Bobby did it his own way. Always. He was, both with the Dead and without, a truly far out artist. Such a long, long time to be gone and short time to be there.

Featuring musicians you’ll recognize from countless shows throughout the East Coast.

Dan Vorstermans - guitar, vocals, Bob Weir shorts

Pete Davison - bass, vocals, harmonica

Seamus Erskine - guitar, vocals

Siobhan Martin - keys, vocals

Kye Ehresman - drums, loud shirts
