Not just another Grateful Dead cover band. A cosmic exploration of the Grateful Dead catalog! Bearly Dead, Boston-based quintet, performs a concert-style show that celebrates the journey of the Grateful Dead from their earliest records until their final tours. The band delivers a full-spectrum concert experience filled with danceable energy and world-class musicianship. Each and every Grateful Dead member is honored through a collection of classics, b-sides, deep cuts, and exploratory jams. Holding true to the spirit of the music, Bearly Dead frequently adds to their 250+ song catalog and continues to showcase authentic, spontaneous improvisation – live and in-person – making each show a wildly unique Grateful Dead experience you do not want to miss! Bearly Dead played their first show at Church of Boston, in 2015, marking the beginning of its hallowed Wednesday Night Residency. Over the next 5 years the phrase “Never Miss A Wednesday Show” became ubiquitous around Boston and Bearly Dead was nominated multiple times for Boston Music Awards Live Music Residency of the Year. Fans really never knew what might happen, the band never knew what might happen! Bearly Dead shows have featured notable appearances by Mike Campbell (Tom Petty &amp; The Heartbreakers), Paul Wolstencroft (Slightly Stoopid), Steve Molitz (Particle/Phil Lesh &amp; Friends), Kebbi Williams (Tedeschi Trucks Band), Rob Compa (Dopapod), Hayley Jane (Hayley Jane &amp; The Primates), Richard James (Neighbor), and Johnny Trama (Dub Apocalypse) — and even a surprise appearance by Jerry Garcia’s “Wolf” guitar in 2018 on Jerry Garcia’s birthday. Bearly Dead performs at Massachusetts’ most prestigious venues, including Paradise Rock Club, Sinclair, and the Worcester Palladium, as well as headlining at MGM Music Hall Fenway and House of Blues Boston. After becoming a staple in the Northeast US festival community with multiple appearances at Camp Creek, Jerry Jam, Strange Creek Campout, and many more, it was only a matter of time before Bearly Dead shows were being requested around the USA. In October 2022, Bearly Dead saddled up a new van and began touring nationally, performing their interpretation of the catalog across the United States and growing the family all along the way. Bearly Dead is Tyler Brooks (Drums, Vocals), Owen Finley (Bass, Vocals), Nick Swift (Guitar, Vocals), Kris Yunker (Keys/Organ/Synth, Vocals), and Michael Butler (Vocals, Percussion).For Fans Of / Recommended If You Like:The Grateful Dead, Goose, Phish, Led Zeppelin YouTube Videos/Live: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq_iIe6xnm0" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq_iIe6xnm0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bearly Dead - 8/3/2024 || The Warehouse @ FTC (Fairfield, CT) *FULL SET*</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w60E9MotJyU" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w60E9MotJyU" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bearly Dead - 10/18/2024 || The State Room (Salt Lake City, UT)</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBFtokyWJnw" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBFtokyWJnw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bearly Dead - "The Valley Road"</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxsprAwMIgM" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxsprAwMIgM" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bearly Dead - "Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo"</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upkpi5DHewI&amp;t=5395s" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upkpi5DHewI&amp;t=5395s" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bearly Dead - 8/25/2023 || Soundcheck Studios (Pembroke, MA) *FULL SET 2/2* </a>Music/Stream: <a href="https://bearlydead.bandcamp.com/" title="https://bearlydead.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bandcamp</a> Press:“ <a href="https://liveforlivemusic.com/news/bearly-dead-not-just-another-grateful-dead-cover-band/" title="https://liveforlivemusic.com/news/bearly-dead-not-just-another-grateful-dead-cover-band/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bearly Dead: Not Just Another Grateful Dead Cover Band</a> “ - L4LM (Live for Live Music) “ <a href="https://www.jambase.com/article/bearly-dead-tour-dates-harvest-the-wind-run-for-the-roses-2024-2025" title="https://www.jambase.com/article/bearly-dead-tour-dates-harvest-the-wind-run-for-the-roses-2024-2025" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bearly Dead Hits The Road With Harvest The Wind Tour &amp; Run For The Roses Tour</a> ” - JamBase “ <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/jambands/comments/11p4k80/so_are_we_sleeping_on_bearly_dead_these_guys/" title="https://www.reddit.com/r/jambands/comments/11p4k80/so_are_we_sleeping_on_bearly_dead_these_guys/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">So are we sleeping on Bearly Dead?
