What started as three guys getting together just to see if they could ever make Stash sound anything like it ought to has turned into the Bay Area's only Phish Tribute Band.

Even if there weren't a crowd around, Chum (a name the band chose to reflect their humble approach to its mission), would still be playing every week in their studio, debating intricate parts, fine-tuning tone, and sweating out improvisational exercises in order to better understand how their musical heroes do what they do so well.

San Francisco-based tribute band, The Eleven, draws on nearly a century of collective musical talent in its precise approach to the legendary music of the Grateful Dead. Through use of changing gear, sounds, vocals and dynamics, The Eleven is known for highly authentic concert performances that reproduce the sound, feel and vibe of specific eras in the Grateful Dead catalog, often down to a particular year and month.
