- About Skeleton Krewe -

The worlds of Hawaiian slack key guitar, psychedelic pedal steel, masterful keyboard, bass & drum work converge as five virtuosos of the jam band scene coalesce to create the Skeleton Krewe!

The group’s formation traces back to January 2024, when Sless and Inglis first joined forces for a one-off performance. The chemistry was immediate and undeniable and the duo’s successful California shows caught the attention of keyboard virtuoso Rob Barraco, who joined forces with Inglis during a Dark Star Orchestra show at the Hawaii Theatre in April 2024. The natural musical connection between all three players led to the formation of Skeleton Krewe Trio which in turn led to adding Barry’s longtime musical partners Pete Sears & Jay Lane on bass & drums.

This collaboration brings together many musical traditions: Inglis’s mastery of Hawaiian slack key guitar (he’s a recipient of the prestigious Ki Hōʻalu Legacy Award), Sless’s pioneering pedal steel work that has graced stages with Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, Barraco’s sophisticated keyboard artistry that earned him a place in The Dead’s lineup (an experience that preceded nearly two decades holding the keyboardist chameleon role within Dark Star Orchestra), the dynamic improvisational work of Pete Sears on bass, and the solid improvisational drumming of Jay Lane.

Each performance promises to offer high level artistry hosting an intimate evening of original compositions (many of which were written by Robert Hunter in collaboration with Barraco), Grateful Dead interpretations, and dynamic improvisations that span genres from traditional Hawaiian to psychedelic Americana.
