Terrapin Landing

Phil Lesh posted this on Furthur's forum:

We're taking the first steps to make a long time dream- a permanent musical home- come true. We are purchasing a building in Marin, and plan on remodeling it to feel like an old barn; we're calling it Terrapin Landing. We will continue with Furthur while making music at Terrapin Landing when we are at home.

The music will be varied, featuring:

Phil Lesh & Friends (continuing the tradition of revolving lineups, including old as well as new friends)

West Coast Rambles, based on (and blessed by) Levon Helm's historic Rambles


Album night- we pick a favorite album or two to play live

Telstar night- we put together a band for free form improvisation

Sing-alongs to monthly Sunday morning gospel music

Trivia nights

Monthly big band night

Seminars with local musicians and artists

Our goal is to create a vibrant community gathering place: beautiful, comfortable, welcoming - for members of the community to commingle and enjoy good music.

- Phil Lesh


West Coast rambles?  Album nights?  Count me in.  I've been to Levon Helm's Ramble and it was one of the coolest nights of music I'll ever experience.  Can't imagine a version with music from the Dead.
