Ratdog rolls out fall dates
Bob Weir's Ratdog will be back on the road this fall for a tour along the East Coast.
The jam band will start Oct. 26-27 with a two-night stand in Hampton Beach, NH, and then make its way down the coast, ending with several mid-November gigs in Florida.
Late last month, Ratdog wrapped its US summer outing, which saw the band pair with Keller Williams in July and The Allman Brothers Band in August. Ratdog had to press on without guitarist Mark Karan, who is undergoing treatment for throat cancer. Steve Kimock has been filling in.
The summer tour spawned more music for Ratdog's live CD series, which began in 2003. Live recordings from all of the band's shows are made available for purchase in CD and download formats.
Each show is mixed by Ratdog's sound engineer, Michael McGinn, and recorded and mastered by archivist Peter Ammerall using a modified soundboard matrix technique. CDs are shipped within a week of each performance. More information is available at the Munck Music website, where the CDs/downloads are sold.
Ratdog hasn't released a studio album since 2000's "Evening Moods." That was followed a year later by the double-CD "Live at Roseland."
The band, co-founded by former Grateful Dead guitarist Weir in the mid-'90s, performs a large repertoire of songs including Dead tunes, covers and originals.
