Chasing Light Beams

If you’ve ever seen a photo of the Grateful Dead – or most any other amazing band for that matter – there is a good chance that you’ve seen one of Jay’s photographs. From Jerry G. to the Butthole Surfers to Snoop Dogg, Jay has been the man behind the lens for it all. I hope that you guys enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making this one

I really enjoyed this recording this episode with Sean. If you haven’t seen him perform live yet, do you even music ?

Brian sat down with Chasing Light Beams to discuss his love for the music, the Dead and his awesome perspective on life. What a treat! Brian is the founder of one of Northern California’s up and coming jam bands, Love Mischief. Their goal is to embark on a sonic journey through many musical landscapes in order to open hearts and minds. You’ll see Brian’s super positive once the podcast gets going! Love Mischief seamlessly weaves Funk, Psychedelic Rock, Jazz Fusion and even Progressive Metal, with free-wheeling jamband improvisation as the common thread. Come out to a show and Feel The Love!

I had a so much fun getting to set down with these guys for an episode.  Pink Talking Fish tours pretty extensively so make sure to check these guys out whenever they in your neck of the woods. Sit back and enjoy. I so glad that you could join us, because here everyone’s doin’ that rag!

Originally formed to pay tribute to Jerry Garcia, the Andy Coe Band has evolved into the liveliest psychedelic jam band to come out of the Pacific Northwest in years. Guitarist Andy Coe with Gary Palmer on Keys, Chris Jones on bass, and Scott Goodwin on drums, deliver stellar improvisational tunes in the mystical Dead tradition. With a rich background in jazz and joyful enthusiasm for blues and psychedelic rock, Andy Coe Band draws in listeners like no other. I hope that you all enjoy listening to this podcast as much as I enjoyed making it.

Matt Hartle knows the music of the Grateful Dead. Whether he’s shredding a funky Terrapin with The China Cat’s or he’s pickin’ an old timey Old and In The Way tune, he’s sure to be creating a peak experience. Chasing Light Beams podcast sat down with Matt to hear him speak about how he creates his Jerry tones, what it’s like playing Dead tunes for new Heads as well as older ones and the magical formula that is built into the anatomy of a Dead song. So sit back and enjoy. We’re so glad that you could join us, because here everyone’s doin’ that rag!
