About theCAUSE:
WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | LISTEN
theCAUSE is a band consisting of 5 Pittsburgh musicians who have all been around the proverbial block. Playing tunes from Grateful Dead, Phish, The Beatles, Bob Dylan and MORE, including some very tasty originals, theCAUSE packs a punch while still paying close attention to the delicate touch. The players are Eric “Pappy” Weingrad on guitar and vocals (Double Dose, Reuben’s Painted Mandolin, The Ditch), David Tauberg on bass and vocals (Powers Run Band, Hard to Handle, Cherylann Hawk), Mike South on drums (Left for Dead, Sticky, West Park Road) and joining us in 2008, Pittsburgh blues veteran Jill Paone Simmons brings a whole new dimension to theCAUSE on vocals and continues to rock with us today. Jill also fronts the all-female Dead band Brown Eyed Women. Michael Cerveris is our permanent part time member playing keyboards (when he doesn’t have commitments with his other great band the Sun Champs).
theCAUSE also has had the pleasure in 2012 and 2014 of having guitarist Steve Kimock join us on stage and, for the past several years we’ve had Jeff Mattson and Lisa Mackey from Dark Star Orchestra join us for our annual D-Jam benefit concert.
As we are doing this night, we sometimes play a show where we pick a Grateful Dead concert from 1965-1995 and attempt to recreate the entire setlist. We hand out Playbills when you walk into the venue, so you know which show you’re attending! It’s always a blast!
