As Ive mentioned Im a pretty new found deadhead, but grew up at festivals hearing all this amazing live music and was never very good at remembering the name of a band unless I acctually managed to make a whole set. Anyways Im starting to get a good Idea of what I really like but I want some new stuff to jam out too that I haven't heard or been turned on to yet. And Everyone always likes to share their favorite bands. I love Furthur and the dead but I like to hear other bands that have their own style and everything but know how to keep you bouncing and spinning around

A few Ive grown fond of

Ryan Montbleau Band
String Cheese Incident
Max Creek
Cabinet

fishbone
p-funk all-stars
burnin' river band
ziggy marley and the melody makers

Furthur (of course)
Cabinet
MiZ
Jam Stampede
RRE
Jackie Greene
Jemimah Puddleduck

Oh, Garcia Grass, too. Any band with Mike Mizwinski is great live.

My dead spawn daughter who looks about your age, ifn' that is you in the photo, turned me on to John Butler Trio last year. Me and Mom just scored tix for Sherman Theater woooohoooo. We can't make any Furthur summer shows, so we are excited about that.

My kid also loves Lotus, Bassnectar, and Dr. Dog.

I love Animal Liberation Orchestra.


I must also double down on what Confusion Prince said about Miz. He plays lots in PA.

wow, how to even compile a list theres just too many. Lol.
