Terrapin Roadshow Unveils 2026 Tour with Bill Nershi and Kyle Hollingsworth, Amy Helm, Natalie Cressman, Jennifer Hartswick, Adam MacDougall and more
Grahame Lesh and Terrapin Crossroads’ beloved Terrapin Roadshow traveling concert series will return in 2026 for another reverent, community-forward outing, this time expanded to 11 dates in five cities across the West. Lesh, son of the Grateful Dead’s legendary bassist and now the foremost torchbearer for the band’s immortal music and message, will revive their expansive songbook in amphitheaters across the West in the company of a revolving ensemble of celebrated peers.
“Last year’s Terrapin Roadshows felt like pure magic,” Lesh shared. “Every show was filled with great music and beautiful energy that reminded us how strong this community still is. It’s a powerful way to honor the legacy of the Grateful Dead while watching that spirit continue to grow and evolve. We’re so excited to bring those vibes back on the road and gather with Terrapin Nation again in 2026.”
The Terrapin Roadshow will make its first stop of 2026 at Monte Rio, Calif.’s Monte Rio Amphitheater, where Lesh and his Midnight North bandmate Elliot Peck, Jackie Greene, Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz, Jeremy Hoenig, Mookie Siegel and the Wolf Pack strings and horns will perform on May 30 and 31. After just under a month away, the caravan will roll on to San Rafael, Calif.’s Forest Meadows Amphitheatre from July 24-26, with Lesh assembling a new supergroup of longtime collaborators Nicki Bluhm, Stu Allen, Reed Mathis, Barry Sless, Tim Bluhm and Greg Loiacono.
On Aug. 1 and 2, the Terrapin Roashow will celebrate Jerry Garcia’s birthday with a double-header at Grants Pass, Ore.’s Marjorie Holzgang Concert Bowl featuring Lesh, Scott Law, Garrett Deloian, Holly Bowling, Danny Luehring, Kanika Moore and Sunshine (Garcia) Becker. The tour’s Aug. 15 and 16 stops at Truckee, Calif.’s Salty Gebhardt Amphitheater will tap Lesh family friend Amy Helm to form the Terrapin Helm Ramble Band, featuring Lesh, Helm, The Helm Family Midnight Ramble Band, Allen, Mathis, Adam MacDougall, Natalie Cressman and Jennifer Hartswick. Finally, the ensemble will cap off their live series with two nights at Glenwood Springs, Colo.’s Two Rivers Park, welcoming local legends Bill Nershi and Kyle Hollingsworth to join Lesh, Peck, Ross James and Mark Levy.
