Bob Weir is in the spotlight of the latest installment of eTown’s web series. eTown is a non-profit who’s mission is to educate, entertain and inspire a diverse audience through music and conversation in order to create a socially responsible and environmentally sustainable world. The eTown web series shows are recorded in front of a live audience, in the eTown Hall solar powered theater in Boulder, CO.

In this episode, Bobby sit down with the eTown host Nick Forster for a brief interview that spans the origins of Weir’s new(ish) album, his childhood, Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead’s historic trip and shows in Egypt.

In addition to the interview, Bobby plays a mini-set including songs off his latest solo release such as “Blue Mountain,” “Lay My Lily Down,” and “Only a River.” Bobby also busts out an acoustic favorite, “Loose Lucy,” and then is joined by the host Nick Forster on the mandolin for “Ripple” to end the set.
