Too Cool To Bluff

Too Cool To Bluff is a New Jersey five-piece — Scott Warren on keys, Ian Schwartz and Rafael Orsini on guitars, Ben Machlin on bass, Ben Schwartz on drums, and all five singing — running at the Grateful Dead songbook with greatest hits, deep cuts, and the covers the Dead themselves reached for, plus Phish, The Band, the Beatles, and Blind Melon. Tight harmonies and polish over the improvisational spirit of the Dead. They work Monmouth County and the Shore, trading off the Thursday slot at Tre Pizza in Freehold with Gratefulmen through the fall.
