ABOUT:
Led by acclaimed guitarist-singer Stu Allen (of Phil Lesh & Friends, Melvin Seals & JGB) on guitar, a revolving cast of incredibly talented musicians inhabits Mars Hotel, drawing from the Grateful Dead's vast catalog to delight Deadheads and music fans of all generations. A Mars Hotel show is always an energetic evening of good vibes, good music, and good community.
When it became apparent that Jerry Garcia had played his final show in 1995, Stu Allen began working to keep Garcia's music, sound, and spirit alive in the concert setting. He regularly worked with Phil Lesh, and has also done sets with Bob Weir, and Bill Kreutzmann. Allen first gained notoriety in the scene fronting Melvin Seals' tribute to the Jerry Garcia Band from 2004 to 2011. In 2010, he received more national acclaim when he toured with Dark Star Orchestra.
Allen shares the Grateful Dead's commitment to making each performance a unique event, from preparation to execution. He will perform multiple shows before playing the same song twice, and even then, that song will not be realized in quite the same way.
Mars Hotel takes this idea a step further by presenting a new band at each performance. Drawing from the rich music scene of the bay area, Allen has assembled a broad and ever-rotating cast of musicians that bring new ears and hands into the melting pot. Fans are ever eager to hear what different combos will result.
Mars Hotel speaks to Deadheads in language they understand and is accesible to the GD novice - good music is good music.
