The Kind Buds had a great time performing November 16-18, 2007. UMass Amherst hosted Unbroken Chain, the largest conference on the
legacy of the Grateful Dead, and the first to be held by a major university. Scholars, artists, performers, students and members of the extended
Grateful Dead family gathered for the event featuring more than 50 presenters for 20 panel sessions ranging from music composition and
improvisation to an examination of the band’s business model– as well as a musical performances by Dark Star Orchestra, American Beauty
Project, and The Kind Buds along with art gallery exhibits, and special presentations.
