Little Feat’s Bill Payne has been working with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter as of late. The pair have written nine new compositions and Payne will discuss the nature of this collaboration in a songwriting class set to take place at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch during a session that will extend from March 30 through April 2. Payne will both lecture and perform at the Pomeroy, Ohio facility and will welcome longtime Grateful Dead publicist and the band’s official biographer Dennis McNally into the dialogue as well.

Tonight Little Feat returns to the stage at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood, NJ.
