Keller Williams' Grateful Grass

Grateful Grass is Keller Williams' Grateful Dead project, which he describes on his own site as loose interpretations of Dead songs done in a bluegrass style, born of mixing his fascination with the songbook and his love of psychedelic improvisational bluegrass. The lineup rotates: past collaborators include Keith Moseley and Michael Kang of String Cheese Incident, Jeff Austin, Bill Nershi, Vince Herman, Sam Grisman, Love Canon, The Hillbenders and The Infamous Stringdusters. The 2008 Fillmore recording REX (Live at the Fillmore) sent all proceeds to the Rex Foundation. Williams is based in Fredericksburg, Virginia and tours nationally; Deadwood Jam's own lineup page has him on the Saturday, 19 September 2026 bill at Outlaw Square.
