JEN DURKIN'S STEAL YOUR FUNK

Jen Durkin's Steal Your Funk was born in 2015 when Jen Durkin (Deep Banana Blackout/Mickey Hart-Bill Kreutzman's "Rhythm Devils"), Jordan Giangreco (The Breakfast), and Rob Glassman (RGB) took the concept of mixing funk, motown, disco tunes, basically anything groovin, with the music of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band.

The result has been the production of high energy shows, that always leaves audiences dancing, all night long.

Steal Your Funk also always features a well-known cast of jamband musicians, and have performed multiple gigs with Doug Wimbish of Living Colour, the late Dr Charles Neville, Leo Nocentelli of the Meters, Sam Kininger of Soulive/Lettuce, Tim Palmieri of Lotus/The Breakfast/Kung Fu, as well as Adrian Tramontano of Twiddle/Marble Eyes/Kung Fu/The Breakfast, and Chris DeAngelis of The Machine/Breakfast/Kung Fu.

If you are not familiar with Jen "Pipes" Durkin, she was front woman for Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart and Billy Kreutzman"s band, "The Rhythm Devils," after Jerry Garcia passed. The band also featured Mike Gordon (Phish) and Steve Kimock, on an amazing 30 day “Super Group” tour, debuting new songs written by Robert Hunter. In the Summer of 2008, “Pipes” kept on touring in the Mickey Hart Band, with master of funk George Porter, Jr, Walfredo Reyes Jr, and Kyle Hollingsworth.

Jenny "Pipes" is also well known for her popular band's of the 90s, which included "The Bomb Squad, and Deep Banana Blackout." Jen and Deep Banana Blackout became a regular act at the Gathering of the Vibes.

Steal You Funk shows consist of just about anything swinging and swaying. Their performances create a unique interactive vibe with the audience, where the groove is always on high with Jen Durkin's Steal Your Funk, and always brings along a well-known cast of talented musicians.

THE RED PLANET

The Red Planet does a straight-up, no-nonsense jam that covers a variety of classic tunes from The Dead, Dylan, and The Band to Johnny Cash and other roots-based, country-fied, Americana-type, standards. Their laid-back, sittin’-on-the front porch, let’s-have-fun attitude gives way to tightly worked out performances, rich with interwoven instrumental unity, guitar pyrotechnics, vocal harmony, group dynamics, and flat-out enthusiasm—all delivered with a genuine working-for-the people, non-showbiz kinda presence. It’s hard not to have a good old time, hangin’ out when they do their thing.

Although the Red Planet is often categorized as a Grateful Dead cover band, that’s not really the case. Sure, they do some Dead/Jerry songs, but they don’t necessarily try to sound like the Dead—although sometimes they do end up nailing it.

Deadheads love the band, but they often get people who come up to them after a set and say, “I don’t like the Grateful Dead, but I really like you guys!” The band also does songs by a variety of artists like the Band, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Van Morrison (no, not Brown Eyed Girl), the Beatles, Jimmy Cliff, Irving Berlin (!?), Hank Williams, and many more.

But really, they put their own spin on things. They take the tunes and play them. There are elements of Americana, folk, funk, blues, bluegrass, r&b, and rock, with each band member bringing their own influences to the table.
