On Saturday, February 25, Bob Weir & The Wolf Bros delivered an incredible night of music to a sold out crowd at the Louisville Palace. The elegant venue set a unique tone for a jubilant evening of music with Bob Weir. The vibrant colors of the building’s interior and the ornate architecture was brought to life by The Wolf Bros’ marvelous light show and the timeless music that draws his fans from all across the country.

Zach Nugent’s Dead Set is thrilled to announce their ‘Spring Thaw’ New York Tour, which will take place from April 19th to April 29th.

The band then heads tomorrow to Tacoma, WA for their first ever gig at the Spanish Ballroom and closes the visit with a Sunday night gig at Seattle’s Tractor Tavern.

Born out of a love for the Grateful Dead songbook and the jam band culture, the inaugural Dead Ends Live thrilled fans of this broad musical canvas last spring, just as things were shifting to some sort of normalcy.

The Garcia Project is so excited to be back on tour across the USA to bring you all some classic Jerry Garcia Band show recreations. We will have a few special guests throughout this year as well!

The tour starts on March 16, 2023 at CLUB FOX in Redwood City with very special guest, Jacklyn Labranch! Jackie was in the Jerry Garcia Band from 1982-1995. For this show, we will be performing a classic 1990’s Jerry Band show.

Arriving early for round two on Sunday, February 5th, the air was electric with anticipation outside the Mission Ballroom on Phil Lesh’s final night in Denver with his friends. Fueled with the outcome of a great first night, multiple conversations in the already forming lines speculated over the musical possibilities of the evening, including the rest of “Dark Star” in lieu of the full moon or an appropriate “Mission In The Rain”. Certainly, the possibility of Billy Strings sitting in was on everyone’s mind, Strings having wrapped his own three night run the day before and sitting in with Ross James and Andy Thorn in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Of course, the “Never Miss a Sunday Show” theory factored into everyone’s predictive model and with all these dynamics, so much potential was still on the table. With everyone’s continued reeling from the outpouring of love and quality playing on Saturday, the energy of night two, from outside the building, was already climbing.

In a guest-filled closer at The Cap, one of the many highlights was Rick and Peter from Goose sitting in on a "Franklin’s Tower" > "The Other One", along with RatDog's Kenny Brooks and the full 10-piece band. We also saw Dred Scott and singer Sasha Dobson on Saturday, and Friday's performance was accentuated by harpist Mikaela Davis joining for most of the show.

Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros brought their 2023 winter tour to Port Chester, NY on Tuesday night for the first of four nights of great music and dancing at the Capitol Theatre. Bob Weir is front and center stage with the Wolf Bros. This is Bobby’s band and this is his Wolf Bros show.
