To fill in the touring and creative gaps till the next Dead and Company tour,
Bob Weir will be exploring songs of the Grateful Dead and more in a trio
setting. Bob Weir and Wolf Bros
featuring Bob Weir, Don Was and Jay Lane will come to the historic, nonprofit
Florida Theatre on March 27 at 8 p.m.
Bob Weir, rhythm and lead guitarist for the Grateful Dead, Dead & Company
and Ratdog; famed bassist Don Was, founder of the ‘80s funk-rock band Was (Not
Was) and known for the hits: “Walk The
Dinosaur” and “Spy In The House Of
Love”; and Ratdog drummer Jay Lane form this new trio that will perform
songs by the Grateful Dead like: “Cassidy,”
“Touch of Grey,” “Jack Straw,” “Friend of The Devil” and others.
As one of the founding members of the legendary Grateful Dead, which received a
GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007, Weir has become one of rock’s finest
and most first album of solo material in more than 10 years and his first album
of entirely original material in more than 30 years. Weir is currently a member of Dead &
Company which features Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann
along with John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti.
Weir says, “Wolf Bros is something that
really took its roots back in the spring of 2015 when Don Was came up to TRI
and helped us piece together Dead & Company. For a while now I’ve been
itchin’ to explore our songs in a trio setting. An upright bass, my acoustic or
electric guitar and a drummer. We did some rehearsals this past spring and it
was big fun—and that’s the whole idea. We were kickin’ around Dead songs as
well as tunes from my back pages. I’m pretty sure we’re gonna have a big
adventure with this…”
