This summer, Eric Carlin's Half-Dead returns to Buffalo Iron Works to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and the Grateful Dead at Rich Stadium. That historic concert, part of Farm Aid II, took place on the Fourth of July in 1986, just a few days before Jerry Garcia lapsed into a diabetic coma that almost ended his career. This July 4th, we'll keep the music, spirit, and memories alive with a full afternoon tribute to all three legendary artists. Were you there that day in '86? Come share your stories with us! Wave that flag, wave it wide and high...
$15 advance / $20 day of show
Doors at 2:00 / Music at 3:00
Ages: 18+

What Deadheads are saying about ECHD...
“An outstanding band easily on par with Dark Star Orchestra. If you love GD music, you’re in for a treat!”
"Me and my buddy brought a friend who isn't really familiar with the Dead. After the show he said, 'That was one of the best concerts I've ever attended!' He's totally hooked. For real, you guys are soooooo talented!"
"I LOVE your shows! You're the only band that's scratched the 'itch' for me since Jerry died."
“I was pretty much done seeing Dead-inspired bands in bars. But I have to say, you guys are really a cut above. You will see me again.”
"OH. MY. GOD! Seriously, if you haven’t seen Eric Carlin’s Half-Dead yet...you must!"
