Furthur is a recreational vehicle and music project associated with the band Grateful Dead. Formed in 2009, it features former members of the band, including Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, who perform songs from the Grateful Dead catalog and original material. The project aims to continue the spirit of the original band while exploring new musical directions.
The name "Furthur" is derived from the bus used by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters during their adventures in the 1960s. This bus, named Furthur, symbolizes the counterculture movement and the quest for exploration and freedom.
