Grateville Dead 2026

Headline act

Born Cross Eyed

Vienna, VA

Born Cross Eyed is a Northern Virginia Grateful Dead jam tribute assembled from players with three decades in the DMV scene, drawn out of earlier area Dead bands including On the Bus, Crazy Fingers, The Next Step and The Other People. They lean on the jam side of the catalog rather than setlist recreation, and they also build themed nights such as a Bob Weir tribute. They play the Virginia, DC and Maryland circuit — Jammin Java in Vienna, Union Stage in DC, B Chord Brewing, and Settle Down Easy Brewing in Falls Church.
