The band serves up inventive interpretations of Jerry Garcia, Grateful Dead and many others. They have built up a faithful following by using an approach that respects the improvisational traditions of The Dead, while exploring what can happen when individual band members bring their unique influences and interpretations into the mix.



Jaimee Tomas and Fo Show
Jaimee Tomas and Forrest Smith are two people who play music together. United in their mutual hatred of writing biographies, they spend much of their free time talking shit and passin' 'round guitar licks. It has been recommended by certain individuals that they be observed while playing songs.
