Achilles Wheel and the Dead Beats ~ Friday, February 20, 2015
Achilles Wheel ~ This is Life”
The Miners Foundry is pleased to present Achilles Wheel and the Dead Beats in a Chinese New Year Celebration on Friday, February 20, 2015.
Achilles Wheel is about playing music that makes you want to dance while the Dead Beats offer a certain indefinable sound and feel that really captures the essence of a Grateful Dead show.
Plenty of room to dance! Limited seating.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the music begins at 8:00 p.m.
Tickets are $20 in Advance and $25 at the Door. Tickets are available online, by phone, or in person at the Miners Foundry, or in person at Briar Patch Co-Op. Ticketing fees may apply.
Achilles Wheel is a high energy Roots & World Music / Rock & Roll band, featuring award winning songwriting, numerous stringed instruments, and more drums than you can shake a stick at.
The fiery epicenter of the Achilles Wheel sound is Jonny Mojo on lead guitar and vocals, surrounded by Paul Kamm and Shelby Snow on rhythm, bass, and vocals, and Gary Campus and Mark McCartney on drums and vocals.
If you love to dance and celebrate life, come see Achilles Wheel and make a joyful noise.
The DeadBeats formed during the Summer of 1994 on the notion they could pull off some reasonable Grateful Dead covers. Soon it was apparent the band was on to something, a certain indefinable sound and feel that really captures the essence of a Dead show.
Though band members have come and gone over the years, Tom, Paul, and Gary have remained the core of the band, providing a solid continuity to the DeadBeat sound.
