Random Spiral

About Me

Random Spiral was formed as a tribute to a true American institution - The Grateful Dead. However, unlike most cover and tribute bands, we do not seek to recreate a song note for note, but rather, we seek to recreate the improvisational spirit that was the Grateful Dead. In other words, our guiding motto is "What would the Dead do?" rather than "What did the Dead do?". Subtle perhaps, but the result is a new and (hopefully) exciting show that transcends a static recreation of the same old songs.

We make this promise: At every show we will step out onto the same experimental precipice that the Dead occupied, always pushing the envelope, and always striving to create something new.
