Sam Blasucci and Clay Finch (of country-folk revivalists Mapache) handle vocal and guitar duties, rounded out by bassist Dan Horne (of Cass McCombs, Jonathan Wilson, and the estimable Circles Around The Sun, who provided the incidental music for 2015’s “Fare Thee Well” concerts, the last shows played by the living members of the Dead ). Singer/guitarist Austin McCutchen had a residency at The Griffin in Atwater Village his band was out of town, so he drafted some friends to play a set of Dead covers, and the four founding members (Austin, Sam, Clay, and Dan) have been together ever since.
“We end up sounding almost more like the Dead because we approach it in this free-spirited way.”įounded one night in 2016, the band came about almost by accident. “It’s more of a ‘take’ on the Dead than a tribute band,” says bassist Dan Horne. The thing is, Los Angeles-based Grateful Shred manage to channel that elusive Dead vibe: wide-open guitar tones, effortless three-part vocal harmonies, choogling beats, and yes, plenty of tripped out, Shredded solos. Grateful Shred makes their debut at The Station! This All-Star line up will put on an unforgettable Dead Tribute that will be unlike any others you have seen before.
