Small Craft Warning is a New York City-based "Dead-style" jam band, but they are not a cover band. They have developed an original repertoire of jam tunes which draw their inspiration from Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead - mixed with a dash of their own unique medicine, of course. The fact is that there are precious few original Dead-style jam bands out there (go ahead, name three that really fit this description). There are many Dead cover bands, and a whole generation of "groove/electronica" jam bands. BUT, there are few bands that have really pursued the Grateful Dead's twin aims of crafting thoughtful, timeless songs while simultaneously creating in-the-moment, mind-bending improvisational music. Small Craft Warning is the needle in the haystack! They aspire to advance the Grateful Dead's core thread, and their original jam tunes accomplish that in spades. www.facebook.com/smcrft www.reverbnation.com/smallcraftwarning Download shows at: http://www.archive.org/details/SmallCraftWarning
