About The Event
FREE SHOW presented by Keeper of the Green
710 Ashbury is a 4-piece band from Helena, Montana committed to preserving the legacy of the Grateful Dead. The members of 710 are all long standing musicians in the Helena music scene and all committed to improvisational music. We all know there is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert but we can capture the enthusiasm and spirit…and we’ll keep working on it until we get it just exactly perfect.
On guitar is John Chart. A deadhead since his early teens Chart has been enthralled by Garcia’s style for years. He is forever in search of THAT tone that typifies the Garcia sound.
Eric McEwen is taking over the hot seat at the keys. Eric is a Helena native that has recently returned from a stint on the east coast. Eric is a DeadHead, a masterful keyboard player and well versed in the Jam Band scene. HIs own project, Skyfoot, has released 4 albums and toured extensively throughout New England.
Chris Heisel plays bass. Another of the band members that performs in many groups in town for obvious reasons…the man can play! He loves the challenge of taking on Lesh’s role in these tunes but sorry folks he just won’t play with a pick!
Tim Borsberry is on drums. Tim has played drums around Helena for years. This is his first venture into the Grateful Dead world, but Tim has enthusiastically jumped right into the deep end of the pool. He’s enjoying the music and the challenge of holding down a job normally occupied by 2 drummers.
So if your looking for a Dead tribute band in Montana, think 710 Ashbury...where the Dead Live.
