Every October, Doctor Gasp (folk musician Dan Blakeslee) rises from the shadows bringing the spirit of Halloween with him to venues all across New England. Often joined by a cast of collaborators (the Eeks), they preform original songs with themes of vampire, ghosts, and other eerie figures, blending classic horror with American folk tradition.
