Nashville City Winery was kind enough to host a GD50 show of their own before the main event featuring the New Riders of the Purple Sage.. Before headed up to Chicago to do their “psychedelic last supper” show the New Riders of the Purple Sage played a show in Nashville which featured 3 generations of Grateful Dead influenced musicians.

Early in their first set,  Dave Nelson explained that the current line up of the band, which includes original pedal steel (post Garcia) player Buddy Cage, guitarist Mike Falzarano, bassist Ronnie Penque and Johnny Markowski on drums, is the longest tenured in their 40 plus year history.  Even more remarkable, the band is touring behind its new release 17 Pine Avenue, following 2009’s Where I Come From.
