Delurking to announce that I'll be playing pedal steel again with the Nevada City-based Deadbeats at Pete's 881 Club in San Rafael on January 25-26 (Friday and Saturday). We played together for the first time a few weeks ago at the Miners' Foundry in Nevada City and pretty much levitated the place.
It's a really fun band. There's a good balance between doing a lot of tunes and stretching solos and vamps. It's such a refreshing change from splitting the one solo and maybe if you're lucky getting a four-bar kickoff. (There is something to be said for that, though. Years of that type of structure made every note that I played really matter!)
As the name may indicate, the Deadbeats do Grateful Dead-style tunes--and quite well, I'd say. It's not only GD tunes, though there will be a bunch. There are other covers and originals that should please you. They certainly please me.
There may be suprpise guests that wouldn't be a surprise if I told you.
Best regards,
Pete Grant

I don't have it at hand, but it's on Lincoln, which parallels the freeway on the west side and it's a little south of the numbered streets. It's in a light industrial area and I think it's not too far from Studio Maintenance Center.
I'll get the address at rehearsal on Wednesday, if not sooner.
Hope to see you there.
Best regards,
Pete

A search of the net brought forth the address:

It's listed in the Polish Darts Association web site, as well as Casino City.

Thanks, Brad!
The club has new owners and they have just started booking bands.
