The Grateful Dead carved a pathway of possibility that inspired creative music and culture, bringing happiness and an expansion of consciousness that has had real benefits for humanity. Their river of influence has continued beyond their human forms, creating hundreds of thousands of streams that continue on, flowing with the same but new unique energies.

One of those offshoots is Definitely Dead, a Grateful Dead tribute act that formed in Visalia, CA. Comprised of musicians who are friends and share a deep passion for the music of the Grateful Dead, Definitely Dead seeks to recreate the magic of their live shows for both old Deadheads and the new generation of fans. Their goal is to remain faithful to exploring and recreating the sound and spirit of the Grateful Dead’s collective improvisational experience, while also adding their own unique style and interpretation to the music.

"We try to stay true to the original arrangements somewhat and the improvisational nature of the songs," says one of Definitely Dead's guitarists Marshall Kipp, "But at the same time, we also allow space for the music to happen and listen for the abundant unknown possibilities that exist with new opportunities for collective improvisational sounds. It has been an extremely satisfying experiment that brings joy to the band that we are determined to share with the fans.”

Playing the music of the Grateful Dead is pure fun and joy for the members of Definitely Dead. They want to share that joy and fun with the audience and have the shared energy play the band.
