The Regis College Fine Arts Center is presenting Fennario, a Grateful Dead Tribute Band on March 15. Also, opening for Fennario is “Byrne’s Big Suit”, tribute band for Talking Heads.
Fennario is a Massachusetts based Grateful Dead tribute band that recreates the music, sounds and jams of the Grateful Dead through their live music. They have meticulously researched and duplicated both the music as well as the custom equipment that gave the Dead their individual sound and dynamics. They have also captured the essence, in art and science, of the Dead’s improvisational jam style that keeps the fans coming back show after show. Fennario is made up of 6 seasoned veterans of the local and national Grateful Dead music scene that will make you shake yer bones!
Byrne's Big Suit is a Talking Heads tribute band based in Worcester MA. Formed in early 2012 as a way for a group of local musicians who were die hard Talking Heads fans to pay tribute to the songs they loved. The band was booked to play at a local music festival dubbed "Tributefest" and was an instant hit, more shows followed and the band never looked back. The band prides themselves on bringing the full experience of a live Talking Heads show to each venue they visit. Paying close attention to detail, the band performs the music with all the energy and enthusiasm that made a Talking Heads show such an experience, while still allowing space for there own musical experiments and styles to shine through.
