| Narrows Center For The Arts 16 Anawan St.The Biltmore 101 Fairview Rd.Visulite Theater 1615 Elizabeth Ave.For the western music group, see Riders of the Purple Sage (band).The band is sometimes referred to as the New Riders, or as NRPS.New Riders lyricist Robert Hunter and tape archivist Willy Legate, and Garcia formed the Grateful Dead, then known as the Warlocks, with an acquaintance, blues singer Ron "Pigpen" McKernan.Around this time, Garcia was similarly inspired to take up the pedal steel guitar, and Dawson and Garcia began playing coffeehouse concerts together while the Grateful Dead was off the road.The Dawson and Garcia repertoire included Bakersfield country standards, traditional bluegrass, Dawson originals, a few Dylan covers ("Lay Lady Lay", "You Ain't Going Nowhere", "Mighty Quinn"), and Joni Mitchell's song "Big Yellow Taxi".By the summer of 1969 it was decided that a full band would be formed to satisfy Garcia's desires in this creative outlet.David Nelson was immediately recruited from Big Brother to play electric lead guitar.New Riders of the Purple Sage (a nod to the Zane Gray classic and an obscure western swing combo from the 40s) consisted of Robert Hunter on electric bass and Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart.Dave Torbert, a young Bay Area musician, replaced Lesh.Ian and Sylvia and the Great Speckled Bird, replaced Garcia.Thanks to rampant touring and the coattails of the Grateful Dead, with whom they still gigged periodically (both bands shared the same management in this epoch), the New Riders managed to nearly eclipse the parent band in popularity.The band peaked in popularity in 1973 with the sleeper hit The Adventures of Panama Red and the accompanying single, "Panama Red", an FM radio staple.Radio Caroline adopted the song "On My Way Back Home" from the Gypsy Cowboy album as the station's theme tune.The New Riders of the Purple Sage continued touring and releasing albums throughout the mid to late '70s and early '80s.Then, in 1982, David Nelson and Buddy Cage departed from the band.From the early '80s to the late '90s, John Dawson continued as leader of the New Riders of the Purple Sage.Rusty Gautier, who sang and played acoustic guitar, slide guitar, mandolin, banjo, and fiddle.During this fifteen year period, an evolving lineup of musicians played with Dawson and Gautier in the New Riders.In 1997, the New Riders of the Purple Sage retired from show business.According to NRPS's official web site, "Dawson remains retired in Mexico and has given the guys his blessing and sends his best to all his fans out there."Marin County Line (1978)
