UPDATE: Due to the natural disaster in Asheville, this event is cancelled.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Asheville Guitar Bar was gutted by the recent devastating floods. Once the long and slow process of recovery begins in our community, I’ll post any and all relevant news about fundraising\/relief efforts. For now, please keep Western NC in your thoughts. If you want to do more, donate to reputable agencies (and — speaking for myself only — preferably non-religious one, please) agencies who are trying to help here.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Grateful Dead cultivated one of the most passionate and dedicated fan bases in all of music. From their start in the Bay Area in the mid 1960s through the group\u2019s farewell in 1995, The Dead made their own brand of distinctive and original music, carving out an entire set of music genres in the process. And the group\u2019s influence endures to this day across the musical landscape. And while commercial success was never part of the goal for the Grateful Dead, their music occasionally crossed over into the pop world. Two albums in particular \u2013 Workingman\u2019s Dead<\/b><\/i> and American Beauty<\/b><\/i>, both released in 1970 \u2013 distilled the Dead\u2019s virtues into the form of tight, concise and catchy songs that earned radio play. One of those songs, \u201cTruckin\u2019\u201d was even a minor hit single. But beyond the hit, those two albums yielded many of the band\u2019s most beloved songs.<\/p>\n

The October installment of the popular Music to Your Ears listening party\/discussion series will explore Workingman\u2019s Dead<\/b><\/i> and American Beauty<\/b><\/i>: what makes those records special, why they remain popular and acclaimed, and why the songs are still part of many artists\u2019 live performances. Series host Bill Kopp will be joined by well-known and popular Western North Carolina musician Spiro Nicolopoulos to lead a discussion about the music. And Spiro \u2013 an acclaimed guitarist and songwriter himself who also leads many Dead-focused musical events \u2013 will sing and play select songs from those albums.<\/p>\n
