GRATEFUL DUB: a Reggae-infused tribute to the GRATEFUL DEAD
Reggae • Dub • Jam • American Songbook
Grateful Dub is a critically acclaimed live project that reimagines the music of the Grateful Dead through the lens of reggae, dub, and improvisational jam music. Rooted in deep grooves, horn-driven arrangements, and spacious dub textures, Grateful Dub transforms iconic American songs into a high-energy, dance-forward experience that resonates across generations.
The debut album, Grateful Dub: A Reggae-Infused Tribute to the Grateful Dead, reached #1 on the Billboard Reggae Chart and was produced by Errol Brown, legendary engineer for Bob Marley & The Wailers. The album features collaborations with internationally respected artists including Stephen Marley, G. Love, and Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band), and has been widely praised for honoring the spirit of the original material while boldly expanding it into new rhythmic territory.
Grateful Dub’s live presence has continued to grow through a standout Sugarshack Sessions performance, which has gone viral across Instagram and YouTube, introducing the project to a new generation of fans through its relaxed, high-vibe visual format.
A follow-up release, Grateful Dub: Vol. 2, is currently in production and highly anticipated, further expanding the project’s catalog and live offerings.
Press highlights include:
“Lead vocalist Brett Wilson’s soulful voice and guitar playing, combined with Marley’s cutting-edge vocals, make for a compelling rendition of the classic.” — Billboard
“If you never thought of Fire on the Mountain as a dance song before, you will after hearing this version.” — AXS
“A delightful take… injecting new life into a timeless songbook.” — Live For Live Music
“A heartwarming hybrid… reggae, dub effects, and jam rock coming together seamlessly.” — World Music Central
Performance formats:
Grateful Dub is available in acoustic or electric configurations, and can present one or two full sets, making the project highly adaptable for festivals, theaters, concert halls, outdoor series, and curated performing arts programs.
Grateful Dub delivers joyful, inclusive, rhythm-driven performances that celebrate musical legacy while inviting audiences to move, connect, and rediscover familiar songs in an entirely new way.
