Salinas, CA (1888PressRelease) February 23, 2012 - The Turf Club Music Series continues on St. Patrick's Day, Saturday, March 17th, at the Monterey County Fairgrounds, as an on-going benefit for the Monterey County Fair Heritage Foundation (a 501c3 non-profit organization).

The St. Patrick's Day Celebration will feature live music with WAKE THE DEAD, the world's only Celtic all-Star Grateful Dead Jam Band. With 11 years of solid success and ever-wider touring, the World's First Celtic All-Star Grateful Dead Jam Band has grown to embrace the entire Summer of Love. The way this hot acoustic Bay Area septet blends Celtic traditional tunes and the songs of the Dead, the Airplane, Dylan, and the Youngbloods, and more is delighting Deadheads, Celtoids, rockers, and folkies alike. It's so appropriate that they will be performing at the Turf Club, as the Summer of Love was celebrated at the Monterey Pop Festival at the Monterey County Fairgrounds including a performance by the Grateful Dead! When eight top Bay Area musicians realized they shared as deep a love for the songs of the Grateful Dead as they did for traditional Celtic tunes, some brand-new music sprang up and started partying. WAKE THE DEAD (www.wakethedead.org) is a Celtic romp that flows seamlessly from rock grooves to hot Irish reels, and from haunting airs to achingly beautiful melodies familiar to Deadheads everywhere. "Sugaree" in waltz time, bracketed by an ancient harp tune and infused with a poignant Celtic longing. "Bertha" thundering out of "China Cat" on a mandolin tidal wave. The eerie lilt of the uilleann pipes, giving a glow to "Bird Song" as if it was always meant to be there. Groove jams to keep the tie-dye swirling. Vocal harmonies that float like clouds.
