Cover Alert: Dragon Smoke – Franklin’s Tower (Grateful Dead)

Last night supergroup Dragon Smoke kicked off a four-show Northeast run at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg. The band usually features Eric Lindell on guitar, but for this run Anders Osborne will fill Lindell’s role. At Brooklyn Bowl, the quartet of Osborne, Ivan Neville, Stanton Moore and Rob Mercurio even covered the Grateful Dead, with the help of guitarist Billy Iuso.

As a taste of what you can expect at the three remaining Dragon Smoke shows, check out their cover of Franklin’s Tower featuring Iuso from last night’s show as recorded by our pal Marc Millman…

Dragon Smoke performs tonight at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, which will be followed by shows in Fairfield, Conn. tomorrow and on Fire Island this Thursday. Go see ’em!
