The Go To Hell Man Clan features the daughters, son, grandchildren & friends of the late great Warren Hellman: Mick, Frances, Judith, Tricia, Frankie, Matt, Sam, Ruthie, Katie, Laurel, Olivia, Avery, Sarah, Jesse & Nancy, plus Bill Kirchen, Robbie Gjersoe, Heidi Clare, Stevie Coyle & Paul Knight.
The band was formed to not only pay tribute to the man himself, but the music he loved and appreciated.
“I like to think it was something he would’ve embraced,” says son Mick Hellman, who is also the band's drummer. “Especially seeing his grandchildren out there playing. I think it would’ve meant a lot, a huge amount to him.”
“Everybody’s got their song,” says daughter Tricia Hellman Gibbs. “It brings us close to our father in a way, even though he’s not here, it feels like it is.” - NBC Bay Area
Since their performance at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 14, the band has been hard at work on new songs - which they will be debuting this evening at The Chapel!
