Furthur St Augustine Florida 7-30-2011

Furthur is a rock band founded in 2009 by former Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. The band's lineup also includes John Kadlecik of the Dark Star Orchestra on lead guitar, Jeff Chimenti of RatDog on keyboards, and Joe Russo of the Benevento/Russo Duo on drums.[1] Percussionist Jay Lane was a member of Furthur until he left after the March 12, 2010 show to rejoin American funk metal/rock band, Primus. The band's current lineup also includes backup vocalists Sunshine Becker of the a cappella ensemble SoVoSó and Jeff Pehrson of the folk rock bands Box Set and the Fall Risk.

In 2008, for the first time in four years, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh began performing together, with a reunion of The Dead. A few months after The Dead's 2009 tour the musicians announced that they had formed a new band, Furthur (sic), with Kadlecik, Chimenti, Lane, and Russo.

The band is named after the 1939 International Harvester psychedelic multicolored bus used by novelist Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters to tour America in 1964 to attend the New York World's Fair, for the debut of Kesey's second novel, Sometimes A Great Notion. "Furthur" was the inscription on the destination placard of the bus and was also the name given to the multicolored bus. In many ways, the Furthur destination of the bus - piloted by Neal Cassady, inspiration for the character Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac's On The Road - represented the mind-set of the transition from Beat Generation culture to the more heavily drug-infused hippie culture and the LSD-based psychedelic culture, with Ken Kesey, Neal Cassady, the Merry Pranksters, and the Grateful Dead - all alumni of the Acid Tests - as ambassadors and guides on that cognitive and conceptual journey".
