The show—conducted by the Gretchen B. Kimball Director of Orchestral Studies and Associate Professor of Music at Stanford, Paul Phillips—marks the West Coast premiere of Weir’s symphony project and will be performed in two 75-minute sets.

These orchestral performances originally debuted with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center, and the band went on to play three nights with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at the Atlanta Symphony Hall. Each night the ensemble performed a completely unique set featuring hits from the expansive Grateful Dead catalogue, Bobby’s solo albums and more. Stanford Professor and Composer Dr. Giancarlo Aquilanti provided original orchestration.

Furthermore, Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros are hitting the road this September with tour stops in Charlottesville, South Burlington, Columbus, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and will join Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival 2023 for seven shows this September including Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY, Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs and more. They’ll also make their debut performance at the legendary Farm Aid in Noblesville, IN on September 23. Complete list of dates below.

The band will once again be joined by The Wolfpack, the string and brass quintet of Alex Kelly, Brian Switzer, Adam Theis, Mads Tolling and Sheldon Brown, along with Barry Sless on pedal steel performing selections from the expansive catalogue of Grateful Dead, Bobby’s solo albums and more.

Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros have released two live albums, Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros: Live in Colorado and Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros: Live in Colorado Vol. 2, to critical praise. Both volumes feature songs recorded live at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in June 2021.

The second volume received praise from Pitchfork, who raved, “he stages some of the most beloved material in the Grateful Dead’s catalog with the passion and reverence of a couple spending their 50th anniversary looking back on their wedding day,” while American Songwriter said, “Weir and the Wolfs manage to stay true to the template while also taking the music beyond any original incarnation by reinventing them in ways that find imagination and intrigue well stirred in a contemporary context.”

Weir also released Ace: 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, which features a performance from one of the band’s shows at Radio City Music Hall in celebration of his beloved debut solo album, . The band played the entire album live and welcomed a number of special guests, including Tyler Childers and Brittney Spencer.
