When Susan Tedeschi was growing up in Norwell, Mass. during the 1980s, she first heard the music of Bob Weir and the Grateful Dead performed live, albeit indirectly.

“As a teenager, I was a fan of this band called Metamorphosis,” she recalls. “They would play the Grateful Dead, along with Marshall Tucker, the Rolling Stones and some others. I wasn’t allowed to go to those kinds of concerts, but I would go see Metamorphosis and they would cover them. Then when I was 14, I was in a band and we played ‘U.S. Blues’ at a party, although I still didn’t fully get the Grateful Dead.”

That revelation came later. In the fall of 2002, Tedeschi jumped into the deep end and joined Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann the first time they toured together following the death of Jerry Garcia, performing as The Other Ones, with Rob Barraco, Jeff Chimenti and Jimmy Herring. Her relationship with Weir blossomed from there, and he would later appear with the Tedeschi Trucks Band, while she played with Wolf Bros and the collaborative group he assembled for the 2024 Dead Ahead destination event.
