Schwagstock is coming up on its 50th event, and there are no signs that the band is going to stop producing these festivals anytime soon. In 2021, The Schwag is celebrating its 30th anniversary. The band has seen different stages, different crowds, and even different lineups, but there is a continuous theme of dedication to the job of creating a memorable experience at every show. Current band members include Jimmy Tebeau on Bass Guitar & Vocals, Mike Belaska on Guitar & Vocals, Robert “Frisbee” Coleman on Keyboards & Vocals, and Dave Clark on Drums. The Schwag band is now stronger than ever and is on a perpetual tour performing a different show every night of high energy organic interpretations of the Grateful Dead’s music.
