Anyone who knows me understands my 40-year passion for the Grateful Dead. In fact, my desire to work in the music industry was born from this band and the scene that evolved around it. So it with the greatest personal pleasure to present this amazing pair of guests on our platform.
David Gans is a professional musician and music journalist. He’s well known and respected as an expert on the history of the Grateful Dead, as he’s published several books on the band and its impact on the music industry. He’s also the host of the weekly syndicated radio show The Grateful Dead Hour. He also co-hosts a radio show on Sirius XM’s The Grateful Dead Channel called Tales from the Golden Road, a call-in show about the band.
Blair Jackson covered the Grateful Dead for more than 25 years and is the author of several books, including Garcia: An American Life, Grateful Dead Gear: The Band’s Instruments, Sound Systems, and Recording Sessions from 1965 to 1995, and Grateful Dead: The Music Never Stopped.
Culminating their 40+ year friendship, David and Blair co-wrote one of the best books ever about the band- This Is All a Dream We Dreamed: An Oral History of the Grateful Dead.
Just imagine the stories they will share with us as our guests on The Smartest People In The Room on Tuesday, February 9 at 2:00 pm ET/11:00 am PT.
