All-Star Ensemble Live Dead & Brothers to Celebrate the Legacies of the Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band
Merging the extraordinary legacies of the Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band, new project Live Dead & Brothers is set to revive the magic of the bands’ music from 1969 – 1973. Comprised of actual and legacy members from the legendary jambands, this one-of-a-kind ensemble will hit the road this spring for select dates across the U.S.
Live Dead & Brothers combines the talents of keyboardist Tom Constanten (Grateful Dead 1968-70), bassist Berry Duane Oakley (Allman Betts Band and son of Allman Brothers founding bass player, the late Berry Oakley), guitarist Les Dudek (Allman Brothers Band), Mark Karan (Grateful Dead and RatDog), keyboardist Scott Guberman (Phil Lesh & Friends), and drummer Pete Lavezzoli (Oteil Burbridge & Friends, Phil Lesh, Jazz is Dead). A statement announcing the formation of this extraordinary collective promises the band “transcends the boundaries of tribute acts, delivering an authentic, immersive experience that pays homage to the groundbreaking music that defined a generation.”
Live Dead & Brothers will make their first stops in Florida with performances in St. Petersburg on April 5, Fort Lauderdale on April 6, and Orlando on April 7. They’ll then head to Atlanta on April 12 and Asheville on April 14.
The band will then crisscross the Midwest and Northeast, where they’ll play shows in Cincinnati, OH on April 18, Buffalo, NY on April 19 and Northfield, OH on April 20, Warrendale, PA on April 22 and Syracuse, NY on April 24. They’ll also be in Ardmore, PA on April 25, York, PA on April 26, Washington D.C. on April 27 and New York City on April 28. Live Dead & Brothers will wrap things up with two dates in Illinois including performances in De Plaines on May 10 and St. Charles on May 11.
