About the band

Cris Jacobs

Baltimore, MD

Cris Jacobs is a Baltimore singer, songwriter and guitarist — the city's magazine crowned him its king of rock 'n' roll — who played bluegrass with Smooth Kentucky, fronted The Bridge from 2001 to 2011, and has led his own band since, mixing rock, soul, Americana and funk. He has played alongside Phil Lesh. His Dead dates are album nights billed by the record, as in Cris Jacobs presents The Workingman's Dead, the 1970 album that turned the band toward American roots songwriting; the rest of his calendar is his own music, and only the nights billed as the Dead's are listed here.
