The Music Plays the Band is a podcast from Dark Star Orchestra Drummer Rob Korit

z about the influence of the Grateful Dead on the life and career of professional musicians from the jamband world and beyond. With the premise being musicians who like the Grateful Dead really love talking about the Grateful Dead, Rob has long form conversations with some of your favorite musicians about how they got turned on to the band and the impact it had on their life, music and careers. The Black Music Moment, highlighting the monumental influence of Black Music on the sound of the Grateful Dead.

2). The Sarno Music Solutions Breakdown with audio guru Brad Sarno about ideas and techniques that shed light on the sonic secrets from the Grateful Dead audio world.

3). There's a Grateful Dead Cover Band in Every Town features conversations with local Grateful Dead bands from around the country, discussing different approaches to covering the music and the communities that have developed around these scenes. With Dark Star Orchestra unable to tour due to the Pandemic, like many touring musicians Rob found himself in the unusual place of having lots of time at home. Not being able to bring the music to the people, Rob began engaging with fans online doing question and answer sessions, as well as some live interviews. As is often the case when dealing in all things Grateful Dead, events started taking on a life of their own and Rob was approached by old friends and St. Louis songwriting/production team Brothers Lazaroff about wanting to help Rob take these conversations further and create a formal podcast. Pulling from his lifetime as a professional touring musician specializing in the music of the Grateful Dead, Rob is excited to bring conversations he feels are largely missing from the cannon of Grateful Dead inspired content. So please join us as we learn more about how The Music Plays the Band.

Episode 34 is available now. Hear a great conversation with the late Rick Turner, legendary luthier and designer of the Wall of Sound. I interviewed him about a year ago and split it up over 4 episodes. Now you can hear the complete unedited version where Rick discusses the many guitars he built for the Dead and others plus he goes into great detail about the wall of sound. I feel so fortunate to have had this conversation and am honored to bring it to you in its entirety to memorialize a very important figure in not only the Dead community, but all of Rock music.

The genesis of ‘The Music Plays the Band’ podcast begins with Rob, finding himself in the unusual place of having lots of time at home, with Dark Star Orchestra unable to tour due to the global pandemic. Not being able to bring the music to the people, Rob began engaging with fans on social media, offering question and answer sessions, as well as some live interviews, which inspired the evolution of taking things further. Given that musicians who like the Grateful Dead really love talking about the Grateful Dead, Rob goes deep and delves into long form conversations with some of the scene’s most respected musicians detailing how they got turned on to the band and the impact it had on their life, music and careers. Koritz notes "I get to talk with some of my favorite musicians, getting to connect on why and how the Grateful Dead influences their music, their work ethic and other insights you’ll want to tune in to hear!"
