CMSM Mickey Hart Press Release MEDIA CONTACT Stephanie King Marketing Director [email protected] (707) 284-1268 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart to speak at Charles M. Schulz Museum about impact of Woodstock music festival Mickey and Caryl Hart, along with author Dennis McNally will discuss the Woodstock Music Festival 50 years later. SANTA ROSA, Calif. July 22, 2019—On Saturday, August 3, the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center welcomes the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, California Coastal Commissioner and former Regional Parks Director Caryl Hart, and historian Dennis McNally for “50 Years of Evolving Consciousness,” a conversation reflecting on the legendary Woodstock music festival five decades later. The event is held in conjunction with the Museum’s current exhibition, Peace, Love, and Woodstock. The idea to invite the Harts to speak at the Museum was suggested by Jean Schulz, widow of Charles M. Schulz and President of the Museum’s Board of Directors. “Caryl and I became friends due to a mutual interest in the environment and her work to expand regional parks and open space in Sonoma County. At the same time, Mickey was traveling around the world researching for his world music album Planet Drum,” Jean Schulz said. “I think they offer a valuable perspective on the issues explored by the Woodstock generation, such as caring for the land and each other, and how these resonate today, both locally and globally.” Joining the conversation is Dennis McNally, author of A Long Strange Trip: The Inside History of the Grateful Dead, who will share his insights on the musical and cultural impact of the Woodstock festival. Advance tickets are required: $25 per person ($20 for members); limited to 4 tickets per person. Available online at schulzmuseum.org or by calling (707) 284-1265. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

    ART EXHIBITION Jerry Garcia Paintings & Drawings: 1961–1995 June 12—September 6, 2020 This summer, the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) presents the first survey of legendary musician Jerry Garcia’s lifelong visual art practice. Garcia, born and raised in San Francisco and a lifelong Bay Area resident, was deeply influenced by the city's colorful and diverse cultures. When he was a teenager, Garcia studied visual art at SFAI (then called the California School of Fine Arts) with teachers including Wally Hedrick, a seminal American visual artist of the Bay Area Beat Generation. Garcia's painting and drawing practice continued throughout his life and provided a creative refuge in an extremely public and successful career. The exhibition includes more than 60 works, both figurative and abstract, including ink and charcoal drawings, watercolors, and digital paintings, along with a selection of Garcia’s sketchbooks. It is curated by Andrew McClintock from the collection of Deborah Koons Garcia, Garcia’s widow who received her MFA in film at SFAI. Jerry Garcia was a composer, songwriter, and guitarist who played with The Jerry Garcia Band, the Grateful Dead, and David Grisman. General Information San Francisco Art Institute – Fort Mason’s galleries are open to the public Wednesday - Sunday 11am - 7pm and are located on Pier 2 within Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, 2 Marina Blvd., San Francisco, CA.

  • Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
    Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape. Amalie R. Rothschild, Fillmore East Marquee, December 1969. Courtesy Amalie R. Rothschild Beginnings The Grateful Dead began their musical journey in the San Francisco Bay Area at a pivotal time in American history, when the sensibilities of the Beat generation coincided with the spirit of the burgeoning hippie movement.

  • Jerry Garcia Back from the Grateful Dead
    Jerry Garcia Back From The Grateful Dead Renowned music documentary filmmaker Malcolm Leo and veteran personal manager John Hartmann have secured an agreement to produce a feature length documentary on music icon Jerry Garcia. After a lengthy pursuit of the rights, Leo will direct and also produce with Hartmann. The Leo/Hartmann Productions pic will be built around a 3-hour conversation that Leo conducted with Garcia in 1987. The historic interview was shot on negative film with studio quality sound and lighting. The footage presents a compelling portrait of the cult hero at the height of his success. Leo intends to blend an unprecedented amount of never-before-seen performances, documentary footage, and rare home movies. The project has great bonafides: Leo’s previous work includes films on Elvis Presley, Crosby Stills & Nash, and The Beach Boys. Hartmann, the brother of the late comedian Phil Hartmann, was formerly personal manager of Peter Paul & Mary, Crosby Stills & Nash, The Eagles, America, Poco, and others. The pair want a completed docu will be ready for release in the spring of 2012 and currently are finalizing financing and distribution with the help of Jeff Silberman of Century City law firm King Holmes Paterno & Berliner. Leo/Hartmann provided a short film clip to the San Francisco Giants for Jerry Garcia Day last summer seen by 42,000 fans. The entire celebration was captured on film by co-producer Justin Kreutzmann and will be included in the Leo/Hartmann movie. The producers were given full access to film Annabelle Garcia, Jerry’s eldest daughter, throwing out the first pitch as well as to members of The Grateful Dead legacy band Furthur singing the national anthem, as well as the Guinness World Record-setting playing of “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” by thousands of fans on kazoos.

