Joe Russo’s Almost Dead

Joe Russo's Almost Dead built its name on Grateful Dead songs, stretched out and reworked by musicians who came up in the jam and improvisational rock scenes. Joe Russo drives the band from behind the kit, and the group is known for long-form sets that lean into the jamming tradition without just replaying old setlists.

They've become regulars in Colorado, a state with deep ties to that scene, and this run brings them to Dillon Amphitheater, Gerald R Ford Amphitheater, and Mission Ballroom.
