Dead Sometimes
Keeping the timeless sound of the Grateful Dead alive for the next generation, Dead Sometimes brings together the songs you love to sing with the jams that make you dance. This high energy and gritty jam band from Portland, Oregon, consists of Mac Brown (guitar, vocals), C.J. Mead (guitar, vocals), Curtis Waterbury (bass), Ben Skoch (keyboards, vocals), and Austin Stewart (drums, vocals).
These guys have been playing together for more than a decade in various iterations, including several members currently performing with Five Fingers of Funk, Steely Dawn, Cow Paddy Stompers, Norwester Sky, Christopher John Mead, and Austin Stewart Quartet. They came together for the love of the music, friendship, and good times.
