Golden Gate Wingmen
After the surprise announcement of the end of Furthur, fans of improvisational jam music have been left to wonder what is next. Within days, the answer was evident, Golden Gate Wingmen.The Golden Gate Wingmen is a band formed in concept through casual conversation by the musicians recognizing that everyone was available the night that Kadlecik had booked for the first night of his electro-coustic solo tour. In actuality, it was formed on stage during sound check, as this particular group of guys had never played together before in this lineup.The band contains members of the highest quality, and from the first show, were performing original material (mostly songs from John Kadlecik's first album released under his own name.) The band premiered to a sold out audience on November 5 2014 at Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael CA. Fans can expect both boundary thrashing original music, and material from the song book that they love, forged in an altogether new cauldron, the results of which will be unique to each night's performance.
Featuring...
John Kadlecik (of Furthur, DSO, Phil & Friends)
On the heels of an extensive tour with the John Kadlecik Band in November and December, John Kadlecik comes home to Martyrs' on a Tuesday night. Those shows will feature Kadlecik in his solo 'Acousti'Lectric' format in which he plays and sings unaccompanied, but utilizes an electric guitar synthesizer to produce a myriad of guitar and keyboard sounds. Fans will remember this format from last November when Kadlecik toured the West. While Kadlecik will play from the songbook fans have come to expect, there will also be original material and non traditional covers within the sets.
