Grateful Dads

Grateful Dads is a Louisville, Kentucky act that bills itself as a 'psychedacoustic' tribute, reimagining the Grateful Dead through a stripped-down, rootsy lens. Their own description leans on acoustic textures, deep improvisation and psychedelic soul — front-porch playing with a cosmic streak rather than a stadium recreation. They play Louisville-area rooms including Mellwood Tavern and host their own tie-dye party shows out in Goshen, and they appear on the Grateville Dead Fest lineup.
