This year's submissions period has ended. Check out all the great performance with the Official 2016 DEAD COVERS PROJECT playlist.
Whether you play just like Jerry or like to give the Grateful Dead's beloved classics a unique spin, the 2016 Dead Covers Project wants you! We're calling all musicians - near and far - to share your love for the music and magic of the Dead through video. Show off your musical chops and you just might find yourself front and center on Dead.net during the month of February! The rules are simple - all video submissions must contain a song either written by or recorded by the Dead. How that song is interpreted, however, is entirely up to you.
Upload your video to YouTube, tag it "DeadCoversProject," and we'll make it available to view on the band's official YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/gratefuldead. Can't carry a tune? Join the fun by "liking" your favorites on YouTube.

update on unseen videos...
If you're worried about whether your video went to the right place, do the YouTube search for DeadCoversProject 2014. If it's there, all should be well. An actual person is in the process of moving them from Point A to Point B, and they will arrive on the Grateful Dead YouTube page as soon as that happens. Meanwhile you can use the embed code to post them here TOO, but the big thing is to make sure they got posted correctly, as above.
Thanks!

I love these guys, their music and their entire vibe, as well as being part of the GBB family.They are carrying on grateful traditions in more ways than just the articulate and tasty samples of their respectful renditions of Jerry and Grateful Dead material.

Does anyone know why some of the videos posted here don't get the embedded player and thumbnail? Only the URL shows, but not the thumbnail and player. Are they posting it wrong?

I just uploaded this slide show video with my recording of one my all time favorite Hunter/Garcia songs. I hope you like it.
Hey all,
This was our just-in-time entry for the DCP...guess I should've uploaded it here, too? An uptempo version of Black Peter with some sweet guitar-picking and a surprise instrument thrown in for good measure. Enjoy!
Thanks to dead.net for sponsoring the Dead Covers Project 2014! Good job!
Here are some suggestions for the 2015 DCP:
1) I saw quite a few posts from people wondering if their video had been "picked up" by dead.net for the project. Consider sending a message to the YouTube account holder to let them know "Yes we've found your video".
2) DEFINITELY send a message to the YouTube account holder if a video is going to be on your front page in the "Featured Artist" section. I am not embarrassed to say that I was THRILLED when my video showed up there, but I might have overlooked it if I wasn't a habitual dead.net lurker...
Thanks again brothers (and sisters). Peace.

My one and only 2015 Dead Covers Project Entry, in honor of the 50th and the Fare Thee Well shows. See everyone in Chicago: http://youtu.be/UuD-3-iORc8
Folks, please be sure to tag your videos DeadCoversProject when you upload them. Otherwise the great database in the sky will miss them and so will the judges. No one wants this. Thanks!
