Matt Turk and C Lanzbom joined forces to form Deadgrass, a string band jamgrass adventure through Jerry Garcia’s musical world. Bassist Dave Richards, banjo player Kris Bauman and fiddler Kensuke Shoji complete this fine group of seasoned pros exploring the life works of Jerry Garcia on the instruments that first inspired him. Deadgrass celebrates and interprets the music of Jerry Garcia, drawing from Old &amp; in the Way, JGB, Jerry’s Jug Band days and Grateful Dead.
A little more about the band: each member brings a deep well of experience across folk, jazz, rock, and roots traditions, creating a rich, improvisational sound that honors Garcia’s spirit while making it their own.
Matt Turk has performed and recorded with legends including Pete Seeger and Mickey Hart, bringing decades of festival and stage experience. Grammy-winning guitarist C Lanzbom has collaborated with icons like Bruce Springsteen and runs his own state-of-the-art recording studio. Dave Richards has played bass on Broadway’s Hamilton and performed with artists like Rosanne Cash. Kris Bauman is a genre-crossing multi-instrumentalist featured on NPR’s Studio 360 and active across jazz, bluegrass, and beyond. Kensuke Shoji, originally from Japan, trained at Berklee and brings a blend of bluegrass roots and jazz violin to the band.

Catherine Miles and Jay Mafale — husband and wife, co-conspirators, storytellers. They are modern folk with a sprinkling of pop-catchiness and theatrical flair. Catherine’s voice is an expressive powerhouse. Jay’s guitar is distinctive and unconventional. Candid and playful onstage, they are known for the plainspoken poetry, clever humor, and unique perspectives of their songs which seek to shift points of view through themes of perseverance and hope. And yes, sometimes they throw in a villain just for fun.
Miles &amp; Mafale’s songwriting has earned them acclaim in venerable listening rooms and festivals nationwide, and recognition as Most Wanted Emerging Artists at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and three-time Kerrville New Folk finalists.2020 South Florida Folk Festival Songwriters’ Competition winner Karyn Oliver brings a voice that moves effortlessly between blues, country, and folk, blending soulful grit with lyrical warmth. Often compared to artists like Joan Osborne, Janis Joplin, and Emmylou Harris, Oliver’s sound carries both emotional depth and musical versatility, shaped by the eclectic musical landscape she grew up with in Washington, D.C.
A two-time Kerrville New Folk Finalist, Oliver has built a reputation for thoughtful songwriting and compelling live performances. Her songs explore love, resilience, and the winding paths people take to find themselves again, delivered with vivid storytelling and a voice that can shift from tender to powerful in an instant.
Her recordings have charted on folk and americana radio, and her recent work highlights collaborations with outstanding women musicians in the roots music community. Whether performing solo or with a band, Oliver brings warmth, authenticity, and a deep respect for the craft of songwriting to every stage.
