Dead & Company Announce Summer 2017 Tour
In case you missed them this year, Dead & Company have announced a new tour for 2017. “The Music Never Stops” tour will be a cross-country trek that kicks off May 27th in Las Vegas.
The band, which is anchored by bass guru Oteil Burbridge, was formed by Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, and Bill Kreutzmann after the “Fare Thee Well” concerts in 2015. The rest of the band is filled out by guitarist/vocalist John Mayer and keyboardist Jeff Chimenti.
“I’m already chomping at the bit and it is still six months away,” Burbridge shared on Facebook. “Can’t wait to see you guys next summer!”
