The Year Of The RatDog

Bob Weir is getting the crew together for RatDog’s first full-fledged tour since 2009. The 2014 excursion begins in February with two nights in Upper Darby, Pa. Cities on the routing include Boston, Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, Nashville and Atlanta.

RatDog’s tour plans have been put on hold the last few years while Weir spent his time on the road with Furthur. Now the rock band is ready to return to the stage with a lineup featuring the former Grateful Dead member on guitar and vocals, drummer Jay Lane, bassist Rob Wasserman, along with Jeff Chimenti on keyboards, guitarist Steve Kimock and bassist Robin Sylvester.
