About

Old Head began in 2018 when Jeremy Reichwein started gathering friends to create a loose collective of musicians that love this early Grateful Dead music. The intent was always to have fun exploring a period of the Dead that, while full of songs we all love, had largely been forgotten. Over the next few years the wonderful menagerie of musicians slowly evolved through epic basement jams and hootenannies to distill into the core line-up today:

• Jeremy Reichwein, guitar
• Andy Harden, bass
• Todd Pafford, guitar
• Eric Buchner, keyboards
• Larry Byrne, keyboards
• Terry Collins, drums
• Mike Kirby, drums

"The phenomenal thing, for me, is how this music so naturally leads us on a truly improvisational journey. Each performance a new conversation between the musicians, the music, and the audience. There is a very real organic magic that takes control and it's a blessing to be a part of it." -- Todd Pafford
