Bill Kreutzmann, with funky bluesman and voodoo electronic pioneer Papa Mali, are on the road as the 7 Walkers. The group features multi-instrumentalist Matt Hubbard (Willie Nelson and Friends) and legendary bassist George Porter Jr. (Funky Meters) and will stop at select markets and festivals through out the country, all in anticipation of a new album release.
7 Walkers recently spent time at an Austin, Texas studio, recording an album to be released later this year. In addition to a brand-new batch of Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan lyricist) originals that were co-written with the band, the new album offers up favorites from the Grateful Dead repertoire, Papa Mali originals, and some New Orleans and Southern songbook interpretations.
Other featured artists include Bill Kreutzmann of the Grateful Dead, George Porter Jr., Papa Mali and Matt Hubbard, with special guest Moonalice.
