About Us
Our Story
The Simian Theory was founded in 2010 by 3 physicians and has since included a host of great musicians whose focus has been to play the more under-appreciated jam songs from the past.
What Inspires Us
We are inspired to play music for music's sake. We firmly believe in music doing good for the world and, to that end, use many of our shows to support philanthropic interests. We are influenced by the great bands and musicians of days past including The Allman Bros, The Grateful Dead, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd
