Bertha: Grateful Drag is far more than novelty — they’re one of the most musically dialed, joy-forward Grateful Dead tributes touring today. Fronted by drag performers who channel the Dead’s spirit with glitter, grit, and fearless flair, Bertha pushes Dead culture into new territory without ever losing the groove. They honor the music with real chops — weaving jam, jazz, and bluegrass musicianship into shows that feel familiar, yet delightfully subversive. Their performances celebrate queerness, community, and improvisation in equal measure, turning every stage into a space of liberation, love, and loud Dead energy. Bertha plays the music like it matters — because it does — and in doing so, opens the Deadverse wider, wilder, and more inclusive than ever.
