Get ready to embark on a musical journey like no other with Deadgrass, the band that flawlessly fuses bluegrass and the timeless tunes of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead into an irresistible concoction of foot-stomping rhythms, blazing solos, and infectious harmonies that will leave you dancing like nobody’s watching. This string band takes you on an adventure through Garcia’s musical world, celebrating and interpreting decades of songs, drawing from Old & In the Way, JGB, Jerry’s Jug Band days and The Grateful Dead.

The group was formed when Matt Turk and C Lanzbom joined forces a little over six years ago. Bassist Dave Richards, banjo player Boo Reiners and fiddler Kensuke Shoji complete this fine group of seasoned pros exploring the life works of Jerry Garcia on the instruments that first inspired him. NYS Music describes the band as “improv-laden … phenomenal chops … capturing the vocal harmonies and intonations led by Garcia … refreshing and fun,” and Cindy O. Herman of the Daily Item says, “Anyone who loves The Dead and appreciates a well detailed, thoughtful and respectful group of superb musicians artistically intercepting the music will have a spectacular night.” So grab your dancing shoes, embrace the tie-dye spirit, and join Deadgrass on a wild ride through a musical landscape where bluegrass meets psychedelic jamming, creating an unforgettable experience that will have you craving more long after the last note fades away.
