Double Decker Music Series

Thanks everyone who came out for our 3 sold-out bus shows this summer. Bob Sweeney’s great videos from them will be posted here in the coming weeks. In the meantime you can follow us on Instagram for “view from the bus” posts and throwback posts from past DDMS events.

We’ll see you in the future!

The bus is an HYY pick! I chatted with the station’s Jen Kinney and she wrote up this. Limited tickets remain for July’s show. The 6/24 and 8/26 DDMS events are now SOLD-OUT.

We’re teaming up again with Bowerbird to host a series of 3 Double Decker Music Series events this summer.

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of the great Charles Cohen, master of the Buchla Music Easel, the VERY FIRST DDMS performer, the catalyst for the whole series, and a dear dear friend. .His offhand remark in the parking lot before a Phish show  in 2009: "Sebastian, have you ever thought about putting live music on your double decker buses?" is what got the wheels turning. This is still one of the all-time best DDMS pictures by @sxt from the very first DDMS 2013.10.01 RIP #charlescohen

Scroll down here to read a short bit about what Sebastian brings to tourism in Philly and see a picture of him making a commanding tour-guide point with his hair looking mighty fine!

See a little of the magic! that happened on the bus top with Tether and Jo Nelson. Thanks, Scott!
