Hey Now! This Week! On Thursday, October 22nd we’re bringing the Midnight North sound to Golden Gate Park and the Forever Grateful Concert Series!

A fun extra announcement! Legendary audio engineer, Betty Cantor Jackson, will be doing her thing recording the show AND letting folks listen in on spare headsets. It will be a live Betty board and a very cool interactive feature in the exhibit. Midnight North has worked with Betty a few times in the past, she has mastered some of our studio albums – but this show will be the first time she’s done a Midnight North Betty Board – needless to say we are stoked! We love Betty! The photo here is of Midnight North’s Connor O with Betty over 10 years ago in San Francisco when we first worked together!

There’s Always a Story: And So It Grows

The Grateful Dead was never meant to be a finished story. Its music became a living ecosystem, carried forward by the musicians, artists, fans, and communities who took what came before and made something of their own. Midnight North represents that next generation: a band born in the Bay Area, shaped by the music and community of Terrapin Crossroads, and carrying the Lesh family connection into a sound that is distinctly their own.

With Grahame Lesh and Elliott Peck at its center, Midnight North brings together American roots music, songwriting, harmony, and improvisation – traditions passed down, reshaped, and made new. They are leaves and branches of the great old tree, connected to the roots, but always reaching outward.

The journey comes full circle not by looking backward, but by looking at where the music is growing next!

The Midnight North origin story pretty much started right around the same time Terrapin Crossroads opened for business in San Rafael, CA. While we played a few shows in and around San Francisco before then, we really came into our own and became a band on the TXR bar stage and in the Grate Room. Things only picked up once we began our Sunday evening residency that lasted many years. Those were the good days! While its sad that the OG TXR is no longer, we can certainly thank the Lesh Family for carrying the vibe forward with the ever expanding Terrapin Roadshows. We had an epic time last year at the San Rafael Roadshow and no doubt this month’s two August Roadshows in Glenwood Springs will bring that Terrapin Nation vibe to Colorado! Hope to see you there for another chapter of Midnight North and TXR!
