Joe Russo's Almost Dead

At the Stateside Amphitheater

There's no other band who celebrates the music of the Grateful Dead quite like JRAD. They're upbeat, with an unconventional set flow that will steal your face right off of your head. 
Purchase Tickets Soon

Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (JRAD) is a high-energy, improvisational tribute to the Grateful Dead, led by drummer Joe Russo. Featuring Marco Benevento, Tom Hamilton, Scott Metzger, and Dave Dreiwitz, JRAD has built a massive following with their electrifying renditions of the Dead’s legendary catalog. Their unique approach blends the psychedelic essence of the Grateful Dead with their own spontaneous, high-energy style, creating an unforgettable live experience.

Since their 2013 debut, JRAD has played sold-out shows across the country, reimagining the Grateful Dead’s music with a fresh, modern intensity while staying true to its roots. Whether you’re a lifelong Deadhead or new to the scene, this is a show you won’t want to miss!
