The South Bend, Indiana based band, The Happy Campers was formed by close friends during the mid-nineties. That iteration of the band ran for five years. Since then, the founding members played in many different bands covering a multitude of musical styles and genres.  Fast forward to now; never to be musically complacent, the time seemed appropriate to circle back to where “the campers” last left off.  Additional new members afforded the band to expound musically performing Grateful Dead and improvisational jams with passion and authenticity. With the initial vision of the band firmly in place, The Happy Campers are delighting Grateful Dead and jam-band fans playing all the classics true to form and beyond with originals in the mix.
