Emerging from Northern California’s fertile music scene, Dead Winter Carpenters are a rollicking, high-energy, roots-bluegrass infused five-piece band from North Lake Tahoe, CA....Cinco de Mayo, and Aubrey's birthday party. This was a really fun time. These guys are getting better and better all the time. They sure sounded great this night!

Kan'Nal Live at Mystic Hot Springs-March 21 2006-Set 2-Full Length

noreply@blogger.com (mysticdave) — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 09:52:00 +0000

This is the second set of an amazing, intimate Kan'Nal show at Mystic Hot Springs on March 21, 2006!
Set list: Dragonfly, All Things Change, Open Channel, Drum Jam, Tera Flow, Sun and Moon, T Rap, Sun and Moon cont., Animal Angel, Holy Ground.

Some history on this amazing, magical band:
Kan'Nal is an authentic Rock & Roll band. Formed through natural evolution across 4 countries, 6 years, and 10's of thousands of miles traveled. The sound is rock & roll infused with a primal tribal core. Tribal Psychedelic Rock.

The core 5 members of Kan'Nal came together over a 2 year period between 2002 - 2004. All were on solo backpacking missions though Mexico and Central America when their paths crossed. First Lead Singer/Songwriter TZOL met TIERRO (lead guitarist) in a small town in Guatemala. Cut off from the outside world, San Marco, Atitlan was the perfect spot for the two to work on their musical direction. The 1st Cd was conceived and later that year delivered in a studio in Toronto Canada.

Tzol and Tierro returned to that same town in Guatemala almost 1 year later to the day and met Rodolfo (BASS) and Teresita (Performance act/vocals) soon to be core members of the growing tribe. Later that year the 4 headed to the states for a small tour and recruited Rodolfo's life time friend Gilly Gonzalez from San Antonio, TX for drums. Aaron Jerad joined up in the Yucatan Mexico as a didgeridoo player/percussionist.

The band was set... Traveling by foot, hitching, car, jeep, van, bus and plane, the group has now played over 500 concerts since their inception. Highlighted by performances in the ancient Mayan city of Tikal in Guatemala, river side in the jungle palace of Palenque Mexico and high profile rock festivals across America including SXSW, High Sierra, Wakarusa, Earthdance, Burning Man and many more.

Their talent, drive and potential was recognized by Colorado producer Dik Darnell (John Denver, Earth, Wind and Fire, Caribou records) in 2005, and his contributions helped push Kan'Nal up to the next level. New CDs were made, and bigger and better tours were taken on. That same year Akayate (performance artist, dancer and costume designer) joined the crew, and the bands stage presence was now at seven performers.

In 2007 the band Kan'Nal had a hungry passionate fan base across 15 states. Over 10,000 CD's sold, a 6000 plus true fan mailing list, and supporters from all walks of life. The group launched a new CD, a DVD, and a summer tour to back both. ALL 100% independent. 100% authentic. 100% true to creativity. 100% passionate for music. 100% passionate for life.

On July 6th, 2009, two open letters from Kan'Nal co-founders Tierro and Tzol (respectively) posted on the band's Tribe.Net sub-page confirmed long-circulating rumors in the neo-tribal community that the band has gone on "indefinite hiatus" to allow members to pursue other artistic and personal endeavors.....They are truly missed, and hopefully fate will bring them together again in the future :)

Here is a band from San Diego that has truly brought back the Classic Rock Sound but with an up to date flavor that taste oh so delicious. By taking elements from many a great band like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Neil Young, ZZ Top, even Sabbath and mixing it with Black Crows and Gavin Degraw they have managed to bring forth a familiar yet fresh sound to a rock sound of yesteryear....check out their site for more music and info: Dirty Sweet Music

Vince Herman from the band Leftover Salmon stopped by with his other band(Great American Taxi) to jam for us....This was a really fun night! They did this old Woody Guthrie tune as the opener. I am still deciding what to put up from this show. I thought I might as well start at the beginning and go from there....The guys found a stash of wardrobe in the back room and came out in costume. It still cracks me up every time I see it... :)

David Gans @ Mystic Hot Springs

noreply@blogger.com (mysticdave) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:20:00 +0000

David Gans may be familiar to some of you as the host of the Grateful Dead Hour,
author of a couple of books on that topic, and producer of several Dead-related
CDs and boxed sets. He is also a musician, with half a dozen CDs in his catalog
and several decades of songwriting and performing under his belt. He graced us with his presence here at Mystic Hot Springs, as he was making his way around the West for a few gigs. He has visited us several times over the years, but i must say, this was one of his best shows yet.... :)

David Gans @ Mystic Hot Springs ~ Who Killed Uncle John?
This is a great new song. I think I know just about everyone he is referring to. It is a good question.... Damn I miss him!

Johnny Downer ~ Free Peoples @ Mystic Hot Springs

Johnny really shines on this number. It is nice to have such a slow intro and middle part to just let the song develop. Thanks eternally.

It is another amazing song from these guys. I will be putting up a few more in memory of Johnny.
