About this event

Known for his folk storytelling and improvisational style, Gans combines original material with interpretations of other composers' works.

With a full bar and free parking, it's an accessible and enjoyable night out for all ages.

From the organizer

David Gans—musician, author, and host of the Grateful Dead Hour—brings folk storytelling, sharp wit, and Deadhead spirit to the stage. David Gans and the Broken Angels began in 1997 as a weekly jam in Berkeley, California. Gans assembled a different lineup of Dead-lovin’ players every week for a set of live music followed by a DJ set by “Dark Star Dan” McGonagle. The weekly gig lasted through most of 1997 and led to performances in many other venues. Guests included Vince Welnick, Bob Bralove, Henry Kaiser, and other luminaries. Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh joined the Broken Angels for a few benefit shows in the fall and winter of 1997-1998, after which he started doing a similar thing on a national scale as Phil Lesh and Friends.  For this June tour in the midwest, David will be joined by Chicago favorites Joe Day (keyboards and vocals), Janis Wallin (bass), and Brett Baxter (drums). “I met Joe and Janis in the summer of 2018 and we had a great time playing together,” Gans recalls. “We played as the Broken Angels at Garcia’s in Chicago last fall, and we’ve been invited back this summer."
