Formed in 1988 by Lo Faber, Aaron Maxwell, Dan Pifer, Jon Bevo, and Tom Osander, GSW played a prominent role in
the early jam band scene alongside fellow New Yorkers Blues Traveler and Spin Doctors. Veterans of the HORDE Tour
as well as runs with The Allman Brothers, Bruce Hornsby and The Black Crowes, they also released 5 albums and
performed more than 1,000 shows in their irst 11 years together.
In 1998 the band split up after playing a three night farewell engagement at the Wetlands Preserve in NYC. Selected
performances from these inal shows were compiled into the posthumous live album "Good To the Last Drop".
After almost a decade apart, GSW reunited privately in 2009 to honor the passing of an old friend and a year later
played four concerts in NYC beneiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Infrequent but memorable gatherings
continued at Bob Weir's TRI Studios, Sweetwater Music Hall, rambles with Phil Lesh at Terrapin Crossroads and Jam
Cruise. In 2013 they released a 25th anniversary box set retrospective and the documentary ilm "All The Way To
Here". The band continues to play select live shows each year and last year celebrated their 30th anniversary.
From December 2018 to May 2019, the band ‑ now spread out across the globe in New York, New Orleans and Berlin ‑
collaborated on an 8 song recording project which would become their irst studio album in more than 20 years. "This
Fine Town" was released June 4th on all streaming platforms. A signed limited edition CD will be sold at the band's nine
summer shows this year.
