  • A tribute to Phil Lesh, founding member and bassist/vocalist for the Grateful Dead, who had a unique style of playing a six-string bass guitar. His career kicked off when he joined his friend Jerry Garcia in The Warlocks, which ultimately morphed into the Grateful Dead in the mid-1960's. Many consider Phil as an innovator on the bass. Phil wrote or co-wrote many of the Grateful Dead's songs throughout the years. He was inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 as a member of the band. After the Grateful Dead disbanded, Phil continued his career in the band's offshoots; The Other Ones, The Dead, Furthur and Phil Lesh and Friends. Phil passed away on October 25, 2024.
