Terrapin Flyer: Grateful Dead Tribute

Terrapin Flyer keeps the Dead’s spirit alive with extended jams, psychedelic vibes, and deep musical chemistry.

ABOUT THE BAND

For more than 25 years, Terrapin Flyer has been a powerhouse of the national music scene, renowned for their faithful yet adventurous interpretations of Grateful Dead classics.

Originally formed in 1999, the band has built a storied legacy through long-term collaborations with Dead legends like Melvin Seals, Vince Welnick, and Tom Constanten, earning them a spot in Rolling Stone’s "Guide to the Grateful Dead."

By blending tight musicianship with free-flowing improvisation and a deep reverence for jazz, blues, and bluegrass, the current lineup—featuring Josh Olken, Wavy Dave, Jon Reed, Michael Cole, and Doug Hagman—channels the authentic spirit of a true Dead show where every performance is a unique, soul-stirring experience.
