Desert Rain Is a band that started back in 1987 in a much simpler time and space.... when the Grateful Dead was still that innocent cozmic circus we all wanted to run away with, if only to stave off the inevitable "grown up future" we all faced.

It is in that tradition that the Desert Rain Trio plays music.

With a fearless love for the song coupled with a strong urge to make people dance, Desert Rain Trio plays the gems from Johnny Cash, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Talking Heads to Bob Marley--covering blues, rock, country, reggae, funk, and every genre in between.

Desert Rain shows are genuinely fun and performed with a certain warmth, intimacy, and confidence that comes with playing for many years.

Come and take a trip with Desert Rain and go where wind don't blow so strange!
