Crazy Fingers performed their first official show at a private party at Ultimate Farms in Delray Beach FL on Halloween, 10/31/90. The band continued to build its fan base by playing weekly shows and expanding their repertoire--including many rarely performed GD songs that other tribute bands had never touched. Within a year the band began touring the state of Florida, opening for national acts, and writing original music which has been recorded on two CDs to date. The band has played over 5000 live shows, allowing Crazy Fingers to sustain a devoted following and a nationwide reputation as one of the premiere Grateful Dead tribute bands.

Crazy Fingers has had the honor of sharing the stage with such acts as the Band, Ziggy Marley, the Neville Brothers, Warren Haynes and Gov't Mule, Little Feat, the Radiators, Merl Saunders, Zero and Steve Kimock, Melvin Seals and JGB, Buddy Miles, Country Joe McDonald, Jefferson Starship, Dark Star Orchestra, and Donna the Buffalo. Crazy Fingers has also hosted prestigious guest musicians who have played with the band onstage, such as Vince Welnick of the Grateful Dead, Melvin Seals, Steve Kimock, Buddy Cage, Buddy Miles, David Gans, Ed Volker of the Radiators, and Stu Allen of JGB, to name a few. Crazy Fingers has also appeared at many prestigious festivals including Langerado, Sun Fest, Magnolia Fest, Harvest Fest, and others.
