The Mix, is brand new musical collaboration that combines Hammond B-3 specialist Melvin Seals from Jerry Garcia Band fame on the Keyboards and Vocals, John Kadlecik and Kevin Rosen who use their guitar, bass, and vocal abilities to recreate classic Grateful Dead performances in their other band the Dark Star Orchestra, and the highly skilled drummer Greg Anton from legendary Bay area rock band Zero, to create an innovative and original debut album called American Spring.
The Mix have lived up to their moniker on this album, by mixing their unique styles and musical versatility together to create some down home Americana music that upon first listen seems comfortable and familiar, yet original and fresh. There are hints of blues, folk, rock, and even a little funk throughout the album, which gives The Mix its musical flexibility.
