Dark Star Orchestra

on the Stone Pony Summer Stage

Performing to critical acclaim for more than 20 years and 3000 shows, Dark Star Orchestra
continues the Grateful Dead live concert experience. Their shows are built off the Dead’s
extensive catalog and the talent of these seven fine musicians. On any given night, the band will
perform a show based on a set list from the Grateful Dead’s 30 years of extensive touring or use
their catalog to program a unique set list for the show. This allows fans both young and old to
share in the experience. By recreating set lists from the past, and by developing their own sets
of Dead songs, Dark Star Orchestra offers a continually evolving artistic outlet within this
musical canon. Honoring both the band and the fans, Dark Star Orchestra’s members seek out
the unique style and sound of each era while simultaneously offering their own informed
improvisations.
