What am I doing here?

This website was created as a tribute to the music and culture of The Grateful Dead. It is a work of love and devotion. Working with one of the top illustrators in the country, John Rios, creating merch, there are tasty t-shirts, stickers, and other keepsake collector items available for you.

The Project

"Jerry's Band" was written by Richard Steinhart and is performed by Rico and the Bunker Boys. This seemingly simple song is an audio "Where’s Waldo", with 65 references to lyrics, song titles, and albums of their music. I am sure you will enjoy discovering each citation. How many can you find?

The creation of the song, the music video, and the website took considerable resources. Please enjoy the first 18 seconds of this song. Then I hope you will buy a $1.49 video ticket for the full 7 minute 58 second strange trip. In the spirit of The Deadhead community, my request is that after you download, watch and listen to “Jerry’s Band,” you do not share the link to the video, but if you enjoy it, please refer your Deadhead friends to visit the website. To listen to a free audio only version of “Jerry’s Band” click on this orange link and get transported to the YouTube channel of Rico and The Bunker Boys.

About The Design

Click on the image to see the detailed caricature hand drawing of Jerry conducting Bob, Phil, Brent, Bill, Mickey, and Pig Pen by John Rios. John is well known as one of the best rock and roll graphic artists in The United States. He began his career working with the legendary Ted Nugent, who still uses his art while touring. John’s artwork has also been displayed at the shows of Kiss, Motley Crue, Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart, Korn and many others. This logo design appears as an 11-inch diameter print on all the shirts. The printing is done with eco-friendly 4 color processed water-based ink on 100% cotton American made Gildan brand t-shirts.
