About the Band
Lush Catt Park is a psychedelic rock and jam trio rooted in Sonoma County, California. The group delivers psychedelic rock groove and jam energy faithful to the vision of the Grateful Dead — long-form improvisation, melodic exploration, and the kind of dynamic sensitivity that comes from players who listen as hard as they play.
The band records and releases through Sonoma Coast Records, the artist-run indie label founded by pianist Rob Catterton.
The Players
Jamie Parker — Guitar
A virtuoso lead guitarist with deep family roots in the Grateful Dead tradition. Jamie's playing weaves the melodic spaciousness of the jam-band tradition with the technical precision of classic rock — the kind of player who can stretch a phrase across an entire verse and bring it home for the chorus.
Chris Lushington — Bass
Bass and low-end foundation. Chris was a founding member of the Tribal Hippie Under Ground Zone (THUGZ) and played with them for years at the Rio Nido Roadhouse. His basslines echo the melodic exploration of Phil Lesh and Jack Casady — busy when it counts, anchored when the song needs it.
Rob Catterton — Keys
Classically trained, with seven years of jazz study at San Francisco's Blue Bear School of Music. Rob is best known for "A Grand Piano Tribute to the Grateful Dead," his solo piano interpretation remastered by the Dead's own engineer Jeffrey Norman. In Lush Catt Park, his piano lines weave through Jamie and Chris's playing to build the psychedelic dreamworld at the heart of the band's sound. More at robcatterton.com.
