The ‘Dudes’ met while playing at a weekly jam session in the Manchester, Vermont area. We quickly found common ground in our love of Grateful Dead music and, after only a handful of sessions, discovered how well our complementary talents fit together.

Jake brings mastery on acoustic and electric guitar and mandolin, and Tom holds down the rhythm on acoustic guitar. Both sing with passion and love of the material, borne out of lifelong fandom and attendance at hundreds of Dead and related concerts.
