No other band displayed more eclecticism and adventurousness than The Grateful Dead. On top of a massive catalog of now-classic original songs, they drew from folk, ragtime, blues, Tin Pan Alley, country, jazz, bluegrass and rock genres to create their own unique tapestry of Americana.
The Morning Dudes plumb every corner of this treasure trove, blending songs from Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir side projects with beloved Dead originals. Our song list tops 130 different numbers. Like the band we pay tribute to, Jake and Tom alternate lead vocals, with each singing harmony for the other.
