The Waybacks

The Waybacks were formed in the late 1990's in San Francisco. The original line-up was an acoustic trio comprising Glenn Houston, Chojo Jacques and Stevie Coyle. The group then expanded to a quintet with a line-up of James Nash, Chojo Jacques, Stevie Coyle, Chris Kee and Chuck Hamilton. Joe Kyle replaced Chris Kee on bass in 2001. Jacques left the group in 2004 and for a year or more they had a series of guest fiddlers. In 2006 fiddler and mandolinist Warren Hood joined the group.

The Waybacks have performed and recorded sporadically during the 2010's. The current line-up is James Nash, Warren Hood, Joe Kyle and Chuck Hamilton.

Bob Weir sat in with the Waybacks on a number of occasions in the mid-2000's most notably at a couple of bluegrass festivals in 2006 where the group was informally billed as Weir and The Waybacks and informally referred to by fans as The Weirbacks. For more information see the Weir and The Waybacks page.
