PLAYING THE DEAD w/ special guests: Scott Guberman, Jerry Saracini
Rooted in the heart of San Francisco’s storied musical landscape, Playing The Dead is more than just a tribute band—they are a living, breathing homage to the spirit of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia. Fusing improvisation, psychedelic textures, and heartfelt musicianship, the band captures the essence of The Dead’s legendary live shows while adding their own unique spark to every performance. https://playingthedead.com
