Wait- I know what you're thinking. Another Grateful Dead cover band?
Really?
The thing is, Los Angeles-based Grateful Shred manage to channel that elusive Dead vibe: wide-open guitar tones, effortless three-part vocal harmonies, choogling beats, and yes, plenty of tripped out, Shredded solos. The look, the sound, the atmosphere. It's uncanny. "Its more of a 'take' on the Dead than a tribute band, "says bassist Dan Horne. "We end up sounding almost more like the Dead because we approach it in this free-spirited way."
