Strangers Stopping Strangers bring a fresh, youthful energy to the music of the Grateful Dead, capturing the soul and excitement of the legendary live shows while infusing their own fun-loving and free-spirited spin on the music.
Born in Hoboken, NJ, the band draws inspiration from their folk and bluegrass roots — much like the early influences of the Dead — while exploring levels of psychedelic improvisation seemingly as one brain, one unit.
Together, they unite both seasoned DeadHeads and a new generation of fans, taking them on a musical journey through the timeless and beloved catalogue.
With a detailed focus on vocal harmonies and an open-minded approach to instrumental experimentation, Strangers Stopping Strangers have quickly become one of the most exciting new Grateful Dead cover bands on the scene.
Come check out a show and see for yourself — don’t be a Stranger <3
