The Schwag was created in 1992 by Jimmy Tebeau and Tracy Lowe. In their own words, The Schwag is "a band out to preserve and perpetuate the vibe and music made popular by the Grateful Dead." The band has played over 1500 shows since then, in at least 18
U.S. states. Notable guest performers have included
Mike Gordon,
Butch Trucks,
Chuck Berry,
Vince Welnick,
Melvin Seals, Mike and Liz from
Rusted Root,
Merl Saunders,
Keller Williams, Fred Tackett of
Little Feat,
Johnnie Johnson, and
Devon Allman. The other members of the band arrive and depart as conditions dictate. The lineup usually consists of Jimmy; a guitar player (such as
Tim Moody(current),
Shawn Guyot,
Darrell Lea,
Brad Sarno,
Tracy Lowe,
Nick Romanoff); a keyboard/organ player (such as
Nate Carpenter(current) Jack Kirkner (now in
Honeytribe); and a drummer (such as Tony Antonelli (current), Dave Klein, Dino English)
In 2005, the Missouri House of Representatives passed a resolution applauding Jimmy Tebeau for his "entreprenuerial spirit and creative skills".
[1] A plaque commemorating the resolution was presented to Jimmy at a 2005 Schwagstock.
Schwagstock is a music festival that takes place over the course of a weekend in an outdoor setting, and is intended to carry on the vibe of the
Woodstock festival. Food, trinkets, glassware, carvings, beads, blankets, tie-dye clothing, and many other handmade and
hippie-appeal items are available for sale by individual vendors. Attendees are allowed to camp anywhere they wish on the campgrounds, and may choose to set up tents or to camp in their vehicles instead. Music is scheduled such that there are several overlapping live music acts between the main stage and the sideshow(s) from early afternoon until well after midnight. Past Schwagstocks have been held at Lesterville, Leasburg and Bagnell Dam in Missouri, and in Iowa, but as of 2004 all Schwagstocks were held at Camp Zoe in
Shannon County, MO.
