Bill Kreutzmann & TryptoBand Detail December 2 Show

Earlier this week, Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann advised Bay Area Deadheads to save the date of December 2, aka this coming Tuesday. Now we know why as Kreutzmann has revealed he’ll perform with David Nelson, Barry Sless, Reed Mathis and Jason Crosby at Zodiac’s in Petaluma, California.

The band will perform under the moniker Bill Kreutzmann’s TryptoBand. Tickets are available now via the venue’s website. Another new band Kreutzmann put together, Billy And The Kids, will make their debut later in December at Christmas Jam. Here’s the text of Billy’s announcement of Tuesday’s show:

I woke up this morning after Thanksgiving, feeling thankful and Grateful, and now that the tryptophan is wearing off, I’m in the mood for a good ole’ fashioned holiday ball and dance.

So come one, come all to Zodiacs in Petaluma, CA this Tuesday for my special gathering of friends David Nelson, Barry Sless, Reed Mathis and Jason Crosby. They will join me in Bill Kreutzmann’s TryptoBand for a night of revelry, music and memories.

This is an intimate show, so only a limited tickets are on sale. But they’re on sale now (until they’re not).

Bill Kreutzmann will release his new autobiography, Deal: My Three Decades of Drumming, Dreams and Drugs with The Grateful Dead, on May 5. The book, which was written with Benjy Eisen, is currently available for pre-order via Dead.net.
