Don Was is a musical titan whose influence spans nearly 100 million album sales as a producer for icons like The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson. A six-time Grammy winner and the current President of the legendary Blue Note Records, Was has spent the last seven years as the backbone of Bob Weir and Wolf Bros. This tour is a homecoming of sorts, as he leads The Pan Detroit Ensemble—a powerhouse group of Motor City elite—to bridge the gap between cosmic rock and gritty Detroit soul.
Experience a vibrant mix of original compositions alongside a deep-dive tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead’s "Blues for Allah." Celebrated for its adventurous fusion of jazz, rock, and Eastern scales, the 1975 masterpiece serves as the perfect canvas for the Ensemble's improvisational prowess. By pairing their own contemporary material with a full exploration of this timeless classic, Don Was and his ensemble bridge the gap between the Grateful Dead’s cosmic vision and the heartbeat of the Motor City.
