Dead & Company at Jiffy Lube Live

The Dead & Company has been around since 2015. The band is composed of Grateful Dead co-founder Bob Weir and former members: Bill Kreutzmann on drums, Oteil Burbridge on bass, and Jeff Chimenti on keyboards. Grammy Award-winning artist John Mayer serves as the band’s frontman. He was invited to join the band after he and Weir performed together at the Late Late Show. The pair developed a friendship and musical connection. Since Grateful Dead’s disbanded, Deadheads (a.k.a. Grateful Death fans) had to settle for revivals from former members. However, Dead & Company is more than just a partial Grateful Dead reunion.

The band consists of almost all members plus Mayer. The band has been described as a “retrospective supergroup” by some music critics. Although Mayer came from a blues and pop-rock roots, his time with Dead & Company has resonated well with Deadheads. But unlike other supergroups who would get together for a time and become inactive after a few years, Dead & Company has been relentlessly touring since 2015, despite Mayer’s extremely successful solo career. “I will never close the door on Dead & Company, ever,” Mayer said during an interview. “I think as long as there’s a desire to do it, I know how to carve time out. It’s always going to be worth doing. I will do Dead & Company as long as fans want it and as long as it feels like there’s something on the table to try to get right and explore.”

Today, Dead & Company is one of the most sought-after touring bands in the country. A purely live band, Dead & Company has yet to release a studio album. That’s why fans who are keen on experiencing the band’s music must see them perform live or settle for live recordings of their shows. Don’t be the latter!
