DETROIT LIGHTNING

Ben Wright (guitar), Paul Feathericci (drums), Josh Martin (bass) and Kevin Zoernig (keys) have become beloved among New Mexico music fans for rendering classic covers with spectacular playing and a signature sound.

This psychedelic supergroup of somewhat latent Dead fanaticism was born out of a nostalgic whim and has proven to be not only an accurate, heartfelt tribute to the legendary band, but a new telling of the Grateful Dead story complete with three part harmony vocals, elongated and far-reaching improvisatory sections, contrapuntal melodic voices and solid rhythmic structure.

Detroit Lightning gives the audience a genuine Grateful Dead experience while presenting familiar tunes in a fresh way, unique to these four talented musicians and their diverse backgrounds.
