Steve Eaton & The Grateful Dudes

The Grateful Dudes bring 4 lead vocalists together for a unique blend of blues, jazz, Americana, funk, classic rock, country and soul. It takes a special musician to achieve commercial success, artistic respect, and corporate recognition—and an even rarer human being to come out of it all with the nickname “Everyone’s Friend.” Singer-songwriter Steve Eaton is an Idaho gem: a Governor’s Award recipient for his contributions to the arts, a favorite among music fans statewide, and quite possibly the coolest guy in the room. As a songwriter, his work has been recorded by Art Garfunkel, The Carpenters, The Righteous Brothers, Glen Campbell, and Anne Murray, and he’s released music as a recording artist with Capitol Records and RCA Records. His career has taken him around the world, including headline performances at the Taichung Jazz Festival in Taiwan and the Bing Crosby Celebrity Golf Tournament for crowds of more than 10,000. Backed by The Grateful Dudes, Eaton leads what is often described as an Idaho supergroup—five of the state’s top musicians, four of whom are lead vocalists. Together they deliver a personal, genre-spanning mix of blues, jazz, Americana, funk, classic rock, country, and soul, shaped by decades of experience performing across the U.S. and overseas.
