"Grave blankets" are defined as decorative covers for gravesites. For nearly a decade, it seemed as though Chris Arduser — best known for his work with psychodots, The Bears, Adrian Belew and a variety of related bands and artists — had relegated his popular Americana side project of the same name to his own personal musical cemetery. The hiatus has ended, and the band has re-emerged with new energy and a new album.  

The Graveblankets are back! Though the members have been busy with other musical projects, the popular Folk/Rock/Pop group hasn't put out a proper recording since 2000. They make their triumphant return Saturday with a refreshed lineup (regulars Chris Arduser, George Cunningham and Bob Nyswonger are joined by 18-year-old vocalist/fiddle master Rosie Carson) and some new tunes.
