And the GRAMMY® for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package goes to IN AND OUT OF THE GARDEN: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ’81 ’82 ’83! Congratulations to art directors Lisa Glines, Doran Tyson, Dave Van Patten, and the entire Grateful Dead family.

Following a great night of Phil and Friends at The Mission Ballroom Saturday night, the icing on the cake would be the afterparty taking place down the road at the exclusive social club Knew Conscious. Billed as Electric Dead Grass, this collaboration promised to bring together the powerhouse talent of the inexplicable force that is Ross James, banjo fury Andy Thorn, thundering cheshire Mark Levy, and Octo-handed deity channeler Garrett Sayers for a performance that blended exactly what the name intended.

Starting on Monday March 6th, Rinah Ramos brings live Dead and more to The Tradewinds in Cotati with BETTER OFF DEAD MONDAYS, a new live music event planned for every other Monday. The inaugural show on 3/6 features a killer lineup with John Chi, Scott Guberman, JP McClean & Anna Elva. Tradewinds is a chill community gathering place with cheap drinks and kind peeps. Come out out and boogie every other Monday at Tradewinds!

NorCal Favorites LOVIN' DEAD are back for another round at Toot's Tavern in charming Crockett on the Carquinez on Fri March 10th. Havin' fun and playing live Dead is what Lovin' Dead does best, striving to provide a unique yet familiar musical experience. The fellas are students of the songs, exploring interactive psychedelic jams, smokin' guitar work, soulful three-part vocal harmonies & always Searching for the Sound.

In a land abundant with Grateful Dead tribute bands, Dark Star Orchestra (DSO) on February 2 in Sacramento, California, strengthened its unofficial claim as the quintessential torch bearers. Flanked by a devoted and euphoric nearly sold-out audience at the 975-capacity Crest Theatre, the band on this night didn’t replicate an actual Grateful Dead show as they are inclined to do.

Could it be we are embarking upon the 10th year of the DEAD COVERS PROJECT?! It's one of our favorite times of year because Dead Heads from around the world come together to keep the spirit and the music alive. So no more twiddling thumbs your thumbs - grab your guitar and your gang and give us your best takes on your favorite Dead songs because the 2023 DEAD COVERS PROJECT is just around the bend.

Ten year anniversaries are certainly something to celebrate, and that is exactly what Joe Russo's Almost Dead did this past weekend with a four night run of shows in the New York City metro region. The performances were at the Brooklyn Bowl for the first night and the Capitol Theatre for the rest.

I just want to let you know how excited I am about the upcoming debut/album release shows coming up for a project I am part of called The Latin Dead! Led by percussionist, Brenden Tacon, and featuring a "who's who" of Latin Jazz (including 4x Grammy-winning keyboardist, Oscar Hernandez) as well as Andy Vargas (Santana) helping me out on co-lead vocals, I think you will dig this mash-up of songs and styles. An album release announcement should be coming soon, and our first three debut performances are just a few weeks away!

Steely Dead is a musical hybrid of the Grateful Dead and Steely Dan. Sonic worlds collide, between the structure, arrangement and precision studio recordings of rock legends Steely Dan, cross-pollinated with the Grateful Dead’s free-flowing, melodic improvisation and masterful song segues. Steely Dead merges these major concepts together while infusing the influence unto each band. For example, taking the Grateful Dead’s rocking set ender Deal and Steely Dan’s Reelin’ In the Years creating the mashup Dealin’ in the Years.
