The Barton Hills Choir traveled 910 miles to take the stage together for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in March, 2020. Enjoy this video of the Jesse Fuller classic “Beat It On Down The Line” performed live at So Many Roads Museum and Brewery in Denver, CO with special guests Josh Rosen (guitar) and Edwin Hurwitz (bass) from Shakedown Street and Stu Crair (drums) from Dead Floyd.
The Barton Hills Choir is excited at the prospect of performing together in front of live audiences again. Before they appear in Austin though, they’ll be traveling to Denver, Colorado to perform with Shakedown Street for two shows on Saturday, July 24 at So Many Roads Museum and Brewery.
Shakedown Street is a legendary Grateful Dead tribute band that has been performing for over three decades, with a repertoire of over 200 songs and over 1,000 shows to their credit. BHC will join them for two shows, a 2:00 PM matinee and 7:30 evening performance. Shakedown Street takes the stage for a show afterwards at 9:00.
This will be the first performance by the Choir since the pandemic began, and promises to be a memorable event. Watch this space for ticket information coming soon!
The latest remote performance by the Barton Hills Choir features Noah Lewis’ ‘Big Railroad Blues’ segueing into the Garcia/Hunter classic ‘Bertha’.

Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Going to leave this broke-down palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll
In a bed, in a bed
By the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
River gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
All the way back back home
It’s a far gone lullaby
Sung many years ago
Mama, mama, many worlds I’ve come
Since I first left home
Going home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
Going to plant a weeping willow
On the banks green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
Songwriters: Robert Hunter / Jerry Garcia
