The Grateful DudesThe UK’s most authentic Grateful Dead tribute. Experience the energy, excitement and experimentation of a Grateful Dead show live in Europe.

About

Playing the music of The Grateful Dead, iconic US West Coast acid rock band, 1965 – 95, the Dudes explore the songs, improvisations and jams from their vast repertoire, emulating the sound, style, freedom and adventure of their live shows.  More than a band, the Dead were a phenomenon – from precursors of psychedelic rock in the sixties to the highest grossing US touring act in the late ‘80s and ‘90s.  As the saying goes, “There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert” ; the Dudes aim to capture and re-create some of that magic.

Based in the UK, the band members have come together from different formations in Europe – Deadicace, Magic Bulbs, Cosmic Charlies, Shotgun Ragtime Band – and bring a wealth of talent and experience to their shows.
