Bio
Philip Chapman Lesh: bassist, trained on classical trumpet, no rock experience whatsoever when Garcia handed him a Fender Jazz in 1965. Played bass like a lead instrument, full chordal runs, walking up against Kreutzmann's drums. Wrote Box of Rain about his dying father; that was about all he wrote for the band, but it was enough. After Jerry he ran Phil Lesh & Friends in Marin for two decades. He died on October 25, 2024.
