Panama Red is a crew of seasoned Portland players from a variety of musical backgrounds, joining together to perform the acoustic songcraft of the Grateful Dead and associated friends like New Riders of the Purple Sage, Old & in The Way, and such. The core members are guitarists Lewi Longmire (Kassi Valazza, Left Coast Roasters) and Briggs Yahn (Redwood Revue, Bobby Short Shorts) with rhythm section of upright bassist Bennett Ramirez (Hood Mountain Bluegrass, Spuds) and drummer Thomas Jordan (Supernatural Beavers, Steal Your Bass). Expect a reasonable amount of florid jam space, great songs, sweet vocal harmonies and a sense of mischief all around.

Days Between isn't just about Jerry Garcia's birthday – though we do love celebrating birthdays! Instead, it's a 9-day tribute to his entire life. It starts on his birthday, ends on the anniversary of his death, and covers alllllll the days in between the two. Thus, "Days Between." Also, it's a Grateful Dead song. Of course it is.
