Dead Sky

Since January 2019, Dead Sky has made it their mission to spread the good vibe and camaraderie of the Grateful Dead to old and new Deadheads alike. As veterans of the Montana jam band scene, the members of Dead Sky have together evolved through triumphs and challenges and continue to bring their musicality, energy, and gift for improvisation to an ever-growing fan base.

Dead Sky’s current lineup features Kelly Nicholson (vocals), Luke Flansburg (vocals/lead guitar), Jess Atkins (vocals/lead guitar), Tyler Schultz (keys), Rich Robiscoe (bass), and Joe Sheehan (drums). Between them, they’ve played with some of the region’s most acclaimed acts, including Pinky and the Floyd, MOTH, Tsunami Funk, Hooligans, Cure for the Common, Dusty Pockets, and the Kelly Nicholson Band. Dead Sky honors the memory of founding members Joe Knapp and Joe Kirchner, whose spirit and love for the music remain at the heart of every performance.

Known for their dynamic live performances, rich harmonies, and unique interpretations of the Grateful Dead’s catalog.
