DOOBIE DECIBEL SYSTEM:

Jason Crosby and Roger McNamee formed a duo called “Doobie Decibel System” (DDS). As the Dewey Decimal System organizes library materials by discipline or field of study, the Doobie Decibel System throws its diverse musical talents together to create riffs and songs that cross genre and generation.

On any given night, Doobie Decibel System play their original songs, such as “Backlash” and “Wrong Side of The Road” by Crosby and “Live A Little” and “Couple of Puffs” by McNamee, and dip into rock ‘n’ roll archives playing a variety of classics from The Beatles, Pink Floyd and The Grateful Dead. The duo’s distinctive style is heard in every song while they continue to surprise the audience by playing improvisations and creating a unique sound that encapsulates their talents and energy.

Over the last decade, Jason Crosby has been a member of Robert Randolph and the Family Band and the Susan Tedeschi Band, among others. In recent years, Crosby has played with Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Carlos Santana, Pete Seeger, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen and Dave Matthews in various configurations. His discography includes appearing on Anastasia’s multi-platinum hit “Freak of Nature” as well as Tedeschi’s Grammy-nominated “Wait for Me”; and more recent releases from Phillip Phillips, Pretty Lights, Robert Randolph, and Teddy Thompson.

Roger McNamee is lead vocalist and plays bass and guitar with Moonalice, performing 90-100 shows a year. Moonalice has leveraged technology to help build a national audience.

Greg Anton Greg is a 25-year veteran of the Bay Area music scene and was one of the founding members of the “Heart of Gold Band”, along with Keith and Donna Godchaux. After the band’s breakup, he and “Heart of Gold” guitarist Steve Kimmock went on to form “Zero” which performed over 1300 concerts and recorded eight albums. More recently, Greg started the band, Greg’s Eggs, “dynamic improvisational rock with soaring melodies, new Robert Hunter lyrics, and tons of drums”. “The best band I’ve seen in ten years”; writes Dennis McNally, author and publicist for the Grateful Dead. Greg is also a member of “The Mix” with Melvin Seals, Jeff Pevar, and John Kadlecik and Kevin Rosen of the “Dark Star Orchestra”.

Greg has composed soundtracks for plays, film and TV; published over fifty original songs, and played drums on more than twenty-five albums. Joel Selvin of the San Francisco Chronicle writes; “A musical drummer with powerful dynamics that puts down a beat that is the heart of the band. gregantonmusic.com

Face the Music: San Francisco, 1975. Woody, an artistically brilliant, socially inept street musician, is just getting by. Inspired by Stephanie, the love of his life, he writes an amazing song that could launch his musical career. Then an unexpected betrayal leaves him fighting for his relationship and his future.

Hopelessly disorganized, armed with only his guitar and unique sense of humor, Woody tries to persevere against the inequities of the music business. Passion, desperation and intense idealism propel him head-on into the challenges of surviving as an uncompromising artist.

“Greg exposes the insularity of the pop-music business with stunning veracity. . .an insider’s look at its highs, lows, and a whiff of the steaming guts, delivered with style and verve. . .not incidentally featuring an unforgettable leading lady. Good shit!” – Robert Hunter
