Phil
Lesh & Friends present There and Back Again, the
group's
eagerly-awaited studio debut album on Phil's newly created
Lapis
Music/Columbia Records label.
Phil
Lesh founded Lapis Music after thirty years as a founding
member of the Grateful Dead, and five years of playing
(as Phil Lesh & Friends) with a constantly changing
cast including some of America's finest musicians. Lapis
searches out new, vital, and uncompromising music; and
in partnership with Columbia, bring it to a wider audience.
Hoping to be personally involved as a creative advisor
with the bands on the newly-created label, Phil is honored
to join the distinguished roster of Columbia Records
artists and delighted to able to form a partnership
with Columbia to present some of the more adventurous
music being made today.
Chemistry and alchemy is apparent every time Phil Lesh
& Friends step onto a stage. And you can also hear
it on every track on There and Back Again. "I
wanted this band to make a record because I wanted to
see whether we could translate that energy that we have
live, with the onstage jamming, into compositions for
recording, which is really an art in itself."
