"To Jerry: what a light you are that I could bask in your shadow." - John Mayer


"This tour was magical. This band flourished in so many ways. To learn each others' moves as people and musicians, so as to support each other on stage and off made every night a beautiful adventure. I grew up a lone wolf in a bedroom practicing my guitar, and all I ever really craved was community. The community I feel now between my brothers and sisters in this band and crew, and the connection between everyone in the audience from the front row to the back, to those who listened from couches and cars, to those who come up to me and say more with their eyes than their words in their attempt to tell me what this means to them - I will never forget it, because I will never stop feeling it. We're together now. I'm honored to be one of many musicians in the larger community of the GDEU (Grateful Dead Extended Universe.) And it must be said - to Jerry: what a light you are that I could bask in your shadow. ❤️⚡️🌹💀 love you all.." -John Mayer

Cold Rain & Snow - Dead and Company (2015)

     Sorry, I'm obsessed with the musical union of John Mayer and the remaining members of the Grateful Dead. Truth is, I underestimated Mayer's talents and pegged him as an arrogant, albeit handsome Pop Star. He is a truly gifted musician, guitar master, and exceptional songwriter.
  
     Nothing is more satisfying than a little redemption, and my opinion of this man has done a 180. He has tapped into the magic of the Grateful Dead and is recreating it for Deadheads alike, including the younger generation of fans who never got to see Jerry Garcia live in action. It is amazing to see Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann with an infusion of chemistry playing off of Mayer and Burbridge. Words cannot express my gratitude, excitement and appreciation for this truly magical musical experience I get to be a part of.
