Guitarist and bandleader Grahame Lesh will officially open his summer 2026 touring season with the revival of the Terrapin Roadshow alongside an extensive lineup of collaborative ensemble projects. The traveling concert series begins with a two-night run on May 30 and 31 at the Monte Rio Amphitheater in California. From there, the tour moves through outdoor venues and amphitheaters across Northern California, Oregon, and Colorado.
The 2026 edition of the Terrapin Roadshow will utilize rotating ensembles and a diverse roster of special guests. Confirmed artists appearing throughout the summer include Jackie Greene, Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz, Elliott Peck, Amy Helm, Scott Law, Bill Nershi, Stu Allen, Nicki Bluhm, Kanika Moore, and Holly Bowling. Midnight North and AJ Lee & Blue Summit are also scheduled for appearances, while Little Feat founding member Bill Payne will join the tour for an August 23 stop in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
Lesh is balancing the roadshow dates with a variety of parallel musical projects, including performances with Grahame Lesh & Friends, Midnight North, and the Terrapin Family Band. His summer schedule also highlights a three-night duo run with Daniel Donato at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, New York, a trio set with Warren Haynes and Donato at the Hudson River Music Festival, and several appearances with the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration.
The upcoming summer performances follow a highly productive spring window where Lesh excavated rare material from his family’s musical catalog. His recent live sets reintroduced “Equinox,” a song written by his father, Phil Lesh, in the 1970s for the Grateful Dead that never made it into the band’s live repertoire. Lesh also debuted “Shaman’s Song,” a collaborative writing piece completed alongside his father and his brother, Brian Lesh.
