Midnight North Returns to the Stage in 2026
Hey everyone!
2024 and 2025 were some up and down years for Midnight North. We took a pause from touring in early 2024 after Elliott had a really tough health scare, then Grahame’s dad passed in late 2024, and then in the fall of 2025 we took another break to welcome three Midnight North babies into the world all in the span of a couple months from each other! 👶👶👶
Now we are thrilled to be back at it together! With these new little additions to care for, we won’t be on the road as often as we used to, but our plan is to go out for a weekend of shows a month starting in April. So this Spring catch us in April in NorCal, in May in SoCal, and we’ll let you know soon where you can catch us in June and beyond!
Tickets for all our spring shows are available at the links below.

“Horns on the Weekend” RIP Bobby Weir
One of the Midnight North family’s favorite Bobby stories came when we played The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, CA on November 3rd, 2017. Both Bob and Phil we’re gracious enough to join our little band on stage that night in our hometown. We had a slew of other musicians joining in on the fun that night including a horn section we pieced together – one of the first times we made that happen live. We were excited to say the least. When we told Bob that we had a horn section for the night he said nonchalantly, with his very own, unique Bobby wit: “of course, because horns on the weekend” like it was some sort of industry-standard practice that every band did! Needless to say, we loved that! We thought it was hilarious and we referred to that that phrase countless times from then on.
As Elliott described so well in her posts we also performed “Only a River” that night with Bob. It is such a beautiful song and probably our favorite collaboration with him and Midnight North, even if it didn’t have the horns. Take a listen below.
Love ya Bobby, rest easy ❤️❤️❤️

Saturday April 4th at The Presidio Theatre
We’re thrilled to be playing, for the first time, the beautiful Presidio Theatre in our hometown of San Francisco on April 4, 2026! This will be a special one, and we’re stoked to have a hometown show on the calendar for 2026 as a cornerstone of our plans. 2025 has understandably been a slower year for us, but we’re excited to start planning for next year and the good fun of live music that awaits us all!
Elliott Peck & Friends at Annapolis Baygrass
Due to some exciting overlapping family happenings with a few of us MN members, we are unfortunately not going to perform together at Annapolis Baygrass Festival this year — we were scheduled to play September 20th.
BUT! Similar to last year, we have bandmates stepping up for each other to bring music to y’all. Our own Elliott Peck will be bringing a special Elliott Peck & Friends lineup to Baygrass to fill Sandy Point State Park with her amazing music – both her Midnight North tunes and her solo material, including some new stuff! So don’t miss it! And Midnight North will be back in the area before you know it!

Grahame Lesh: There and Back Again
Grahame with a nice in-depth interview with Relix
“I also feel that with Midnight North, the more pressure that’s on us, the better we play. Not every band’s like that, and that’s not even a rule necessarily for Midnight North, just a feeling I have.” – Grahame
