheads and getting together regularly.
Please support these shows with your faithful attendance whenever you can!
