Truckin’: An All-Star Salute to The Grateful Dead is a band of not only the best players in the area but of musicians who love the music with a passion.

Both have driven many Dead projects over their careers and Chris considers Jerry Garcia to be a huge influence on his style.

JT Bates is a premier jazz drummer in the region and is a proud fan of the music. Just like The Dead, this project features two drummers and a “Donna” female voice.
