Four Lean Hounds is a unique, Philadelphia-based Grateful Dead tribute band that can be seen playing at parties, bars, and weddings. By portraying some of the preciously crafted Hunter/Garcia/Weir/Barlow gems in their most natural acoustic setting, this four-piece band combines bluegrass, folk and cowboy tunes while mixing three-part harmonies showcasing the soft and sweet American Beauty/Workingman’s Dead-era.

With sets typically dissolving into a full blown foot stomping, knee slappin’ hoedown of epic proportions, the Four Lean Hounds has an eye for improvisation that transports a crowd through the vast spectrum of classics and covers performed by the Grateful Dead.
