The Dead Guise

About Me

The Dead Guise play Dead; as in the classic music of the Grateful Dead. The Guise are a covey of talented musicians living in the California Bay Area who have been profoundly inspired by the Dead's music. They recreate, in their own way, the special energy and spontaneity of a live Grateful Dead concert.The Dead Guise strive to capture the spirit in which the music is intended, which they believe, is to sound dynamic and high energy unique every time it is played. Playing the music of the Dead provides a springboard for improvisation and exploration that can lead the band into uncharted territory at every performance.The heart of the Grateful Dead is the incredible amount of energy that is exchanged between the band and the audience at a live show... And that's the inspiration of the Dead Guise--to try their best to recreate that energy and share it with audiences who crave it.
