Kristina Marinova/ The Bus Came By And I Got On/ Grateful Dead

The bus Came By And I Got On/ Kristina Marinova/ Grateful Dead / If you thought the Grateful Dead’s whirlwind psychedelia didn’t belong on solo piano, you’d be dead wrong. With THE BUS CAME BY AND I GOT ON, classically-trained pianist Kristina Marinova captures the sonic tapestry of the Grateful Dead’s music with a devotee-pleasing setlist designed to replicate a Dead concert spanning their inception in 1966 to their award-winning and critically-acclaimed three-album Live European Tour in 1972. With her reputation as “a feast for the ears” and someone who makes it clear that “music is like a message from God,” Marinova’s just the person for the job, expertly translating mind-melting soundscapes for a single instrument.

The bus is pulling into the station, so buy the ticket and take the ride on a psychedelic trip to a world of cross-genre beauty.
