  • Legacy and the Living Scene: the Grateful Dead at 60

    In this episode of So Many Roads, I travel to San Francisco for the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary. From a grassroots Dead night in Berkeley to a massive pier show, Jerry Day in McLaren Park, and a visit to the Grateful Dead house, I explore the tension between legacy and the living scene. Along the way, I meet musicians, fans, and friends who are keeping the spirit alive—sometimes in intimate ways, sometimes on a grand stage.

  • Bob Weir at The Royal Albert Hall: An American Weir Wolf in London (Part 2)

    In Part Two of my London Dead adventure, I head to the iconic Royal Albert Hall to see Bobby Weir & the Wolf Bros live. I take you with me—through the crowd, into the show, and into conversations with fellow fans along the way. This follows Part One, where I visited historic Grateful Dead locations around London and connected with the city’s local Deadhead community. From the streets to the stage, it’s all about the music, the people, and the magic of the moment.

  • An American Weir Wolf in London (Part 1): Walking in the Grateful Dead’s London Footsteps

    In this episode, I fly to London to see Bob Weir and The Wolf Bros play the Royal Albert Hall 🛫🎸—but before the show, I set out to walk in the Grateful Dead’s London footsteps.

    This is Part 1 of a two-part travelogue. In this episode, I visit key spots tied to the Dead’s brief but fascinating UK history: the Roundhouse in Camden (site of their canceled 1968 shows), the legendary Lyceum Theatre (where Europe ’72 reached its peak), and more.

    I wrap the night with a Dead cover band in South London 🎶🌙—proof that the spirit of the Dead is still alive across the pond.

    Whether you’re a Bob Weir fan, a lifelong Deadhead, or just someone who loves music, history, and good stories, this one’s for you.

    👉 Subscribe for Part 2, where I catch Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros live at the Royal Albert Hall, and meet some friends along the way.

  • How She Won a Signed Custom Bob Weir Guitar!— Hillary’s Story

    In this episode, I sit down with Hillary, a dedicated Deadhead, who shares the once-in-a-lifetime story of how she won a signed guitar from Dead & Co. But that’s not all — she also had a surprise encounter with Phil Lesh, as well as a story of how she came to possess a playbill from a magical, famous show. 

    If you love fan stories, music history, or the magic of the Grateful Dead community, you’ll love this episode.

  • Getting on the Bus with Dave: Jerry’s Gear, an Autograph Story, and a Deadhead Origin Tale

    In this debut episode, I sit down with my longtime friend—and our show’s producer—Dave, to talk about how he got on the bus, why Jerry Garcia’s guitar tone still captivates him, and what makes the Grateful Dead more than just a band. We break down some of Jerry’s legendary gear, including his effects and tone from the later years, and we take a few side trips into our own concert-going history, including how he got Jerry Garcia's autograph. 

    This one sets the tone for what this podcast is all about: discovery, curiosity, and deep appreciation for the music, the moments, and the people we’ve met along the way.
