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."
