STELLA BLUE - Bob Dylan

Once in a while, you get shown the light
in the strangest of places if you look at it right

Sunday, March 19 is the 100^th show Phil Lesh has played at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York.

Clare Maloney & The Great Adventure is playing a Phil Lesh & Friends pre-show next door at Garcia´s, and all concert ticket holders get free admission to this show.

I spoke with Clare after a show with The Airplane Family at The Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, California. Her talent is astounding as a musician playing guitar in a band, and a premier vocalist with deep operatic training, and her golden voice is present through songs that move the spirit.

A touch of Hot Tuna, “Hesitation Blues” helps me understand what is going on. Her vocals on “Blows Against The Empire” are deep and mesmerizing. “Paul Kantner and David Crosby are here tonight very strong in the spirit.” I tell her, and she agrees with me, smiling. I share that I met Paul Kantner at an acupuncture clinic with Dr. Ron in San Francisco.

Her rendition of “Sunrise” is pitch perfect.

Clare Maloney was an international opera star before she became a rocker.

During the pandemic, Clare wrote over a hundred songs and it reminds me of the time Robert Hunter went on the road with The Grateful Dead and wrote a song with a hundred verses, “Truckin´”. The Grateful Dead recorded the first five verses.

I tell Clare that Jerry Garcia is here tonight. “Yes, he is!” she says.

Clare Maloney & The Great Adventure have a new album out called “DAYBREAKER”. Check out “Legend Lives On” and “Dream Within A Dream” and “Song To The Moon”.

I tell her that she sounds just like Grace Slick. She personifies, amplifies and emanates her vocally. “White Rabbit” is maravilloso.
