   John Kadlecik Ne Diyor?
Hakkımda:
John Kadlecik (pronounced Kad' luh sik) is a multi-instrumentalist musician and singer/songwriter from the Washington, DC area. Perhaps best known for singing and playing the Jerry Garcia parts in Dark Star Orchestra (as well as being a co-founder of the group,) John has been studying and performing music for over 30 years, and has also released recordings of original music and performed with a variety of bands both original and cover oriented. His most recent studio release was a full length CD titled American Spring by a group called The Mix with Melvin Seals, Gregg Anton, and Kevin Rosen and featuring two new Robert Hunter/Gregg Anton songs. John's currently active original live side-project is called Firewheel, a world-groove jam-tronica duo with percussionist, singer, songwriter (and wife) Katy Gaughan, in which he plays violin, mandolin, and percussion in addition to electric, synth, and acoustic guitars. Needless to say, John is absolutely ecstatic to be playing with Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Jeff Chimenti, Jay Lane, and Joe Russo in Bob and Phil's new band, Furthur.

John was born on June 28, 1969 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. His mother was (and still is) a visual artist and his father was a city manager, now retired. The family moved every few years, and John grew up in many mid-western towns including Omaha, Cincinnati (where his sister was born), and Davenport, Iowa (where he began studying classical violin) before landing solidly in the Chicago area. There he was bitten by the improvisation bug and began teaching himself guitar while attending high school in the suburb of Palatine. After playing classic and hard rock in numerous garage bands, John began moving more in the direction of jazz and folk music, and in 1990 started performing regularly in the Chicago area with the band, Uncle Buffalo's Urban Mountain Review. When that band split up, John joined Hairball Willie, with whom he performed, wrote, and recorded from 1991-1996. After a brief stint with the Chicago based Uncle John's Band, John formed his first new group, a jazz-fusion influenced jam-band called Wingnut (no connection to the New England band by the same name) and shortly thereafter in 1997 co-founded Dark Star Orchestra.

Originally meant to be nothing more than a Tuesday night house-band/side-project for Chicago-based Deadhead musicians, DSO took off like no other Grateful Dead tribute had before. Everyone in the group quit their other projects and the band was touring coast to coast within 18 months of its inception. DSO's "hook" of performing entire Grateful Dead setlists, often criticized as a gimmick, was actually intended as a framework or curriculum for deeper study of the Dead's music, and was warmly embraced by fans all over the country. Several members of the Grateful Dead have performed live with DSO, including Bob Weir, Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, Bill Kreutzmann, Tom Constanten, and Vince Welnick. Many other guests have also joined DSO on stage: Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon, Martin Fierro, Vassar Clements, Sam Bush, Peter Rowan, Keller Williams, Jamie Masefield, and Kenny Withrow, to name a few.

Between DSO tours, John somehow found time to start and perform with a number of other musical projects, among them a bluegrass band (the Dime Store String Band), a Beatles tribute (Bug Juice), and several original projects (JK Band, The Mix, Firewheel,) as well as sitting in with groups such as Cornmeal, The Phix, Boombox, Melvin Seals and JGB, Donna Jean and the Heart of Gold Band, and the Zen Tricksters.

In 2006 John relocated to the Washington, DC area and currently resides in Takoma Park, Maryland with his wife, Katy Gaughan. When not out on the road with Furthur or DSO, he can occasionally be seen playing jazz violin with Katy's band, Djesben, as well as solo acoustic and Firewheel performances in DC area music clubs and coffeehouses.

Dear John,
            I posted a bulliten today about my feelings of Furthur, and I'd like to share it with you:



Ok, I do alot of reading on comments people make on Dead.net
and you tube about the new project Furthur. As we all know, Weir and
Lesh have teamed up with various musicians and have come up with
Furthur. I've read many harsh words about John playing Jerry's part.
Things have been said that he is a wash out copy cat, and has no
originality. I beg to argue with those who do not favor the idea of
John on stage with Bob and Phil. I feel that the boys know what they
are doing, and picked John because he does sound so much like Jerry's
hand. I feel that those of us that call our selves "family" or
deadheads, should be thankful that the music is still here, and we can
still enjoy it. I did not get my chance to see the wonderful Jerry
play, or hear his voice in person. But, I thank God everyday that the
rest of the boys keep the music going, and the "lot" scene alive. I
love Phil and Bobby so much, and I have seen John twice with DSO, and I
believe that Furthur is going to rock this Dec, and it's a band we will
probably see more of after this tour. I'm Furthur bound BABY!



Can't wait to see you in CT and NJ hun~

Congratulations on going FURTHUR John!  You've been an inspiration to me since I saw you play Jean-Luc Ponty and Charlie Daniels on the fiddle note for note in the same evening at the Cubby Bear in Chicago in early '98.  

I still think of you on Monday nights brother.  The Dime Store String Band was a great musical learning experience for me and it was a blast switching instruments with you.  Can't wait to see you in CALI.  I will definitely be bending my ear to hear the tune.  Great job keeping the vibe alive!  ONE LOVE-fd
