Young and Dead is five young musicians from Boulder, Colorado, united by a deep love for the music of the Grateful Dead and a shared commitment to keeping it alive for new generations.
Rooted in the spirit of exploration that defined the Dead’s sound, the band approaches this timeless catalog with both reverence and fearless creativity.
Young and Dead embraces the full spectrum of the Grateful Dead’s music. They believe the songs are living things, meant to evolve with every performance. No two shows are the same.
Improvisation is at the heart of what they do. Inspired by the Dead’s tradition of spontaneous interplay and musical conversation, Young and Dead thrives in the moment. They invite the audience to join them as they discover new musical spaces and experiences.
With youthful energy and old-soul sensibility, Young and Dead honors the enduring legacy of the Grateful Dead while carving out a sound that’s uniquely their own. For longtime Deadheads and first-time listeners alike, their shows are a celebration of community, connection, and the endless possibility of live music.
The Fox Theatre has long been one of Boulder’s key rooms for live music discovery, and this show offers a strong reminder that the Grateful Dead tradition is still evolving — now in the hands of musicians who grew up long after the original band’s earliest chapters were written.
For local Deadheads, curious newcomers, and anyone who still believes the songs keep growing, this should be a special night in Boulder.
