Superfly Productions is proud to announce the 2010 Superfly during Jazzfest concert series. Series events will take
place April 23-25 and April 30-May 2 at several signature New Orleans venues, including the recently renovated
Mahalia Jackson Theatre and the Riverboat Creole Queen, among many others. Confirmed shows are listed below.
As usual, the festival’s 14th annual installment will present top national talent alongside some of the best acts from
New Orleans’ infinitely rich music scene.

Superfly During Jazzfest will include Gov’t Mule and Rodrigo Y Gabriela at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre. The theatre re-opened in January
2009 and was the first to do so after Hurricane Katrina. Joining Gov’t Mule will be 7 walkers featuring Bill Kreutzmann & Papa Mali. The shows at the
Riverboat will feature Galactic, Greyboy Allstars, Les Claypool and North Mississippi Allstars. Kirk Joseph’s 504 Brass Band have been enlisted to join each of the Superfly shows
aboard the legendary Riverboat Creole Queen.

Conceived in 1997, the Superfly during Jazzfest Concert Series eventually attracted thousands of fans from all over
the country, and became the foundation for the iconic Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. The popular series has
presented live music fans with creative entertainment options throughout the past 13 festival seasons, and will
continue to offer memorable events in the company’s birthplace for years to come. “New Orleans is still so important
to us,” says Superfly’s Rick Farman. “We feel spiritually connected to New Orleans and we always look forward to
putting on these shows every year.”

About the Superfly During Jazzfest Series:

The Superfly during Jazzfest concert series began in 1997 to fulfill an intense demand for nighttime music events
during the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Since then, the event has become a premier destination for music
fans from all over the country. Spanning 10 days and several venues, the Superfly series attracts rabid fans who
appreciate quality live music from an adventurous range of styles and traditions.

    7 Walkers Tour: Papa Mali, Bill Kreutzmann, George Porter Jr.

    March 17th, 2010 | No Comments

    NEW PROJECT FEATURING FRESH ROBERT HUNTER LYRICS
    HITS THE ROAD

    Bill Kreutzmann by Chad Smith

    Legendary drummer and co-founder of the Grateful Dead, Bill Kreutzmann, together with funky bluesman and voodoo electronic pioneer Papa Mali, officially unveil 7 Walkers‘ spring plans. 7 Walkers, which also features bass virtuoso Reed Mathis (Tea Leaf Green, JFJO) and multi-instrumentalist Matt Hubbard (Willie Nelson and Friends), will stop at select markets and festivals through out the country, all in anticipation of a new album release. The complete list of currently confirmed tour dates is included below.

    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. Overall, the result is a fiery and funky collection of tunes that quite brilliantly capture the unique collaboration between these two very different musical shamans.

    Bill Kreutzmann (who played every show in the Grateful Dead’s illustrious 30 year career as well as The Dead incarnations since) first met funky Papa Mali at a festival in 2008. Bill recalls in a recent interview, “We first met at the Oregon Country Fair last year. He was the headliner on the main stage, and I sat there and watched him and went, ‘This guy’s for real man, I like this guy.’ Then we met, after that he came over to my trailer that I was staying in and you couldn’t separate us, we talked for hours. It was just one of those natural things, you know? You can’t plan it; You can’t make it happen. And then we started playing together.”

    Live audio recordings of the 7 Walkers can be heard at the newly re-launched www.billkreutzmann.com.

    Meanwhile, at nugs.net, fans can now download live BK3 recordings from their 2009 Colorado shows. Another potent Kreutzmann musical project, BK3 first toured in 2008 and featured a rotating lineup including such players as guitarist Scott Murawski (Max Creek) and bassists James “Hutch” Hutchinson (Bonnie Raitt), Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers) and Mike Gordon (Phish).

    Kreutzmann is also working to support the efforts of University of California at Santa Cruz, who has committed to helping to archive all things Grateful Dead. As Kreutzmann explains, “I am incredibly happy that the kind archivists at UC Santa Cruz understand the social value of [the Grateful Dead's] priceless archive, and its hallowed meaning to our most beloved ‘Dead Heads.’ Without the care it is now going to receive, these treasures would be lost.”
