Host Marla Davies talks to Rock and Roll Photographer and Filmmaker Jay Blakesberg about the 'Skull and Roses' Festival that was scheduled for April 2-5, 2020. 'Festival Nation' and the Pantheon Podcast Network teamed up with 'Skull and Roses' for a podcast mini-series. This is one of the interviews from the archives that didn't air before the festival cancelled. You'll get a peak into a pre-pandemic world and a 2020 concert season that could have been. On this episode you'll hear Jay's excitement about a promising festival season, a Grateful Dead touring museum, a favorite festival flashback and many Dead Tales. https://www.rockoutbooks.com/ Songs: Flaming Lips - Live October 12, 2020 - Oklahoma City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCIpVApPUYM Tedeschi Trucks Band with Trey Anastasio - 'Layla' - Lockin Arrington Virginia August 24, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO1NB_yIZec Also part of this mini-series will be upcoming interviews with JGB Band Melvin Seals and Dead & Company Oteil Burbridge.
