  • eTown - Special Tribute to Bob Weir

    This week at eTown, we pay special tribute to Bob Weir, who spent a lifetime shaping the sound of American music. As a founding member of the Grateful Dead and a restless creative force beyond it, his songs have carried generations through questions of freedom, community, loss, joy and the long road in between. This show features music and conversation from Bob's visit to eTown in 2017, as well as a clip of a tune he and bassist Rob Wasserman played in eTown all the way back in 1993.
