    The Dead Covers Project

    What a wonderful month it's been, sharing our love of the Grateful Dead through song and video! We applaud all the hard work and effort that you, the fans, put into the DEAD COVERS PROJECT, and we hope you'll continue to watch and support all the amazing participant videos on YouTube until we fire up the DEAD COVERS PROJECT again next February.

    Throughout the month of April, we'll be shining our lovelight on a handful of artists that really made the grade. You'll get to know each of these five artists and find out just what made them connect with the Dead in our exclusive DEAD COVERS PROJECT profiles, but for now we'd simply like to congratulate the following participants (in no particular order)...

    Now Playing In The Band...

    The project may be over for 2012, but you can continue to check out some of the "Top Rated" videos that were submitted and "Like" them here.

    Tennessee Jed Workingman Style
    We cut this Tennessee Jed a few days ago live in my TN apartment Americana-esque. If you dig it, please like it on youtube. Thanks for giving it a listen!

Sorry bout that, I thought I had set the width right on that last post, as I have on all previous ones... BTW I was using 400 as mentioned by Canyon Critter ?'s posts, and to clarify to anyone doing this, there are two widths in the embed code, I just changed 'em both to 400 and it works out. Cheers.

Hi All, First off, thanks again Dead Net !! A quick note on my recent vid posted, solo acoustic China Doll - Hightime. I never thought it would make it so quick into the dead's youtube page, and now it is double listed there. I touched it up with titles and fades and reupped to my personal Youtube channel here: Sorry for the confusion. I didn't want to just delete it off my band's channel, and the newer one is cleaner. The whole video thing is kinda new to me. I was inspired the other night watching Dead covers (There sure is some amazing talent out here !) , so decided to give it a quick go. My next hurdle will be adding in the pro audio, instead of the handycam mike. Thanks for being kind! Yvan , Not Dead Yet, Ottawa Canada

thanks that was for sure the most challenging part was trying to hear the other instruments in my head while laying down the drum and bass track. once i got to lead guitar and last keys it got alot easier

These guys are amazing! Listened to their other music on YouTube. Great originals too.Surprised their Midnight Moonlight and Jack a Roe were not viewed as much. This is the the next realm!! Cant wait to see them live! Hope they make it!

Inspiration from Hightime led to another.... Rosemary Album: Aoxomoxoa Technique: I played the song straight through on Vocal & Guitar with 1 mic + added a strumming & vox track to give a more depth of sound & reverb. Video recorded with iPhone on the 8mm video app., I like to make everything I do a "Dreamy Art Peace", this is one of my FAVorite Grateful Dead songs
