It was fun so we did it again\, and again\, it was fun AND it sounded pretty good too. So we decided to be a band and ma ke a song list and rehearse and play some gigs. Nothing too ambitious. We weren't planning on playing any Grateful Dead songs but somehow they snu ck into our repertoire anyway. Sneaky bastards. Now we have a couple of ye ars worth of gigs under our belts\, playing songs by Dylan\, The Band\, Al lman Brothers\, Traffic\, The Beatles\, Dr. John\, Tom Petty\, Phish\, Pin k Floyd\, Elvis Costello\, Bruce Cockburn\, and even Grand Master Flash an d Patti Smith. Oh yeah\, and the good ol' Grateful Dead.\n\nDenise Parent (drums\, vocals) plays in so many bands she sometimes has more than one gi g in a single day. She plays drums in her long-standing Hudson Valley base d band\, The Deadbeats. She also plays drums in Brown Eyed Women\, an all female tribute to the Grateful Dead that tours frequently\, attracting wel l-deserved national attention. She fills her "spare time" (haha) playing g uitar in the Deadbeats Duo. Phew! You may ask\, "Where does she find the t ime?" It's a secret. Denise's favorite ice cream is Chocolate Peanut Butte r.\n\nPeter Dougan (guitar\, vocals)\, is the new guy. He's a hell of a gu itar player and great all around musician. He can play just about anything he's asked. LEFT-HANDED!!! FER CHRISSAKE! He plays in a wide range of mus ical projects in and around Woodstock and teaches music at the Woodstock D ay School. He recently stepped out and lead the band on a tune or two. Tha t plus his hot solos and solid rhythm playing is a welcome addition to the band. Peter has declined to share his favorite flavor of ice cream.\n\nJa mie Flynn (guitar\, vocals) is one of the great old school tie-dye artists in the Hudson Valley. He's dyed several thousand shirts for the Grateful Dead over the last 30 years. His work can been seen on thousands of t-shir ts at practically every concert or music festival in the country. He also plays a helluva guitar in a country band\, The Lost Cowboys\, which interf eres with his much more important MMR responsibilities\, but we love him a nyway. Jamie's favorite ice cream is French Vanilla.\n\nMike DuBois (drums \, harmonica) never stops moving. Busy busy busy. As one of the preeminent artists in the concert poster and psychedelic art scene\, he's either mak ing incredible art or running his busy store in Woodstock\, Happylife Prod uctions. Stuffed to the gills with Mike's art\, other artist's work in fra mes\, on t-shirts and stickers\, Happylife is a hub of culture and creativ ity in a town world renown for art and music. He also plays drums very wel l. They say he can sing too but we've never heard it. Mike's favorite ice cream might be Vanilla Swiss Almond. Or perhaps chocolate. Homemade Peach on Cape Cod is in the running.\n\nKenny Schneidman (keys\, vocals) started playing the music of the Grateful Dead in the 70s in bands like The Lost Highway Ramblers (no relation)\, long before there was a Dead cover band i n every town. He once played acoustic guitar in a band called Mark Twang a nd keyboards in a new wave band called The Feds\, and has been involved in numerous musical projects his entire life. He also operates a busy graphi c design studio and is co-owner of the legendary Arrowhead Ranch in Parksv ille\, NY. Kenny's favorite ice cream is definitely Jane's Coconut Almond Joy.\n\nTom Bowler (bass\, vocals) likes Butter Pecan. Weird.\n\nFounding member Jason Ferguson (guitar\, vocals) RIP is no longer on this mortal pl ane. Prior to his departure\, he could be found playing guitar or bass on any given night in one of several bands including Rainbow Spirals\, (Queen s\, NY)\, Rainbow Full of Sound (East Coast)\, Wolfman Jack (New England) and any number of other great bands that asked him to sit in from time to time. Because he's that good. He was a freelancer. He was also the "go to" technician for almost every guitar player in the NY metro area that plays the Grateful Dead's music. He built amazing guitars too. He was an electr onics guru or a vacuum tube wizard of sorts. Nobody ever knew if Jason ate ice cream. It's still a big mystery. He existed solely on air. He is love d and sorely missed.\nCheck Them Out!\nhttps://mistymountainramblers.com ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kingstonhappenings.org/wp-content/upload s/2026/08/image-3.jpg CATEGORIES:@Featured,@Newsletter,Music,Nightlife and entertainment LOCATION:Colony Woodstock NY\, 22 Rock City Rd\, Woodstock\, New York\, Uni ted States GEO:42.0424924;-74.11799489999999 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=22 Rock City Rd\, Woodstock \, New York\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Colony Woodstock NY :geo:42.0424924,-74.11799489999999 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
