Spaceman's Dead Friends

About the band

Spaceman's Dead Friends

Memphis, TN

Spaceman's Dead Friends is a Memphis band drawing on Memphis and North Mississippi players. Their book is the wider Grateful Dead universe rather than just the Dead: their own show blurbs list Dead, Jerry Garcia Band, Old & In the Way, the Byrds and New Riders of the Purple Sage. They hold a recurring free Sunday-afternoon slot at Crosstown Brewing Company, 2-5pm, explicitly framed as a family show with kids and dogs welcome. They also play ticketed Memphis rooms including Hernando's Hide-A-Way, and have taken the band out of town, including dates in Las Vegas. Players associated with the group include Mark Jordan, Cedric 'Captnkeys' Taylor, JD Westmoreland, John Kilgore and Scott Carter.
