Grahame Lesh has confirmed a round of fall dates with Grahame Lesh & Friends. The run will kick off with a trio of Massachusetts Halloween weekend shows—October 29 at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, followed by October 30–31 at The Muse in Nantucket. Then, from November 12–14, the project will return to Los Angeles for a three-night stand at Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. The tour will head South from there for gigs at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC, on December 18, and Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on December 19. As previously reported, Lesh will also ring in 2027 with a two-night New Year’s celebration at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale, FL, on December 30–31, where Grahame Lesh & Friends will be joined by Kanika Moore and the Wolfpack.
Throughout the summer, Lesh has been marking appearances as part of the Terrapin Roadshow, the traveling concert series inspired by the spirit and community of Terrapin Crossroads. The 2026 Roadshow kicked off May 30–31 in Monte Rio, CA, before traveling to San Rafael, Grants Pass, Oregon, and most recently Truckee, CA, where Lesh was joined by Amy Helm and the Helm Family Ramble for the Terrapin Helm Family Ramble, celebrating the musical histories of the Lesh and Helm families. This weekend, the Roadshow will make its first-ever Colorado stop at Two Rivers Park in Glenwood Springs from August 22–23, with Bill Nershi and Kyle Hollingsworth of The String Cheese Incident, Ross James, Mark Levy, Elliott Peck, and additional special guests joining the party
The musician has been busy elsewhere as well. On the 31st anniversary of Garcia’s death, Lesh played a special Grahame Lesh & Friends show at Garcia’s Chicago on August 9. During the performance, he pulled out Garcia’s 1976 signature Travis Bean TB500 #11 guitar and closed the set with “Black Muddy River” and “Box of Rain,” the final two songs performed by the Grateful Dead at their last concert at Chicago’s Soldier Field in 1995. Lesh also sat in with Little Feat at Oakland, CA’s Fox Theatre on August 10. He emerged at the end of the group’s first set for “Shakedown Street” and then returned during the second set for Little Feat catalog staples “Willin’” and “Spanish Moon” as well as the Dead’s “Franklin’s Tower.” He remained on stage as the night came to a close with “Dixie Chicken,” “Tennessee Jed” and “Feats Don't Fail Me Now.” Miko Marks also sat in on “Willin’” while Justin Phipps and Cyril Wright emerged for Little Walter and His Jukes’ “Mellow Down Easy.”
