Once in a While

Owsley “Bear” Stanley was the first sound engineer for Grateful Dead and the visionary behind the Wall of Sound. As the sound man for Grateful Dead and many others, he recorded every artist that performed through the PA systems that he designed. He referred to these recordings as his Sonic Journals.

Join us as Hawk, Executive Producer of the Owsley Stanley Foundation, offers a rare glimpse into Bear’s legendary archive of tapes, including never-before-released recordings from Grateful Dead, and other artists. Experience this curated listening session before Attack Theatre's final performance of Once in a While on Saturday, March 7 at 6:30pm.
