Anxiously awaiting news about Summer tours and Festivals…

…and here is a big surprise! While Furthur was a headliner at the All Good Music Festival for the last two years, they will not be there in 2012.   Bob Weir will be performing with Bruce Hornsby and Branford Marsalis (does this imply a tour for Bruce and Bob?)  and Phil Lesh and Friends will also be at this years festival (and, does this imply a tour for Phil and Friends?).  Phil’s Friends line-up has not been announced, but expect something stellar!

And… the Mickey Hart band will also be at All Good Music Festival 2012.

Plus, The Allman Brothers Band, Railroad Earth, and many more.   Not all artists are even announced yet, and the festival lineup is incredible.  Looks like it really is ALL GOOD!
The Festival will be held July 19-22 at Legend Valley Concert Venue & Campground – the location formerly known as Buckeye Lake Music Center.

Only one man who can play keyboards for both RatDog and Phil Lesh and Friends, as well as Furthur, and  (when/if they play again) The Dead.  Jeff Chimenti is that man.  Jeff shreds!
