Bob Weir and RatDog will join a slew of guest musicians at the HeadCount 10th Anniversary Benefit Concert at the Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY on June 4th.

The inaugural Phases Of The Moon Music + Art Festival announces Phase II of artists scheduled to perform at the September 11-14 event.

The Grateful Web’s John Schumm recently sat down with RatDog guitarist Mark Karan, currently touring with Terrapin Flyer and Melvin Seals. Mark speaks about being embraced by the Grateful Dead community, touring with Terrapin Flyer, the upcoming RatDog tour, his battle with throat cancer, his solo career, and so much more.

Bob Weir & Ratdog will tour in 2014, and Kimock is on the bus! The line-up is: Bob Weir, Jeff Chimenti, Jay Lane, Steve Kimock, Rob Wasserman and Robin Sylvester.For tickets and info visit www.rat-dog.com/

Steve Kimock will join Bob Weir & RatDog at The Peach Music Festival from August 16-18 in Scranton, PA.

The demographics of a show that contains any member of The Grateful Dead is not as easily predicted as you may think. Wednesday night’s show at Innsbrook Pavilion, near Richmond was peppered with the usual suspects, to be sure.

In keeping with the event's continued effort to balance renowned national touring acts with local artists, Norwalk, CT-based singer, songwriter and musician PJ Pacifico has earned the final slot on the 2009 Gathering of the Vibes Main Stage. Pacifico will be the festival's opening bookend to one of his earliest musical influences Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN), who will close the festival on Sunday, July 26.

I hope the folks in Greensboro, NC and Florida got the same treatment we got from RatDog here in Philadelphia before ending their Fall Tour.  Two weeks after our country rejoiced and welcomed a new sign of hope in the free world with the election of Barack Obama, Ratdog brought the house down. The stage was full of election remnants.

Bobby is 61 years young today.  Thank you for keeping it going after all these years. We love you, Mr Weir!
