This resolution, passed by the Indiana House of Representatives, honors and remembers the life and cultural contributions of Robert Hall Weir, professionally known as Bob Weir. Weir was a founding member, guitarist, and vocalist of the Grateful Dead, a highly influential American band. For over sixty years, he significantly shaped American music through his unique guitar playing, songwriting, and dedication to live performances, blending genres like blues, jazz, folk, country, and rock into a distinct sound that influenced many musicians and modern music culture. The resolution acknowledges Weir's role in fostering a strong music community through his various projects, including the Grateful Dead, RatDog, Furthur, and Dead & Company, and highlights his special connection with Indiana audiences, particularly through performances at "Deer Creek." It recognizes that his music brought people together, creating a lasting legacy that resonates with Hoosiers, and expresses that he will be missed for his commitment to artistic exploration, environmental stewardship, and philanthropy. The resolution directs the Principal Clerk of the House to send copies of this memorial to Weir's family.
