The Dead Strings Trio is a new offshoot of The Barsters with myself on acoustic guitar/vocals, Rob Mangum on fiddle/vocals and James Johnson on mandolin/harmonica/vocals. This super fun band plays an acoustic mix of 1960s/70s rock’n’roll songs including lots of Grateful Dead, The Beatles, The Band, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Little Feat, CCR, Rolling Stones, Neil Young and a bunch of hippy bluegrass standards (old and in the way!). Sometimes we are lucky to be joined by either Kevin Kehrberg or Travis Stuart on bass.
