Wake the Dead Gigs

With just Danny Carnahan, Paul Kotapish, Sylvia Herold, and Valerie Price performing this show, the Wake the Dead Quartet gets you in the St. Patrick's Day spirit! Norm's Place is a hometown gathering spot filled with memorabilia from years of racing and hot rodding.  Better still, there's no door charge, so get there early and...

Our triumphant return to the Santa Cruz area, among our favorite haunts in the world, after a way-too-long COVID hiatus. New band lineup and plenty of new songs for our beloved fans. Wear your dancing shoes!

A full day of participatory musical fun with Wake the Dead hitting the stage in the evening for a concert/dance set. We'll be co-starring with the amazing Balkan band Fanfare Zambaletta and the day will be filled with sessions, workshops, song circles, dance classes and more... a sweet taste of the legendary Mendocino Lark Camp...

A lovely afternoon outdoor concert.   Details to come soon!

The festival runs all weekend, Friday through Sunday, with many fabulous acts on multiple stages in one of the coolest settings ever for a music festival!

St. Columba's is a lovely, out-of-the-way venue in West Marin, and WTD will be playing there for the first time this summer.  Complete details will be available soon.
