Switchman Sleepin'
Switchman Sleepin' is celebrating fourteen years as a band, and like most things associated with the music of the Grateful Dead, there is no stopping this magical train. The band formed in typical hippie fashion: a few guys jamming at a backyard party in 2012 set the wheels in motion and laid down the first tracks for the evolutionary journey of one of Colorado's favorite Grateful Dead tribute bands. The band has endured many challenges, joys, and sorrows along their adventurous escapades of recreating the music of the Grateful Dead, and have had a few different variations and brought in different players along the way, each one adding their wonderful musical skills and emotions to the music. Original members Dave Wisbon on keyboards and vocals and Dave Levy on drums are joined by Angelo DeSalvo also on drums, Steven Wayne Cobb on guitar and vocals, Caleb D'Aleo on guitar and vocals, and Chuck Grewe on bass.
Switchman Sleepin' has a unique responsibility of being musical historians and preservers of one of the greatest catalogs of music ever created, and it's not something the band takes lightly. They embrace all the music has to offer and embellish its unpredictable shapes, sounds, and colors, bringing it back full circle to the massive fan base that will never fade away.
