Shasta Danny Carnahan and the fabulous WAKE THE DEAD perform at The Stage Door in Mt. Shasta. As an expression of cultural joy, you can’t top an Irish wake. And what is a wake but a celebration—a toast of appreciation—an expression of love—and a damn good party? So when eight top Bay Area musicians realized they shared as deep a love for the songs of the Grateful Dead as they did for traditional Celtic tunes, some brand-new music sprang up and started partying. WAKE THE DEAD is a romp that flows seamlessly from rock grooves to hot Irish reels, and from haunting airs to achingly beautiful melodies familiar to Deadheads everywhere. 9pm, Adm: $20 at the Stage Door Coffeehouse & Cabaret, 414 Mount Shasta Blvd in Mount Shasta. http://www.stagedoorcabaret.com
