    I'll sure check this band out. As you might guess from my username a Dead band from VT might be just the ticket!

    The Kind - Blacksburg, VA
    I have been playing in a Dead band in Blacksburg, Va (the home of VA Tech) since 1986 called The Kind. We formed at my 20th birthday party as the band we had scheduled to play found themselves in a state unable to perform so I grabbed some buddies and we took the stage. Now we are approaching our 24th anniversary and my 44th birthday - yikes! Our only goal was and is to have fun playing music. We have had a handful of lineup changes over the years I and the rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist Wendy Godley are the only founding members that still play regularly. We have had a bunch of really talented folks come and go (and come back). We do a reunion show every summer at the Port O'Call in the Outer Banks of NC - we have as many former and current players as we can get together and put on one hell of a show. Folks coming in from as far as San Francisco and Hawaii to do these shows. We have gotten to play with some other great folks over the years including David Gans - who sat in at a gig at the Underground on Howard St in San Fran. Jerry Abrams (of Head Lights) joined us with trippy light shows and congas on some shows in SF that summer (1987). Robin Sylvester from RatDog played a couple of shows with us in Blacksburg and at the OBX reunion shows (he played guitar and keyboards - and is great at both and a great guy). We have opened for Rick Danko, Jefferson Starship, New Riders, Hot Tuna and a few others over the years. Our current lineup features me, Wendy Godley, Rick Godley (drums), Danny Dunlap (guitar, synth, vocals), Mandy Cash (vocals) Steve "Slash" Hunt (bass) - also Greg Bump (bass). Slash is a monster bass player and toured with Bob Margolin for years (Bob was Muddy Waters' guitar player for the last 8 years of his life and is standing next to him in "The Last Waltz"). Former members include Mark McLeod (rhythm guitar, vocals) who is now teaching economics at Penn St, and Tom Lehman (bass), and Tim Taylor (drums) - Tim lives on the Big Island of Hawaii and plays with Hawaiians Unlimited and competes in triathlons. Our website is thekind.org and we've got a bunch of videos on YouTube - search for "The Kind Blacksburg) Tom Snediker Lead guitar, vocals The Kind, Crossties, Scott Fore and His Hillbilly Hotclub

I've been wondering if there is indeed a market here in LA for a tribute act. One that spotlights their Americana/Cocaine Cowboy years and goes full acoustic like "Reckoning" Does your tribute act do well?

Even though I am new to the band and the scene, I am really interested in seeing a camp out show of some good dead tracks? I live in the Mid Atlantic area and don't know where I should get started. Any thoughts?

Hello, we play Dead tunes out of Carbondale, Illinois, and call ourselves quite aptly - Another Dead Cover Band. Right now, we're trying to set up some social sites to maybe get playing a few more venues in the area, and it has become important to seek out some form of correspondence regarding obtaining permissions to upload mp3s of us playing shows. Is this allowable? (Is this an applicable forum?) Thanks for any/all help ~ ADCB

Hi all, I am latin percussionist and Lifelong Deadhead. I am planning to launch an equity crowdfund for a Latin Jazz Grateful Dead Tribute project called "The Latin Dead" but first reaching out to the Dead community in case there was some interested investors looking to take the ride and help us thrive! I have a detailed business plan I can provide for any serious inquiries. Please feel free to message me directly here or via email at... latindeadmusic@gmail.com

Thanks, Brenden

What do Electric Hummus, Dead Jam and the Grateful Friends all have in common? They are all Boston area tribute bands led by Todd Lena (lead guitar player, singer and band leader). Todd is one of the very best Jerry style guitar players on the planet. When I play some of Todd's music for a Dead Head, they think it's a trick. They don't recognize the singer, but they think it's Jerry playing the lead guitar.

Bar none, the best tribute band I've personally seen. Based in DFW, they occassionally go on the road. Keep an eye out.
I have not seen them since Kenny Withrow left the band, but the rhythm and drums are intact.
