Dark Star Orchestra Bio
Dark Star Orchestra is a band formed in 1997 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. It is a tribute band to the rock group the Grateful Dead. Their genres of music include rock, psychedelic rock, and jam band. The band consists of Jeff Mattson (lead guitar/vocals), Lisa Mackey (vocals), Dino English (drums), Rob Koritz (drums), Skip Vangelas (bass), Rob Eaton (rhythm guitar/vocals), and Rob Barraco (keyboards).
The band recreates the original song-for-song set list for the new generation of Deadheads.

Washington Post, St. Paul Pioneer Press, New Times Newspapers, and Rolling Stone have profiled them.
