Dead Collective
Dead Collective is a group of professional musicians who have been inspired by the music of the Grateful Dead. We are not a cover band, rather, we’re a unique and grand interpretation of the band’s music. We’re always trying to move and include folks as we’re merely the sound makers for the Collective that includes audience and band alike. Hope you enjoy the groove!
2:30 pm
Wolfman Jack
Wolfman Jack is a live music project of veteran musicians from the New England area performing the psychedelic and electrifying Live Dead era of The Grateful Dead. A true dance band in the style of such legendary venues as The Fillmore West, Carousel Ballroom and Avalon Ballroom. They recreate those vintage sets from when the Grateful Dead were first cutting their teeth as a live music act.

Rev Tor & the Deal
Brought to you by Housatonic Real Eastate
Rev Tor & The Deal (featuring members of Dead Man’s Waltz and The Rev Tor Band) are an All-Star collective of like-minded “dedicated” musicians celebrating the music and spirit of the Grateful Dead and The Jerry Garcia Band. Diving deep and exploring the grooves and jams of The Dead’s vast catalog of beloved songs (now a part of the new American songbook), Rev Tor & The Deal offers an energetic and refreshing twist to the music while staying true to the spirit of the community.
