Assembly of Dust Release New Live Album 
Tales from The Oregon Trail 

Assembly of Dust released their newest album Tales from The Oregon Trail, an energetic journey through some of the renowned jamband’s strongest material recorded live in concert in Portland, Oregon.

The ten-track release is ripe with both intricate electric improvisation, as well as wood-tinged acoustic intimacy, creating a sound that AOD founder and frontman Reid Genauer has endearingly dubbed “face melting folk rock.” Among the road-tested tunes on Tales from The Oregon Trail are “All That I Am Now” and “Samuel Aging,” as well as the premiere of Genauer’s solo-acoustic cover of Neil Young’s “Comes a Time.” 

“To me, hearing music is like a full body experience, and I experience Assembly of Dust as a fan. Hearing the guys in the band contribute to the telling of these stories in their own mind’s eye through our music provides me with fanboy levels of satisfaction,” says Genauer.
 
And while Genauer’s songs and powerful voice resonate as the heart of his music, it’s the accompanying musicians that provide its powerful body and limbs. From sketching songs in the studio, to unfurling them in no-holds-barred live settings, Genauer has consistently surrounded himself with some of the industry’s best players. 

Adam Terrell (Lead Guitar) and John Leccesse (Bass) have been with the group since its inception, while Jason Crosby (Keys, Violin) and Dave Diamond (Drums) have rounded out the stellar lineup in recent years. Mark Karan -- best known as lead guitarist with the Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir’s RatDog -- is a frequent collaborator and appears as a special guest on Tales from The Oregon Trail.   

“Reid Genauer is one of my favorite songwriters. His words and melodies have always given an extra bounce to my step,” says Peter Shapiro, owner of famed New York music venues The Capitol Theater and Brooklyn Bowl, Relix Magazine, and promoter of the hugely successful 2015 Fare Thee Well concerts by the Grateful Dead. “Reid writes songs that you want to hear and that you want your children to hear. We would all be better off if the next generation of music fans can share some of that feeling,” says Shapiro.
