Dark Star Orchestra wrapped up their fall tour earlier this month in Milwaukee, and have a second leg of dates ahead of them to close 2017. Today, the Grateful Dead-inspired ensemble announce a winter tour that will keep them on the road for most of the month of February. The winter tour will kick off February 8 in Seattle followed immediately by a pair in Portland, February 9-10. Catch DSO in Eugene and Ashland, OR before they make for the Golden State in Paradise on Valentine’s Day. They’ll return to San Francisco for a duo on February 16-17, then head over to their annual stop in Lake Tahoe on February 18. A SO-CAL and Vegas swing will wrap everything up when they take on Anaheim, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles before coming to a close in San Diego on February 24.
The band is preparing to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first-ever DSO show 11/11/97 when they show up in Albany, NY at the Palace Theater for what is expected to be a very special night. The remaining fall tour will bring the band throughout the Northeast while heading to NJ and Philadelphia for a four-show NYE run. 2018’s first performances are beachside in Runaway Bay, Jamaica within the Jam in the Sand VI Festival featuring four nights of Dark Star Orchestra along with three sets by DSO friends Hot Tuna, and three foot-stomping sets by the Rumpke Mountain Boys, all within the all-inclusive Jewel Paradise Cove Resort.
