H Spring Concert Production Workshops May marks the return of our Concert Production Workshop series! This series will cover the ins and outs of putting on a live concert from both the venue and performer perspective. Participants will have the oppor- tunity to learn about all that goes into putting on a live concert. From booking and promotion to production and band etiquette, these workshops will introduce you to the world of concert production taught by profes- sionals in the field. Whether you are a musician or a fan, a casual observer or a college professor this will strive to give you a spectrum of knowledge for event planning and production as well as the occasional foray into abstract concepts of sound and light. We encourage both adults and youth age sixteen and up to participate.

Garcia Birthday Band (GBB), based in Portland Oregon, is the Pacific Northwest’s premier Grateful Dead experience! Formed in 1999, GBB is a group of veteran musicians celebrating and interpreting the vast reper- toire of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, and bringing to life the good ole’ vibes that were contagious ‘on tour’ back in the day. But this isn’t a “tribute band”... Drawing on decades of individual and shared experi- ence, GBB crafts and transforms this great music into something fresh and original. Solid chops, tight arrangements and fine harmonies all contribute to the band’s musical travels and explorations of one of the greatest and most diverse songbooks of all time. Prior to Shafty’s first performance at The Goodfoot Lounge in Feb., 2012, Brett McConnell (bass) and Rob Sipsky (guitar) spent more time talking about the possibility of putting a Phish tribute together than actu- ally practicing. Expectations for attendance were moderate, yet before the band played the first note, there was a line out the door -- culminat- ing in a jam filled celebration of the music of Phish! 2013 saw a new lineup, with focused energy on compositions. The songlist has exploded to over 135 (and still growing) and new tunes are always on the way. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Doors open at 8:00 pm and showtime is 9:00. H
