// Oteil & FriendsTwo-time Grammy-winning bassist Oteil Burbridge has been touring and recording for over three decades. He was a founding member of the early 90s southern jazz-fusion group Col. Bruce Hampton & the Aquarium Rescue Unit with Jimmy Herring, Jeff Sipe and others that had a lasting and influential impact on artists for decades to follow. That led him to join the iconic southern rock group The Allman Brothers Band as their final bass player during their latter day lineup in the 1990s and into the 2000s. During his tenure with The Brothers, they earned two Grammy nominations for best rock instrumental in 2003 and in 2004. In 2012, Oteil received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for his 15 year contribution to The Allman Brothers Band as the longest running bassist in the band’s history.
In 2015 Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart joined forces with John Mayer to form “Dead & Company” with Burbridge on bass and Jeff Chimenti on keys. Dead & Company has headlined ten tours from 2015 to 2023 and played legendary stadiums across the country including Folsom Field, Autzen Stadium, Oracle Park, Citi Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. Beginning in May of 2024, Oteil will be joining Dead & Company as they begin a residency at Sphere Las Vegas, consisting of 24 shows in the summer of 2024.
“Oteil & Friends”, which features a rotating cast of all-star musicians (including Melvin Seals, John Kadlecik, Tom Guarana, Jeff Chimenti, John Morgan Kimock, Jennifer Hartswick, Jason Crosby, Natalie Cressman, Lamar Williams Jr., and more) began touring in 2017, and continue to play shows and festivals today. In September of 2023, Oteil released Lovely View of Heaven, an emotional tribute to the musical legacy of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter while carving a unique path of its own.
In May 2024, Oteil released “Love and War” recorded live at the 2024 Dead Ahead Festival in Cancun, Mexico. This new single, co-written with Lamar Williams Jr., features Melvin Seals, Duane Betts, Jason Crosby, Tom Guarna, John Kimock, Jennifer Hartswick, Natalie Cressman and Ryan Zoidis.
