Aiko40 was a blast and the band is so very grateful for our fans, old and new, who came out to help us celebrate 40 years of honoring the music of our forebears, the Grateful Dead.

Huge thanks to CVMA, Park City Mountain Resort, Mountain Town Music and all the amazing “special guest” musicians who just rocked our world: Eric Krasno, Anders Osborne, Stanton Moore, Jason Hann, Brad Walker, Wil Blades, Alex Wasily, John Michael Bradford and our newest Aiko member and trumpeter extraordinaire, Lewis Krasno!! Much love to all and see you next year for Aiko41.

Let there be songs to fill the air 🧡

SUGAREE

When they come to take you down
When they bring that wagon around
When they come to call on you
And drag your poor body down
Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darlin' Sugaree
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
You thought you was the cool fool
And never could do no wrong
Had everything sown up tight
How come you lay awake all night long?
Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darlin' Sugaree
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
You know, in spite of all you gained
You still had to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you
And I guess it's time you go
Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darlin' Sugaree
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it up now Sugaree
I'll meet you at the jubilee
And if that jubilee don't come
Baby I'll meet you on the run
Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name
My darlin' Sugaree
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me

AIKO is a band of musical brothers forged in Nashville Tennessee in 1984 in the spirit of the great jam band masters, the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers. As with their forebears, AIKO fuses various elements of American rock, folk, psychedelia, country and bluegrass into lengthy instrumental jams. AIKO is made up of an eclectic group of musicians from around the country. The four original band members, Steve Ballenger (lead guitar/vocals), Ross Mason (drums), Ben Anderson (bass/vocals) and Ted Pattison (guitar/vocals) were joined in the late '90's by three additional musicians: Steve Krafft (lead guitar/vocals), Lance Deal (drums). Scott Fernandez (keyboards), Jessie Krafft and Michelle Yahn (vocals) joined the band after 2018. AIKO has played to crowds at bars, amphitheaters and festivals around the U.S. for the last 40 years.
