Aiko40 was a blast and the band is so very grateful for our fans, old and new, who came out to help us celebrate 40 years of honoring the music of our forebears, the Grateful Dead.

Huge thanks to CVMA, Park City Mountain Resort, Mountain Town Music and all the amazing “special guest” musicians who just rocked our world: Eric Krasno, Anders Osborne, Stanton Moore, Jason Hann, Brad Walker, Wil Blades, Alex Wasily, John Michael Bradford and our newest Aiko member and trumpeter extraordinaire, Lewis Krasno!! Much love to all and see you next year for Aiko41.

Let there be songs to fill the air 🧡

Feels Like A Stranger

Inside you're burnin', I can see clear through
Your eyes tell more than you mean them to
Lit up and flashin' like the reds and blues
Out there on the neon avenue
Well, I feel like, feel like a stranger
Well, the music's thunderin', well reckless and hot
You keep firin' glances across the room
And I can't stop wonderin' just what you got
I get the feeling I'm goin' to find out real soon, oh yeah c'mon
I feel like, I feel like, feel like a stranger
Everyone's calling me a stranger
Let's get on with the show, let's go
Yes, and the wheel, it's smoking 'round midnight
You show me a look that says, let's go
Yes, and it feels 'bout like running a red light
There ain't no point in looking behind us, no
Oh, still I feel like, feel like a stranger
You know it's going to get stranger
So I think you just know
I feel like a stranger
I feel like, feel like, feel like a stranger
I just like, just like, just like a stranger
Just, just, just, just like a stranger, stranger
Feel like a stranger
Crazy night, that's right
Feel like a stranger
Long, long, crazy, crazy night
Feel like a stranger
Long, long, crazy, crazy night
Feel like a stranger
Silky, crazy, crazy night
I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like a stranger

AIKO is a band of musical brothers forged in Nashville Tennessee in 1984 in the spirit of the great jam band masters, the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers. As with their forebears, AIKO fuses various elements of American rock, folk, psychedelia, country and bluegrass into lengthy instrumental jams. AIKO is made up of an eclectic group of musicians from around the country. The four original band members, Steve Ballenger (lead guitar/vocals), Ross Mason (drums), Ben Anderson (bass/vocals) and Ted Pattison (guitar/vocals) were joined in the late '90's by three additional musicians: Steve Krafft (lead guitar/vocals), Lance Deal (drums). Scott Fernandez (keyboards), Jessie Krafft and Michelle Yahn (vocals) joined the band after 2018. AIKO has played to crowds at bars, amphitheaters and festivals around the U.S. for the last 40 years.
