CHANNELING THE SPIRIT OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD
DEFINITELY DEAD
SATURDAY, APR. 19th, 8pm
The Definitely Dead Band is a fun band, as you will find. The first time these five musicians played together, they invited Travis Waters from Film Owl Productions to shoot live videos of them playing a few classic Grateful Dead tunes. Their next thought was, "Let's see if Deadheads appreciate the music of this group of people." After putting the first four times playing together videos up on the Definitely Dead Band Facebook page, the band was thunderstruck by the positive response, the amount of views, comments, and feedback, and grateful for the folks choosing to follow them. The band's authentic engagement with their newfound fans on social media inspired more innovation and the drive to move forward and take this music to perform live. They then pursued getting the authentic Grateful Dead electronic equipment to do it right live on the road. They are both committed to delivering this music in its true collective improvisational form, with high fidelity and visuals, to fans who come to their shows to experience the magic and the band's love and passion for this music.
For all those who want to play music professionally or pursue some challenging dream but life has taken them in a different direction, our hope is that this story will inspire them to never give up on their dreams! Thank you to The Grateful Dead and Deadheads for this opportunity to share this dream with audiences across the country.
