i can’t recall how i first heard about this band featuring grahame lesh (phil’s son), but i was intrigued and bought their newest release. they are frequently found playing at papa lesh’s terrapin crossroads bar, and also appear in various iterations backing him on tours. a good way to get noticed, and i think they have enough talent on their own to be worthy of some consideration. this might be a stretch, but i hear a cross between tedeschi trucks and donna the buffalo, with superior vocals to both. individually elliot peck may not be up to susan tedeschi or tara nevins (yet), but she is damn good and is able to harmonize with grahame and alex jordan in a way that summons early crosby/stills/nash. see the cover of ‘helplessly hoping’ below. a band to keep an eye on, i think, and a decent addition to a summer playlist.

surprised the dog didn’t add a fourth voice. he looks pretty happy.
