Michael-Louis Smith, widely known as a jazz instrumentalist and composer, got his start as a young teenager singing the songs of Robert Hunter and Bob Dylan in places such as Caffe Lena in upstate New York. Inspired by a live performance of the band on his 14th Birthday at Madison Square Garden In 1991, he credits Garcia and the Dead among his earliest and most potent inspirations to become a musician.

Smith will be joined by longtime friend and collaborator Dave Berger on drums, electric bass virtuoso Mike Roninson, Chris Carballeira on keys, and Dan Gerken on guitar.
