DON WAS & THE PAN DETROIT ENSEMBLE Drawing on the wide-ranging influences of his five-decade career, Don Was has assembled his band, the Pan-Detroit Ensemble, and recorded their debut album Groove in the Face of Adversity. The album channels the soul of the Motor City through a blend of steamy jazz, juke-joint blues, and loose-limbed funk—a sound both timeless and deeply personal. In concert, Don and the band will feature music from Groove in the Face of Adversity alongside a live rendition of The Grateful Dead’s Blues for Allah, celebrating the album’s 50th anniversary and Don’s long musical association with Bobby Weir.
