BOBBY WEIR

Weir’s contributions to American music have earned him widespread acclaim. As a founding member of the seminal American band Grateful Dead, he has played a central role in shaping the sound and culture of rock music – not only helping define the sound of a generation but continuing to influence artists and audiences for more than five decades.

In 2024, Weir was honored as a Kennedy Center Honors recipient, with the Grateful Dead inducted into the institution’s 47th class. In 2025 the band was named MusiCares Persons of the Year, raising a record-breaking amount to support MusiCares’ mission of providing critical health and human services to music professionals in need.

Weir has also been recognized with a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award, is an inductee of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and is a recipient of both the Les Paul Spirit Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association.
