![]() Todd Lena - lead guitar & vocalsTodd is just grateful for the awesome ride that he enjoyed while rockin' with Mark and the gang since "Dead Jam" first began back in late 2004.Todd used to play in the Boston area with the GD tribute called "Electric Hummus" which had its start back in the mid 1990's outdoors in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. His Stratocaster has been modified with hardware to give a similar sound like the The Tiger guitar played by the late Jerry Garcia. Thanks to Dave Fontaine of RI for his help over the years upgrading Todd's gear. Todd is very grateful to have had the opportunity to have both worked and played with Mark Munzer on keyboards and Charlie Norman as manager along with many other area musicians. Listen to Todd play and sing on the Dead Jam live track of the JGB song: Like A Road.mp3 with Todd - lead guitar, Dan Sullivan - rhythm guitar, Mark Munzer - keyboards, Brian Girard - bass, Mike "Scooch" Zecco - drums. Song recorded by Roger Merritt from the Attic at Union Street, Newton, MA on Friday June 23, 2006. |
With a gift to both inspire and motivate, Charlie Norman has been very kind
to share his time toward helping Dead Jam to be the best it can be. Charlie has years of experience with the
jam band scene, likes Moe and WSP.

From the first Dead Jam show at Jamspot back in March of 2005, Michael has been
very cool about obtaining the best cameras and electronic gear for making quality productions
for DVD, MPEG video and photography. |
Over the years, Larry has written and played several rockin' originals
with Ol' Brown shoe, with The Knot and he's also successfully produced CD's of
musical performances with several of Boston's finest musicians. |
On stage, Jack is a tremendous drummer while keeping the beat. Because of his years back in the day
playing with The Knot, and today with Ol' Brown Shoe, Jack has a great feel for the music of the
Grateful Dead. |
We were lucky to find Dan's phone number back in the Spring of 2005 and we were psyched that
he was up for playin' some live Dead. |
John is "Dr. Bottom" on bass. |

Having a solid history of
touring with Grateful Dead all around the nation,
today Ben is a fan of Dead Jam and is also a very good friend. Ben helped Todd to resolve some outside issues early in 2006
and as a result, Dead Jam went on to complete the year with a fine string of shows with a sell-out crowd
in November '06 at the Attic Bar at Union Street in Newton, MA. |
