Welcome to the official Myspace page of Phil Lesh & Friends!
Those looking for the inspiration of the current jam band movement need look no further than Phil Lesh. A founding member of the venerable American musical institution, the Grateful Dead, Lesh has continued to inspire while pushing the envelope with his highly evolved musical performances. The world-class musicians that have passed through Phil Lesh & Friends have thrilled audiences with their high-flying improvisations and timeless renditions of Grateful Dead classics. In 2005, Little Brown published Phil Lesh’s memoir titled: Searching For The Sound – My Life with the Grateful Dead, which found the inventive bassist on the New York Times Best Seller List. Last fall, Image Entertainment released Phil Lesh & Friends’ first DVD release – Live at the Warfield. For Phil Lesh the relentless pursuit of improvisation is well known.
Mountain Jam re-unites Phil Lesh with guitarist Warren Haynes for what will be Phil Lesh & Friends’ only 2007 festival season appearance. Fans can expect Phil Lesh & Friends’ fearless musical exploration that will keep the bodies swaying and the feet moving.
Check above for sample tracks from Phil and Friends' upcoming live DVD/CD "Live At The Warfield".
On May 18th and 19th 2006, Phil Lesh and Friends electrified The Warfield Theater in San Francisco, CA with two nights of music that never failed to satisfy. The venerable theater had been visited many times by Phil Lesh and Friends, but never by this exact group. This group of assembled Friends combines a strong jazz background with a touch of blues, a pinch of soul, a good helping of groove, and just the right amount of jamming to keep the faithful dancing well into the early morning.
Wanted to mention Austin's guitar genius - Redd Volkeart. Check my blog but see him on you tube. He's a veteran Nashville guy and plays anything with tremendous articulation and just infinite licks. You tube stuff doesn't do him justice.
We've got to get him touring with the Dead - he runs circles around Herring, Kirchen, Kimock - all those guys.
But he sticks to the small gigs - not interested in Dead stuff.
