Having originally featured most of the members of the Grateful Dead, The New Riders of the Purple Sage still brings honor to psychedelic country/rock, a genre they helped create. Anyone who enjoyed the Grateful Dead's Workingman's Dead or American Beauty and wanted more, then or now, this show is for you. Plus, who wouldn't want to hear the Riders' reefer-themed hit "Panama Red"? For a reminder of the iconic sound and song, watch here. Then buy a ticket to see them at Fairfield Theatre Company on Sunday night, December 28th on StageOne down on Sanford Street.
Keeping the dream live, the New Riders have just released a brand new studio album, 17 Pine Avenue, that features twelve new songs, seven of which were written by David Nelson and Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter -- including "Prisoner of Freedom," "Fivio" and "Suite at the Mission." The NRPS renaissance continues to grow with the release of 17 Pine Avenue. It's psychedelic Americana at its finest.
