Ace of Cups – 60s Girl Band Reunites

Ace of Cups – 60s Girl Band Reunites

From 1967-1972 Ace of Cups shared billing with Jimi Hendrix, The Band, Grateful Dead, and Mike Bloomfield, to name just a few. The all-girl group was smack dab in the middle of the psychedelic Haight-Ashbury scene.

Last year, more than 50 years after getting together, the band released its full-length debut studio album to widespread critical acclaim, including features on NPR All Things Considered and CBS This Morning. The album was produced by Dan Shea (Mariah Carey, Santana, Jennifer Lopez) and features contributions from long-time friends of the band, including Bob Weir (Grateful Dead), Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna), Taj Mahal, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Peter Coyote, and Steve Kimock.  

But it’s not just about the old days with Ace of Cups. The group has a new album coming out this summer and the list of contributing writers and musicians (including Bob Weir) reads like a wall at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Old Guys Still Rockin spent a lot of time at the NAMM Media Center. 

We interviewed Audiologist Dr. Julie Glick, Singer/Songwriter Barry Keenan of Invisible Poet Kings (along with drummer Voyce McGinley III, and guitarist Ed Krzyzaniak), legendary producer/engineer Matt Forger, members of the 1960’s girl band Ace of Cups (who’s releasing a new album this summer supported by a slew of famous musicians, including the Dead’s Bob Weir). 

We want to thank the people at the Media Center, particularly Carrie and Roslyn who helped make things easy and avert crises.
