--------------------------------
In 1999, a group of aspiring jamsters in Athens GA converged to share an evening of live Grateful Dead music with the local townsfolk. With Deadheads still grieving over the loss of Jerry Garcia a mere 4 years earlier, these Athens musicians were united by the conviction that the world needed more live Grateful Dead music.
That fateful evening (dubbed "One More Saturday Night”) swiftly morphed into the touring machine known as COSMIC CHARLIE, which proceeded to deliver its special brand of high energy Grateful Dead to audiences across the Southeast and beyond. Now, 25 years and roughly 1000 shows later, the convergence has grown stronger than ever.
Cosmic Charlie has toured coast-to-coast, and performed alongside Grateful Dead members & Dead-related musical family. From Veneta to Virginia Beach, Louisville to Little Rock, Missoula to Myrtle Beach... Cosmic Charlie has gained a firsthand understanding of the meaning of "long strange trip". And our beloved fans have had our backs all the way!
On Sat Sep 28, Cosmic Charlie returns to the Georgia Theatre in Athens GA - the site of that very first show in the summer of 1999 - to celebrate 25 years together.
Come join the fun as we celebrate the band's storied history & usher in the next quarter-century of Cosmic Charlie!

COSMIC CHARLIE
------------------
Cosmic Charlie was born in the musical Mecca of Athens, Georgia. From its summer 1999 inception, the band swiftly cemented its reputation as a band that puts a unique and personal twist on the Grateful Dead catalogue. Cosmic Charlie is a Dead cover band for folks that are ambivalent about Dead cover bands.
Rather than mimicking the Dead exactly, Cosmic Charlie chooses to tap into the Dead’s energy and style as a foundation on which to build. The result is healthy balance of creativity and tradition, where both the band and its audience are taken to that familiar edge with the sense that, music is actually being MADE here tonight.
Moving and shaking even the most skeptical of Deadheads, Cosmic Charlie storms into a town and plays with an energy that eludes other bands, an energy that sometimes eluded the Dead themselves. Those precious moments during Dead jams when the synchronicity is there and all is right with the world - these are the moments that Cosmic Charlie relishes and feverishly welcomes with open arms. Clearly, Cosmic Charlie’s audiences are also eager to partake in these moments, and together with the band, they have indulged in many memorable evenings.
Most nights, Cosmic Charlie walks onstage without a setlist, not even knowing what the first song will be. Any Dead tune can rear its head at any moment, and fan requests are always welcome. “INSPIRATON, MOVE ME BRIGHTLY" is Cosmic Charlie’s mantra, allowing the music to truly play the band.
