Dead Man’s Waltz at Hawks & Reed

Dead Man’s Waltz (formerly Steal Your Peach)
Interweaving the classic songs and jams of The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers
Band and The Band, Dead Man’s Waltz (formerly Steal Your Peach) is an all-star
collective from the Northeast festival scene. Dead Man’s Waltz features top-notch
musicianship and offers a refreshing twist to the music of three legendary and iconic
bands. While staying true to the spirit of the music, the band members put their own
dynamic spin on a vast catalog of beloved songs that are now part the new American
song book.
At its core, DMW is a celebration of the long standing tradition of crossover between The
Dead, The Allmans and The Band, culminating with the legendary 1973 Summer Jam
Music Festival in Watkin’s Glenn, NY where the three bands performed together. DMW’s
arrangements are experiments, as they easily flow from the familiar to the obscure,
moving from standards like “Jessica” into Going Down The Road Felling Bad” into “Don’t
Do It” or “Up On Cripple Creek” into “They Love Each Other” into “Midnight Rider”. The
band always keeps it fresh with new and unexpected arrangements and improvisations,
while engaging fans in the free-spirited party and colorful, close-knit community
surrounding their shows.
With 2 drummers, DMW’s line-up mirrors those of both The Dead and The Allmans as
well as later line-ups of The Band. Dead Man’s Waltz features an all star line up of “Rev”
Tor Krautter (Rev Tor Band) on guitar and vocals, Tom Major (Entrain) on drums, Andrew
Costa (Stone Revival Band) on keys, Jeremy Walz (Soul Sky) on guitar and vocals, Jeff
Prescott (Rasinhead) on drums and vocals, and Brian O’Connell (Uncle Sammy, Arukah)
on bass and vocals.
