In January 2024, a mutual friend connected Hawaii-born, Grammy-nominated slack key and electric guitarist Stephen Inglis (toured and recorded with Hawaiian legend, Dennis Kamakahi and played with Grateful Dead drummer, Bill Kreutzmann) for a one off gig with renowned pedal steel/ electric guitarist, Barry Sless (Bobby Weir and Wolf Bros, Phil Lesh and Friends, David Nelson Band, Moonalice, etc.). Right away, it was clear that this was just the start of something special. The duo immediately began booking shows in California and beyond.
Fast forward to April 2024, when keyboardist Rob Barraco (Phil Lesh & Friends, The Dead, Dark Star Orchestra, etc.) sat in on Stephen’s opening set for Dark Star Orchestra at the Hawaii Theater in Honolulu. One song into their soundcheck, both Barraco and Inglis decided that they would collaborate as a trio with their mutual friend, Barry Sless. Longtime friends and musical collaborators, Barry and Rob had already talked about Inglis and Slessʻ recent duo shows where they set sail with traditional Hawaiian songs, Inglis's originals, favorites from the Grateful Dead and Dylan songbooks and much more, to a rapturous reception of music loving crowds in California and Hawaii. After the Hawaii Theatre show, it was clear that adding Barraco's keyboard virtuosity to this delicious musical stew, was an idea too good to pass on. Hence, the Skeleton Krewe Trio was born, adding to the repertoire songs Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter co-wrote with Rob for his solo CD “When We All Come Home.”
The trio then expanded to a full band with a rotation of amazing players including bassist Pete Sears (Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna, Rod Stewart, David Nelson Band, Moonalice, etc.), drummer Jay Lane (Dead and Company, Bobby Weir and Wolf Bros, Ratdog, Primus, etc.) drummer/percussionist Wally Ingram (David Lindley, Sheryl Crow, David Nelson Band, etc.) and keyboardist Mookie Siegel (David Nelson Band, Moonalice, etc.).
Watch for multiple iterations of this thrilling collective in 2025 and beyond.
