Mickey Hart |
Returning to Asheville, North Carolina’s famous musical
venue and social club, The Orange Peel, was one of the founding percussionists
of the Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart. The
heavy rhythm and percussion oriented Mickey Hart Band came through in a rolling
thunder, playing to a packed out club with Deadheads from all over and of all
ages. The current lineup for the Mickey
Hart Band is Mickey on percussion, Crystal Monee Hall on vocals, Joe Bagale on
guitar and keys, Reed Mathis on bass guitar, Gawain Matthews on guitar, Sikiru
Adepolu on the talking drum and other percussion, Greg Schutte on Drums and
Jonah Sharp on keys. Mickey Hart has
spent much of his life studying music from all over the world, and it shows in
his versatile range of skills in different types off percussion including
djembes of all sizes, cowbells, and digital drum machines.
