Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has revealed the lineup for his ‘Dave Grohl and Friends’ supergroup that will perform ‘Play’ on Saturday night.
The lineup includes:
Dave Grohl: drums
Greg Kurstin: keyboards

Chris Chaney: bass
Drew Hester: percussion
Grohl played with Alain Johannes in Them Crooked Vultures. Johannes was also a member of Queens of the Stone Age and Chris Cornell Band. Chris Chaney is the bassist of Jane’s Addiction, Barrett Jones recorded some of Dave Grohl’s earliest work, and Greg Kurstin produced Foo Fighters’ latest record Concrete and Gold and is a member of The Bird and the Bee. Jason Falkner has played with Jellyfish and the Three O’Clock, while Drew Hester has played with Foo Fighters, Jewl, and Chicago on Percussion, and he has drummed with Joe Walsh, Stevie Nicks, and Beck.
Grohl will debut his innovative 23-minute song “Play” with ‘friends’ on Saturday at Warren Haynes Presents: Christmas Jam 30 at US Cellular Center in Asheville, NC. Eric Church, Gov’t Mule, Jim James, and Joe Bonamassa will also perform.
Dave Grohl released “Play” his 23-minute song and documentary over the summer. The official Play website states:
“Here you can explore PLAY like no other song by choosing which audio and video you’d like to experience. Hover over ‘Choose Video’ and click to select to view only one instrument. Once you do that, you can also hover over ‘Choose Audio’ to listen to the isolated track of the instrument you are watching or the complete master audio. You can go back to the complete master performance video, or toggle between individual instruments and audio at any time. Music Charts are also available for download below.”
Foo Fighters will perform at the Chris Cornell ‘I Am The Highway’ tribute show in Los Angeles next month, and the band will tour in Europe next summer.
Can't wait to #PLAY with these guys tomorrow night! LOOK OUT ASHEVILLE!
