Four Lean Hounds

Shere-E-Punjab · Media, PA

Four Lean Hounds is a Philadelphia-based Grateful Dead tribute that moves between acoustic bluegrass/folk arrangements and electric, improvisation-driven jamming, built on covers rather than originals.

Sets move from intimate acoustic takes on the American Beauty/Workingman's Dead-era songbook — bluegrass, folk, and cowboy tunes stacked with three-part harmonies — into electric stretches powered by a thumping rhythm section and skillful improvisation. With playful transitions and even covers of songs the Dead themselves covered, their shows dissolve into full-blown jubilees.

Shere-E-PunjabShere-E-Punjab is an intimate Indian restaurant on State Street that transforms into a lively live music room most nights of the week. With a capacity of around 70, guests can reserve a table for dinner and craft drinks, then enjoy an up-close evening of music — from weekly jazz jams to weekend rock, reggae, and tribute bands — all in a warm, casual dining-room atmosphere.
