News: Americana Music Association and Relix Magazine to Honor Jerry Garcia

BMNN wrote: on Sep. 16, 2008:


The Americana Music Association is proud to announce plans to celebrate the legacy of the Grateful Dead at this week’s ninth annual conference and music festival in Nashville. At Thursday night’s Honors & Awards at the Ryman Auditorium, Jerry Garcia will be named the recipient of the 2008 AMA President’s Award, a posthumous lifetime achievement recognition for innovation in American roots music. Following the awards, the AMA and Relix magazine co-host a huge tribute show with San Francisco’s The Waybacks and The American Beauty Project, featuring Ollabelle, Jim Lauderdale, Larry Campbell, Buddy Miller and several surprise guests.


AMA President Jessie Scott of Sirius XM Satellite Radio selected Garcia for this year’s award based on his many contributions to Americana music, as part of the Grateful Dead and as a collaborator in acoustic music. “Jerry Garcia championed the roots,” Scott says. “From the Americana infused Dead albums to his collaborations with David Grisman, his love for the archetypes of American music shines through.”

Relix magazine will sponsor the musical tribute to the Dead beginning at 10 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18 at the Cannery Ballroom, immediately following the Americana Honors & Awards. The Waybacks will kick off the evening. This Bay Area quartet has enjoyed fruitful on-stage collaborations with Dead founder Bob Weir over the last couple of years, and they’ll bring that spirit, and a very special guest, to their acoustic/electric music rooted in country and blues.

Next up, the American Beauty Project is a collective of remarkable artists who have gathered on several occasions to cover the historic albums the Grateful Dead released in 1970: American Beauty and Workingman’s Dead. They’ve earned praise in the New York Times, Variety and Relix magazine as a true re-imagining of grounbreaking songs that were meant to be interpreted and shared. The musicians include the passionate folk group Ollabelle, legendary multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell, star Nashville songwriter Jim Lauderdale and delicious singers Catherine Russell and Teresa Williams. Awards show band leader and Americana superstar Buddy Miller will be there, plus special guests you won’t want to miss.

Slated for September 17-20, 2008, the 9th Annual Americana Festival and Conference will offer seminars, panels and networking opportunities at the Nashville Convention Center by day, while each evening brings stacked Americana showcases. Legend Levon Helm will officially jump start the festivities Wednesday, September 17 with his Ramble at the Ryman, and the capstone of the festival will take the form of the annual Americana Music Association Honors and Awards, scheduled for September 18 at the historic Ryman Auditorium.

Conference registrations cost $450 (Members) and $550 (non Members) and can be purchased at the Americana Registration Desk in the Nashville Convention Center starting on Wednesday September 17 at 3PM.

Tickets are now available for the Levon Helm Ramble at the Ryman and the Americana Honors & Awards show at Ticketmaster and the Ryman box office for $65 or $45 and $45, respectively.

For the latest additions to showcase lineups, ticket purchasing and more information about the Americana Music Festival and Conference, please visit www.americanamusic.org.

Ratdog delivers freewheelin’ show

By Christopher Blagg / Music Review
Thursday, July 12, 2007 - Updated: 04:20 AM EST

No, Bob Dylan didn’t make a surprise appearance at the Bank of America Pavilion Tuesday night. Confusion is understandable considering a good third of Ratdog’s set highlighted tunes by the legendary songwriter. For at least one night, Bob Weir’s post-Grateful Dead project transformed into the Bob Dylan Rolling Revue.
Dylan covers aren’t new for Ratdog, but on this night Weir, who once again sported his Wild West handlebar moustache/ beard, must have been feeling particularly keen on Mr. Zimmerman. After opening with Weir’s own “Feel Like a Stranger” and the jug band stomp of “New Minglewood Blues,” Weir ambled into Dylan’s sweet midtempo ballad “She Belongs to Me.” You just don’t hear jam bands or any kind of improvisatory rock bands play ballads anymore.



It was also nice to see Weir unafraid of tackling tunes historically associated with his old running buddy, ripping into Jerry Garcia’s moaning blues tune “Loser” and the Stax-styled soul workout “Loose Lucy.” The latter mobilized the devoted crowd packing the Pavilion into fits , stoking the fires of nostalgia for the graying Deadheads swarming the floor.
The Dylan tribute kicked into high gear halfway through the show, with Weir strapping on an acoustic guitar for a rousing interpretation of “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.” Opening act Keller Williams then joined the band to trade verse with Weir on the back-porch bump and shout of Dylan’s classic “Quinn the Eskimo.” The centerpiece of the set also featured Dylan, with the rock ’n’ soul boogie of “Silvio’ providing ample space for Weir and his cohorts to stretch out and do what jam bands do best.
Despite all the Dylan worship, the night’s highlight found Ratdog in Crescent City mode, with the New Orleans street beat of “Iko Iko” eliciting rabid call-and-response participation from the crowd.
Though billed as an opening act, Williams played the part of co-headliner, as his “opening” set lasted more than 90 minutes. Williams did his usual goofy humor, frenzied guitar looping shtick for the crowd, but after a while all the tricks and toys began to get show-offy and tiresome. There’s a reason why Weir is still playing to thousands of people well into his 60s. It’s called melody, and if Williams wants to play until his Social Security checks start coming in, he’d better learn to write one.
