Skeleton Crewe

SKELETON CREWE 

ROB BARRACO, BARRY SLESS, STEPHEN INGLIS, PETE SEARS & JAY LANE

“This collaboration represents a unique moment in time, where five distinct musical paths converge” ~ Rob Barraco

This collaboration brings together many musical traditions: Inglis's mastery of Hawaiian slack key guitar (he's a recipient of the prestigious Ki Hōʻalu Legacy Award), Sless's pioneering pedal steel work that has graced stages with Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, Barraco's sophisticated keyboard artistry that earned him a place in The Dead's lineup (an experience that preceded nearly two decades holding the keyboardist chameleon role within Dark Star Orchestra), the thrilling, muscular work of Pete Sears on bass, and the rock solid, grooving improvisational drumming of Jay Lane.

Each performance, Skeleton Crewe promises to offer high level artistry hosting an intimate evening of original compositions (many of which were written by Robert Hunter in collaboration with Rob Barraco), Grateful Dead interpretations, and dynamic improvisations that span genres from traditional Hawaiian to psychedelic Americana.
