# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Dead Ahead
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 11:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Dead Ahead exploded onto the New England music scene in the fall of 2024, turning their weekly residency at The Sanctuary in Maynard, MA, into a must-see event. Rooted in the Grateful Dead, they deliver high-energy, feel-good performances packed with deep jams, soaring harmonies, and nonstop grooves. Drawing inspiration from Little Feat and The Allman Brothers Band, they stand out with an ever-expanding repertoire that blends Dead classics, deep cuts, and originals for a fresh, dynamic show every night.

At the core is the powerhouse husband-and-wife guitar duo, Ryan and Sonya Rae Taylor. Ryan, a virtuosic guitarist known for his masterful slide playing, brings grit and soul, while Sonya Rae—a true triple threat as a singer, guitarist, and former Nashville staffsongwriter—adds raw power and finesse.

On drums, Alex MacDougall delivers gutsy, soulful vocals, a rare force in the jam scene. The lineup is rounded out by Justin Lopes (formerly of Bearly Dead) on keyboards, Matt Caporale on bass, Joe Peck on guitar and vocals, and Brendan Tommaney on percussion, adding infectious energy and deep rhythmic texture.

What sets Dead Ahead apart is their ability to seamlessly meld medleys, unexpected turns, and deep improvisation, creating unforgettable moments filled with surprises. No two shows are the same, keeping audiences on their toes as the band weaves songs together in ways that feel both fresh and deeply rooted in tradition.

With top-tier musicianship, unpredictable setlists, and a sound that goes beyond the typical tribute, Dead Ahead isn’t just keeping the music alive—they’re pushing it forward, one epic show at a time
