Our six guys and a girl will celebrate the end of summer with three nights of DSO, as well as plenty of vendors, on-site camping, and two alternating stages featuring an incredible lineup of bands, including some of our favorite Grateful Family members, all in one of the most beautiful concert settings in the U.S. Keep checking back here in the coming weeks for major artist announcements and ticket info, and get ready to shake it up with Dark Star Orchestra when we meet you at the Dark Star Jubilee on Labor Day Weekend!

DSO #2000 On Demand
Posted on: January 31, 2012
With memories of 2011 still swirling in our heads, we can still listen to the music play via DSO On Demand. Our fresh-out-of-the-oven releases are highlighted by way too many face melting moments to count, but special notice goes the November night in Ithaca (11/19/11) our six guys and a girl celebrated DSO's 2,000th show in original style. Or feel the energy of 30,000 fans in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park come back to the stage as DSO celebrates Hardly Strictly Bluegrass with a recreation of the historic 9/28/75 show originally performed on almost the very same spot! There are also shows from the Thanksgiving Garden Party Weekend and eras to fit every taste, from the '60s to the '90s with a generous dose of original setlists. You'll find them all here. What else would you listen to while you head out on Southbound Winter Tour?

DSO Seeks Merchandiser
Posted on: January 10, 2012
While Dark Star Orchestra anxiously awaits the February Southbound Winter Tour, it will also sadly mark the last run for DSO Merchandiser Extraordinaire, Ellie. She is the smiling face that has helped you pick out the just-exactly-perfect t-shirt or hoodie for the last year, and while we're excited for her that she's going to spend more time with her family, we're most sorry to see her go. If you have some merchandising experience, a solid work ethic, a great attitude and are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen every day on the road, send your inquiries and resumes to Jack Barton (jack@walther-productions.com).
