The Grateful Bluegrass Boys

The Grateful Bluegrass Boys perform on the Grand Lawn at Valhalla Tahoe at the Tallac Historic Site on Wednesday, Aug. 11 at 4:30 p.m.  The band plays the Grateful Dead and other classic rock through a bluegrass lens, featuring members of Hot Buttered Rum, Achilles Wheel, Dusty Green Bones Band and Poor Man’s Whiskey. Their first CD includes songs by Paul Simon, Willlie Nelson, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Nash, The Eagles and the Grateful Dead. While the name of the band references the Grateful Dead, gratitude is at the core of the band. They feel incredibly fortunate to play music for people all over the country and they keep their setlists fresh and diverse. Recent shows include music by Ray Charles, Dire Straits, Neil Young, the Cars and others.
