In a crowded landscape of Grateful Dead cover bands, it takes more than tie-dyes and long jams to stand out. Enter The Grateful String Band — a crew of talented pickers who aren’t just revisiting the classics; they’re reimagining them with acoustic soul and string-fueled fire. But make no mistake, this isn’t a tribute band. TGSB doesn’t try to replicate the Dead’s shows, sound, or stage presence. Instead, they reinterpret songs from the vast catalog of the Grateful Dead, their side projects, and even the traditional tunes the Dead themselves covered, all through the lens of high-octane bluegrass.
Featuring Kris Nowak on acoustic guitar, Steve Haberichter on mandolin, Garrett Degnan on upright bass and Pete Smith on banjo, The Grateful String Band explore every corner of the Dead’s musical universe from fan favorites to deep cuts, from Pigpen’s raw blues to Jerry’s spacey ballads, all delivered with foot-stomping energy and reverence for the source. And the journey doesn’t stop with the Dead. TGSB follows the thread through Old & In the Way, the Jerry Garcia Band, and wherever that musical spirit may wander. If the Dead played it, jammed on it, or simply loved it, TGSB is ready to break it down, grass it up, and send it racing through a mandolin at blazing speed.
So if you’re searching for the sweet spot where psychedelic rock meets Appalachian roots- where Garcia meets grassy- you’ve landed in the right place. The Grateful String Band — your go to source for high-energy, heartfelt, and joyfully offbeat Deadgrass.
