Phil Lesh & Friends are currently in California recording material for their first studio album. The bands line-up features Lesh on bass, Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herring on guitar, John Molo on drums and Rob Barraco on keyboards. The album will be comprised primarily of new compositions. Theres a lot of material, says Haynes. Phils written a few songs by himself, a few songs with Robert Hunter and I have a couple of songs that are ready to go. I know Barraco has some material thats ready and I know Jimmy and John have some ideas floating around. Maybe we can even do some collaborating for that. Everybodys excited about it.
The band will tour with the same line-up in late March and early April. Specific dates will be announced soon.
