Spud Boy All Stars

Spud Boy All-Stars is an Austin, Texas act devoted specifically to the Jerry Garcia Band rather than to the Grateful Dead proper. The lineup is a local all-star draw — Joe Faulhaber on guitar and vocals, Trevor Nealon on keys and vocals, Keith Laudieri on drums, Jenna Watters and Erin Stein on vocals, with Bobby Perkins and Evan Bozarth both credited on bass across different listings. Between them they come out of Deadeye, The Watters, HeartByrne and Touch of Trey. They have been playing steadily since at least 2022, with a regular circuit of Austin rooms: The Far Out Lounge, Radio/East, The Liberty and 29th Street Ballroom. Live recordings of their sets are up on the Internet Archive and YouTube.
