Dark Star Orchestra Coming to Indian Ranch, 8/13

By:
Celebrating 70 years, Indian Ranch in Webster, MA announced that Dark Star Orchestra will be performing live in concert on Saturday, August 13th at 2:00 P.M. Tickets go on-sale Friday, March 18th at 10:00 A.M.

For over 18 years and 2500 shows, Dark Star Orchestra has embodied the Grateful Dead's live experience for fans both old and too young to have ever seen their own Grateful Dead show.

Recreating historic Grateful Dead set lists, and intermittently crafting their own, Dark Star Orchestra offers a continually evolving artistic outlet within the Grateful Dead's musical canon. Matching equipment, stage layout and even members (various eras could include female vocals or multiple drummers), Dark Star Orchestra's determined commitment to 'raising the Dead' has earned them high praise.

While recreating set lists song for song, Dark Star Orchestra does not try to match Grateful Dead songs note for note. Anything so formulaic would be of a great disservice to the free spirit of The Dead's live performances.

Indian Ranch offers music lovers a chance to see some of the greatest country, classic rock and pop bands steps from Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. Nestled between pine trees, the amphitheater offers the ability to see the stage from anywhere in the audience. Tickets are already on sale for The Mavericks on June 25, Josh Turner on June 26, The Beach Boys on July 10, Blues Traveler on July 17, George Thorogood and The Destroyers on July 31, WAR on August 6, and Trace Adkins on September 25th. Additional shows for the 2016 season will be announced soon.

Tickets for Dark Star Orchestra at Indian Ranch on Saturday, August 13th go on-sale Friday, March 18th at 10:00 A.M. Gates open at noon; ShowTime is 2:00 P.M. Tickets are available online at www.IndianRanch.com, by calling 1-800-514-ETIX (3849) or at the Indian Ranch Box Office. The Indian Ranch Box Office is currently open Wednesday's and Saturday's from 10:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M. All events are rain or shine. No refunds.
