I love the Dead. I could listen to "Brown Eyed Women," "Bertha," or "Jack Straw" every day for the rest of my life and be happy. But there comes a time to ask: "What would Jerry do?" Thinking about that question, the answer is right in front of us—he and all the other members of the Grateful Dead would have (and, in fact, did) make new and interesting music.

Stella Blue’s Band is excited to announce the sixth annual Free Dead in the Park concert to benefit Riverkeeper, presented by The Capitol Theatre and RYTHM Premium Cannabis. Following in the footsteps of the Grateful Dead more than 50 years ago, Stella will take to the same stage at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park in New York City at 4:30pm on Tuesday, May 13, for two sets of music to raise awareness and funds to help clean up and protect the Hudson River and its ecosystem.

On March 27, 1991, the Grateful Dead's opening night at Nassau Coliseum was already etched in cosmic anticipation—spring break for me, a 20-year-old freshman at the University of Nebraska, originally from Paramus, New Jersey. Having already seen the Dead several times since I was 16, including my very first show at Madison Square Garden in September 1987, I knew this Nassau run was bound to be special.

LIVE DEAD & BROTHERS are thrilled to announce their highly anticipated “Truckin’ 2025” Tour, celebrating the enduring legacy of the Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band. Featuring a powerhouse lineup—Berry Duane Oakley, Steve Kimock, Mark Karan, Scott Guberman, and Pete Lavezzoli—the group will bring their soul-stirring, improvisational jam sessions to audiences across the East Coast and Midwest this spring.

Terrapin Crossroads and Paper Moon Presents are excited to unveil the lineup for the final stop of the Terrapin Roadshow Northern California concert series—the August 17 concert at the Truckee Amphitheater. Nicki Bluhm and Jackie Greene will join this special late afternoon/evening of music alongside Grahame Lesh, Jeremy Hoenig, Ross James, Adam MacDougall, and JP McLean. Opening the show is Broken Compass, an up-and-coming string band that’s quickly making a name for itself.

From celebrated journalist Brian Anderson comes LOUD AND CLEAR: The Grateful Dead’s Wall of Sound and the Quest for Audio Perfection, an epic exploration of the groundbreaking speaker system that forever changed live music. Kirkus Reviews praises Anderson’s work as “an epic history… a fresh account of the Grateful Dead's relentless pursuit of sonic perfection.”

Young and Dead, an exciting new collective of talented young musicians, has rapidly captured the hearts and ears of Boulder’s vibrant live music scene since their debut in early 2024. This passionate group, all in their early 20s, share a deep appreciation for improvisation, the thrill of live performance, and the enduring legacy of the Grateful Dead.

Grahame Lesh, son of the legendary Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, is a gifted musician who has carved out his own space in the music world while continuing to honor his family’s rich legacy. A talented guitarist and vocalist, Grahame is perhaps best known as a founding member of the band Midnight North, among numerous other projects. Over the years, he has collaborated with a wide range of artists, including notable Grateful Dead alumni and musical icons.

Today, March 15th, 2025, the cosmic calendar turns to a date that holds both sweetness and melancholy—what would have been the 85th birthday of the inimitable Phil Lesh. Though he left our earthly stage last October, Phil’s spirit reverberates powerfully through the music world, a sonic beacon for those who seek magic in every note.
