The time has come! To announce the very special guest star we will have joining us at this years Strawberry Moon Garden Party ! In collaboration with our dear friend & advocate Greg Martens, Founder of Go Big For Hunger and in partnership with his new project Hall of Fans (which provides a Fan Group focused social media platform and online museum with next generation features to share, archive, monetize and celebrate people’s passion, creativity, and live music adventures with their communities) we are honored to share with you that none other than the one and only Tom Constanten will be joining us at this years music festival! Tom, lovingly known to his family, friends and fans as TC, is the last living original keyboardist of the Grateful Dead. He is Rock -n- Roll Royalty! At 81 years young, he is still touring and performing all over the world and we are so grateful to have him flying in from San Francisco just for our event next month!
Tom Constanten was a full-time member of the Grateful Dead from 1968-1970. He was the music school classmate of Dead bassist Phil Lesh, TC contributed to the albums Anthem of the Sun, Aoxomoxoa, and Live/Dead, and appears on more than a dozen archival releases so far.
When you hear Dark Star, that is TC He brings something to the table that allowed “Dark Star” to become “Dark Star.”
His work is just absolutely unique. We don't think there's anybody that composes work quite like him.
He will be playing at The Strawberry Moon Garden Party in Harpswell, Maine on:
Friday June 13 doing an intimate solo performance as well as sitting in with our headliners that night, Liz Bills & The Change!
Saturday June 14 as a trio with Kevin Roper & Sarah Johnson, lead singer of The Crowded Table (our Saturday night headliners!) as well as sitting in with the band when they go on that night also!
And on Sunday June 15, TC & Friends will join us as he performs throughout the day with Sam Pallazolla (Lead Guitarist of Lense & Kicked Off The Bus Band) Kevin Roper (of Rose Alley) Darby Sabin, Chris Dow (Drummer of A Band Beyond Description, Justin Maxwell, Stephen Chipman of Frank Burns Band and owner of The Chipman Homestead, where the Garden Party takes place!
Later that night he’ll sit in with headliners Wolfman Jack for a show that is sure to bring the weekend to a close that will leave you longing for more and with memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
This is your chance to see a music legend, up close and personal in an intimate setting that only 250 tickets will be sold for. So get your tickets today! This show will sell out!
