WHAT'S NEW... Spring has finally sprung, and we are excited to hit the warmer weather running with more great music on the horizon. We are pleased to be playing a spring/summer residency on Dead Wednesday's at 28 Mile Distillery in Highwood. Catch us on the third Wednesday each month through August. Also, we are honored to have our first date at Garcia's Chicago on June 26. This new iconic venue in the West Loop is already blazing a trail of great music and great food in an intimate space that Jerry always envisioned. We think he would approve! Ticket links in the calendar below... 

Come join us as we mine the vast catalog of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia Band, Bob Dylan, The Band, and more and go "searching for the sound" in the Chicago area's finest listening rooms. Bring your dancing shoes and, as always, tie-dye and twirling are optional. 💃🕺 ☮️
