Shakedown Street has been carrying the torch of the Grateful Dead for over 30 years, channeling the band’s immense and ever-evolving songbook into a living, breathing celebration of improvisational music. Their repertoire runs deep — rooted in Americana, folk, blues, jazz, and rock & roll — while still embracing the weird and wonderful edges of the avant-garde that defined the Dead’s most exploratory moments.
Dig beneath the surface of these songs, and you’ll uncover timeless tales of gamblers and thieves, sinners and saints, and working-class dreamers drifting through the mythic haze of American storytelling. It’s a universe of color, rhythm, and light that Shakedown Street keeps alive every night they play.
Based in the mountains of Colorado, the band continues to perform to sold-out audiences across the region, uniting generations of Deadheads in a shared experience of joy, groove, and transcendence. Their shows are more than concerts — they’re spiritual revivals, reset buttons for the soul.
