But I quickly realized this would be a departure from the song I named my daughter after. This version of &#8220;Cassidy&#8221; captures the essence of this band\u2014you may expect to hear a Dead cover band, but you discover joyously, while the band is discovering it as well, that you\u2019re hearing all four guys\u2019 experiences coming together to create a new and different style. Their music is often Dead-like, but it\u2019s certainly not like any act you\u2019ve heard play with the members of the Dead.<\/p>\n<p>On a day when almost the entire city of Washington shut down because of an early Spring snowstorm, the Golden Gate Wingmen stuck to their plans to open their tour to a crowd of appreciative fans. The Hamilton was much more crowded than many of us expected, but the weather wasn\u2019t going to stop people from getting down with these guys. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"827\" height=\"1107\" title=\"John Kaldlecik of Golden Gate Wingmen\" data-id=\"31697\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9O6A0410.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" data-width=\"827\" data-height=\"1107\" data-init-width=\"765\" data-init-height=\"1024\"><\/span><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"321\" title=\"John Kaldlecik of Golden Gate Wingmen\" data-id=\"31697\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9O6A0410.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" data-width=\"240\" data-height=\"321\" data-init-width=\"765\" data-init-height=\"1024\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Guitarist <strong>John Kadlecik<\/strong> led the charge, along with <strong>Jeff Chimenti<\/strong> on keys, <strong>Reed Mathis<\/strong> on bass and<strong> Jay Lane<\/strong> on drums. We actually got a chance to talk with the band before the show, and we\u2019ve included a bit of that interview below with a clip from the \u201cCassidy\u201d jam. The whole show is available below, and the interview we did will be featured on an upcoming episode of the <a href=\"https:\/\/brokedownpodcast.blogspot.com\/\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\"><u>Brokedown Podcast<\/u><\/a>. You can listen to a small clip of the interview at the bottom of this article.<\/p>\n<p>These guys aren\u2019t wingmen at all, in the traditional sense, but really are leaders of their craft coming together to create brand new music that they don\u2019t get anywhere else. They mix in some non-Dead music as well, like <strong>Bob Dylan\u2019s<\/strong> \u201cIt Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train To Cry\u201d and \u201cRing Them Bells.\u201d The second set featured covers of <strong>George Harrison<\/strong>, <strong>The Who<\/strong>, and <strong>John Lennon<\/strong>. These covers help, in a way, to keep them away from just playing the Dead, which helps to keep the perspective on their music, not the band they\u2019re all best known for covering.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"827\" height=\"572\" title=\"Jeff Chimenti of Golden Gate Wingmen\" data-id=\"31698\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9O6A0105.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" data-width=\"827\" data-height=\"572\" data-init-width=\"1024\" data-init-height=\"709\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jeff Chimenti played masterfully on the keys the entire evening.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"356\" height=\"246\" title=\"Jeff Chimenti of Golden Gate Wingmen\" data-id=\"31698\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9O6A0105.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" data-width=\"356\" data-height=\"246\" data-init-width=\"1024\" data-init-height=\"709\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jeff Chimenti played masterfully on the keys the entire evening.<\/p>\n<p>But there were plenty of Dead songs as well. The \u201cMasterpiece\u201d had a pure <strong>Jerry Garcia<\/strong> tone, but John K\u2019s signature voice and feel. The set closing \u201cRipple\u201d had a reggae vibe that combined Reed Mathis\u2019s octave-bending effects with Jeff\u2019s bluesy piano. As they said in our interview, they like having the freedom to kick back, take chances and explore\u2014and this set was a great example of this in action.<\/p>\n<p>The second set opened with a nice, long, bluesy \u201cSugaree,\u201d with Jay Lane always being responsive and attuned to the changes in tempo and direction. Reed Mathis led the way on \u201cQueen Jane Approximately,\u201d which was made better by the combination of his voice and effects through his guitar amp, bending one\u2019s impression of what can be done with a bass guitar.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"827\" height=\"1078\" title=\"Jay Layne of Golden Gate Wingmen\" data-id=\"31700\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9O6A0234.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" data-width=\"827\" data-height=\"1078\" data-init-width=\"785\" data-init-height=\"1024\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jay Layne was smiling ear to ear the entire night.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"388\" title=\"Jay Layne of Golden Gate Wingmen\" data-id=\"31700\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9O6A0234.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" data-width=\"297\" data-height=\"388\" data-init-width=\"785\" data-init-height=\"1024\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jay Layne was smiling ear to ear the entire night.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the second set was a classic \u201cHelp On the Way &gt; Slipknot,\u201d but I don\u2019t think anyone expected the \u201cWharf Rat\u201d that came out of the jam. This version was soulful and included the important things about that song, but included a lot of originality as well. Jeff Chimenti\u2019s haunting keys on this song helped remind the crowd of the heaviness of the original intention, and John\u2019s soloing was spot on. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This was a special night at The Hamilton, mostly because we didn\u2019t know what to expect with the weather, combined with the fact that it was the tour opener. In some ways, the band didn\u2019t know what to expect, either. And that\u2019s what makes them worth checking out. This is no Dead cover band. They may be wingmen, but they\u2019re in their own league.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"827\" height=\"847\" title=\"Reed Mathis of Golden Gate Wingmen\" data-id=\"31701\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9O6A0843.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" data-width=\"827\" data-height=\"847\" data-init-width=\"999\" data-init-height=\"1024\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Reed Mathis did double duty on the bass, vocals and additional duty if you count the guitar active bass solos.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"273\" height=\"280\" title=\"Reed Mathis of Golden Gate Wingmen\" data-id=\"31701\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/9O6A0843.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\" data-width=\"273\" data-height=\"280\" data-init-width=\"999\" data-init-height=\"1024\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Reed Mathis did double duty on the bass, vocals and additional duty if you count the guitar active bass solos.<\/p>\n<p>The second set closed with a rocking \u201cTouch of Grey,\u201d which was probably the song most closely played like the original.
