Bearly Dead, a nationally-touring Grateful Dead tribute, is a true party band delivering a full-spectrum live experience filled with danceable energy, extraordinary performance antics, and world-class musicianship. The band's concert-style show celebrates the journey of the Grateful Dead from their earliest records until their final tours while weaving in potent classics from notable jam, rock, and funk artists. Each and every Grateful Dead member is honored through unique takes on the hits, b-sides, and deep cuts. Holding true to the spirit of the music, Bearly Dead frequently adds to their 250+ song catalog and continues to showcase spontaneous improvisation and exploratory jams – live and in-person – making each show a wildly cosmic experience you do not want to miss! Bearly Dead performed their first show at Church of Boston, in 2015, marking the beginning of its hallowed Wednesday Night Residency. Over the next 5 years the phrase “Never Miss A Wednesday Show” became ubiquitous around Boston and Bearly Dead was nominated many times for Boston Music Awards Live Music Residency of the Year. Fans really never knew what might happen, the band never knew what might happen! Bearly Dead shows have featured special appearances by Mike Campbell (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), Paul Wolstencroft (Slightly Stoopid), Steve Molitz (Particle/Phil Lesh & Friends), Kebbi Williams (Tedeschi Trucks Band), Rob Compa (Dopapod), Hayley Jane (Hayley Jane & The Primates), Richard James (Neighbor), and Johnny Trama (Dub Apocalypse) — and even a surprise appearance by Jerry Garcia’s “Wolf” guitar in 2018 on Jerry Garcia’s birthday. After becoming a staple in the Northeast US festival community with multiple appearances at Camp Creek, Jerry Jam, Strange Creek Campout, and many more, it was only a matter of time before Bearly Dead shows were being requested around the USA. In October 2022, Bearly Dead saddled up a van and began touring nationally, performing their interpretation of the catalog across the United States and growing the family all along the way. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/amherst/bearly-dead-at-the-drake-amherst-ma/200029943543449 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, concerts, performances, festivals, workshops, live-music, parties, art, music-festivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 13 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Amherst - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: TheDrake - **lat**: 42.376173312847 - **long**: -72.520151138306 - **full address**: TheDrake, 18 N Pleasant St, Amherst, MA 01002-1703, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Bearly Dead at The Drake (Amherst, MA) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/556e289a65bcd3bf23e212a427a913095dff22b7004711c4a04768c95f14b20d-rimg-w1200-h631-dc171d33-gmir?v=1776208789 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Bearly Dead at The Drake (Amherst, MA) being held? - **A:** Bearly Dead at The Drake (Amherst, MA) takes place on Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at TheDrake, 18 N Pleasant St, Amherst, MA 01002-1703, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Bearly Dead at The Drake (Amherst, MA)? - **A:** Bearly Dead at The Drake (Amherst, MA) is organized by DSP Shows. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at DSP Shows's events? - **A:** Attendees have given DSP Shows a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
