BOBBY WEIR & WOLF BROS
Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros were formed in 2018 by Weir along with Don Was and Jay Lane. The band set out performing the expansive catalogue of Grateful Dead, Bobby's solo albums and more and has toured extensively throughout the U.S. The band has completed 8 full tours selling almost 300,000 tickets at headline shows including 84 sellouts. Jeff Chimenti joined the Wolf Bros around the same time the band started featuring The Wolfpack in 2020, a string and brass quintet which brings an orchestral, symphonic element to the music of the Grateful Dead and features Alex Kelly, Brian Switzer, Adam Theis, Mads Tolling and Sheldon Brown. The band is also now joined by Barry Sless on pedal steel.
Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros featuring The Wolfpack embarked on a years-in-the-making four-night run debuting ensemble performances with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in the fall of 2022. They performed again with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at Atlanta Symphony Hall for three nights in February 2023 and the Stanford Symphony Orchestra in October 2023.
Weir released Ace: 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition in 2023, which features a performance from Weir along with the Wolf Bros joined by The Wolfpack at Radio City Music Hall in celebration of his beloved debut solo album, Ace. The band played the entire album live and welcomed a number of special guests, including Tyler Childers and Brittney Spencer.
In 2022, Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros released their first ever vinyl collections of recorded material, Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros: Live in Colorado, on Third Man Records followed by Live in Colorado Vol. 2 in 2023. Both volumes feature songs recorded live at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in June 2021 and include Greg Leisz on pedal steel along with The Wolfpack.
