Bob Weir and Wolf Bros, the Grateful Dead guitarist’s new trio featuring drummer Jay Lane (Furthur, RatDog) and legendary upright bassist, producer, and current Blue Note Records president Don Was, officially opened their inaugural tour last night at Grand Sierra Resort & Casino in Reno, NV. While the new trio made their first onstage appearance as part of a San Francisco benefit show on Saturday with help from Mickey Hart and John Mayer, the Reno performance marked their first official show under the Wolf Bros banner. With a full month ahead of them on the road, the nationwide anticipation is at an all-time high.
Today, nugs.tv announced that they will be teaming up with Bob Weir and Wolf Bros to provide webcasts of the group’s October 31st and November 1st shows at Chicago’s The Chicago Theatre. You can pre-order HD and SD live streams here, and tune in at 8 pm ET on nugs.tv.
Bob Weir and Wolf Bros’ tour will make stops in various markets across the country, including shows in Los Angeles, CA; Santa Barbara, CA; Portland, OR; Seattle, WA; Missoula, MT; Salt Lake City, UT; Albuquerque, NM; and Denver, CO.
