Bio
Playing Dead is a Grateful Dead tribute from Long Island, New York featuring former members of Dark Star Orchestra, Slipknot!, and Uncle John's Band.
The band plays marathon sets built around music and jams from the full Grateful Dead catalog. The repertoire draws on the mix of rock, blues, jazz, folk, bluegrass, and more that defines the original band’s songbook.
Their approach centers on the live-concert feel of the Grateful Dead, with different set lists from show to show and room for improvisational jams. Like the band they honor, each Playing Dead performance is designed to be its own set, not a fixed run-through.
