Playing relatively small venues around the North Shore of Long Island, such as Theodore's in Oyster Bay and New York Ave in Huntington. For many years, through most of the 1980s into the early 1990s, they were a Saturday night staple at the Right Track Inn in Freeport, Long Island, New York Every Saturday night. The band grew in popularity to become one of the leading Grateful Dead cover bands in the New York metro area. In time they found themselves playing New York City clubs such as the Wetlands, a club dedicated to the jam band genre. In the early 1990s the band increased the range of their touring to locations from Maine to North Carolina. Their popularity increased following the death of Jerry Garcia, when a broader audience saw the band and attended Dead themed festivals like the Gathering of the Vibes. == Discography ==
