THURSDAY, MAY 23 WATER STREET MUSIC HALL, 204 N. WATER ST. 9 P.M. | $30-$35 | WATERSTREETMUSIC.COM [ ROCK ] It’s still hard to believe that the Grateful Dead
is history. Following Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995, the Grateful Dead dissolved. The band’s remaining members toured as The Other Ones and The Dead, or formed new groups including Furthur, RatDog, and Phil Lesh & Friends. Ex-Dead drummer Mickey Hart is no exception, and has kept on truckin’.Hart first perked my ears with his 1991 world-percussion “Planet Drum” CD that was one of my bachelor-pad soundtracks back in the day. Hart’s latest group, Mickey Hart Band, features eight talented musicians, including Rochester-native Joe Bagale on lead vocals. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR
Miss Tess and The Talk Backs FRIDAY, MAY 24 LOVIN’ CUP, 300 PARK POINT 9 P.M. | $5-$7 | LOVINCUP.COM [ AMERICANA ] She’s swung sweetly with a gentle sepia
coo for so long that all the antiquity is washed away. Though this Big Apple chanteuse’s sound is that of Tin Pan Alley on a Saturday night, it’s not a borrowed aesthetic from long ago — it’s her sound. She owns it. Miss Tess ably chops though the jazzy changes and sings stunningly behind the beat as her new outfit, The Talk Backs, provide a sensational groove to the sashay. Her new CD, “Talk Back,” is her first in three years. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
