    Ive been really into "the disco biscuits" lately.
    check out their CD's 'uncivilised area' or 'the wind at four to fly' or 'senior boombox'

    If you like bluegrass, check out yonder mountain string band.
    A good rock jamband is tea leaf green who imo sounds similar to the dead.
    Umphreys Mcgee is one of my favorite bands currently touring (kindof a prog-rock jamband).
    Check out archive.org of your not already familiar with it, you can download tons of live concerts from there.

    Well, are you new to the genre? If so, look at : Green Lemon, New Monsoon, SCI, Shanti Groove, Dead/Phish, of course, and any side projects.
    If you like the grassy side, Railroad Earth, Yonder (and projects: Swing Set and Jeff Austin and Friends), Hot Buttered Rum String band, MoonShine Still, Blueground Undergrass, White Water Ramble, Head for the Hills (and the usual suspects: Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, etc)
    Like the jazzy side? Garaj Mahal (love, love love them.) Steve Kimock (KVHW, Zero, SKB, Kimock & Friends) Jacob Fred Jazz Odessey, Skerik projects, Banyan (Willie Waldeman and Perry Ferrell project)

    Government Mule, Moe, Stellar Road, Derek Trucks Band, Reckless Kelly, are all good

    Umphrey Mcgee, Yonger Mountain String, and Tea Leaf Green are all good ones too that I agree on
