Celebrating the Music of the GRATEFUL DEAD.

Easy Wind has built a reputation of creating shows that pull deeply from the vibe and feel of classic '70's era Grateful Dead, a period when The Dead were firing on all cylinders of youth, exuberance, and creativity.

Founding members got on the bus in the 1980’s and saw countless shows with Jerry Garcia.

Coming from a virtual lifetime of studying and performing their catalog, Easy Wind cooks up setlists that would fit right in with the epic runs of Europe '72, Wall of Sound ’74, Spring '77, or any other magical runs of that era.

They will be performing with their stripped down acoustic set.

Well known for the highly regarded jazz guitars that are in the hands of players worldwide, luthier Victor Baker is also an accomplished guitarist, prolific modern jazz composer and active performer. A self described life long jazz guitar nut, when he isn’t in his workshop building a world class instrument he is writing, preparing and playing his original music with his group. Years ago Victor decided to limit a full time gigging and teaching career in order to pursue his equal passion of archtop guitar making, but never stopped his daily music practice. He is always striving to strike a balance between his life’s work of building, playing, writing and performing, considering all aspects of his life in guitars equally indispensable and of identical level of passion.

Victor Baker began playing guitar in 1980 when he stole his sister’s cheap acoustic out of her room. He also had a tendency to tear apart and reassemble every guitar he came across. In 1999 Victor started his journey into guitar making. Originally taken on purely as a hobby, Vic was floored by the art of luthiery and fell completely in love with the craft. He proceeded to read every book and publication possible in order to teach himself the trade, and was soon taking orders from local players. Since then, with the periodic invaluable help of various talented team members along the way, the shop has produced well over 700 custom guitars.

As a side, in 2015 Victor began work on a special commission to build a limited series of vintage D’Angelico archtop reproductions. Using measurements and scans of vintage instruments and after long research, he was able to recreate some of John D’Angelico’s prized archtop guitars, made with his team in his New York City workshop. Unveiled by the D’Angelico Company at the 2016 NAMM Guitar Show, the “Master Builder” series received high accolades. While he ultimately wanted to return to his own instrument designs, striving to reproduce the works of an original master such as John D’Angelico will always be one of the highlights of VB’s long career.

He is beloved gem of the San Diego music community and we couldn’t be more thrilled and honored to have his amazing trio back. Our friend Julien Cantelm really brings the music to life behind the drum set. Doug Walker always ceases to amaze us on bass as well with his creative and original style. Singing melodies like a vocalist with their instruments, this rhythm section is as tight as it gets while also maintaining a free felling.

Emily Afton is a California-based multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, DJ, and performer known for her signature blend of “queer emo-pop” — a sound NPR calls “wonderful, wonderful electro-pop that’s weary of life, but still positive.” With roots in both Oakland and San Diego, Afton channels a wide range of influences from Fiona Apple and Frank Ocean to Robyn and Elliott Smith, weaving together emotion, grit, and lush production. Her breakout feminist anthem “The Veil” earned her a performance slot at the San Francisco Women’s March and placements on TV shows including The CW’s Batwoman and Riverdale. Emily is born and raised in Encinitas and we are excited to have her back to the listening lounge.

Listen to Francis Blume and you might just be transported to another world. A place cast in Technicolor (but with a touch of faint film grain) where men have an ironed crease in their slacks and women button their sweaters up almost all the way up to their neck. Cast in pinks and blues or in black and white the world might be cheeky and clean at least in front of the picket fences. Blume's interpretation of love and longing on his album “Lado De Loma” sit somewhere between Roy Orbison and Eddie Cochran (with a touch of Elvis) circa 1955 to 1965.