  • The Allure of Chaotic Synergy in Grateful Dead Improvisation and Musical Dialogue
    “It All Rolls into One:” The Allure of Chaotic Synergy in Grateful Dead Improvisation and Musical Dialogue Jim Tuedio Grateful Dead music is renowned for its improvisational qualities. The “psychedelic synergy” characteristic of Grateful Dead improvisation was a hallmark of thirty years of constant touring, and the rapturous allure of the musical space sustained by the band’s live performances produced a veritable culture of “tour heads” in love with the sound. Deadheads will swear the Grateful Dead improvised in a style all their own. Indeed, Grateful Dead concerts became something of a fountainhead for richly attuned, mind- altering experiences. Yet mainstream discussions of musical improvisation offer only passing references to this phenomenon to suggest anything extraordinary might have been going on. In what follows, I will attempt a discussion of Grateful Dead improvisation from the standpoint of the listener immersed in musical synergy. My goal is to explore the allure of “chaotic synergy” in Grateful Dead improvisation from a standpoint of musical embodiment. While the best access to this synergistic immersion would be through the portal of a live concert, one can attempt a careful analysis of the productive tensions operating in the musical dialogue itself. To open a conceptual space for this analysis, we need a figurative portal to musical embodiment. To reveal this point of access, we will explore facets of a listener’s engagement in Grateful Dead “phase space.” As such, this analysis will constitute something more like a phenomenology than a musicology of group improvisation. The principle focus of my analysis will be the performative “plane of immanence” characteristic of Grateful Dead music.

  • Bob Weir of Dead & Co. Plays D'angelico
    For Immediate Release: BOB WEIR OF DEAD & CO. PLAYS D’ANGELICO GUITAR ON STAGE TO HELP PROMOTE CHARITY AUCTION Weir Performed “Peggy-O” with the Signed, Customized Guitar in Worcester, MA Last Night WORCESTER, MA – With Dead & Company getting rave reviews across the Northeast, Bob Weir continued a relatively-new tradition of playing a signed guitar on stage to help boost a charity auction. Last night at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA, Weir played “Peggy-O” with a D’Angelico guitar signed by all the members of Dead & Company. The one-of-a-kind EX-SS guitar, which also features the Dead & Company logo on its pick guard, is being auctioned on the tour to benefit more than a half- dozen charities. Currently, the high bid sits at $11,500. The guitar will be “Truckin’, up to Buffalo, ”on display and open for bidding tonight on the concourse as the First Niagara Center, and then will continue across the country with stops in Columbus, OH, Greensboro, NC, Atlanta, GA and more. HeadCount, a non-profit organization that promotes civic engagement and voter registration through music, organized the auction and is bringing it to most cities on the Dead & Company tour. The person with the highest bid by the end of the tour – from any city – will become the guitar’s proud owner. Weir first played a D’Angelico guitar on stage during the Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well shows last summer. That guitar sold at auction for $526,000, making it the 18th most expensive guitar ever sold and netting nearly $30,000 each for 17 different charities.

The organizations featured on Participation Row will include the Rex Foundation a charitable non- profit established by members of the Grateful Dead in 1983, the bone marrow donor screening organization Love Hope Strength, environmental groups Reverb and Mom’s Clean Air Force, the Multidisciplinary Associations for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), and HeadCount, which specializes in voter registration and civic engagement through music.
