They have built their reputation as a hard living, hard playing, genre-straddling rock n roll band that can draw forth tears of joy one minute and then the pain of a heart-felt lament the next.

Equally at home acoustically or electrically they have toured extensively with headline shows in Spain and France, and across the UK. They performed a sold-out album launch show for PEACH at Rebellion in Manchester in February 2020 but were then forced to cancel their album tour due to the covid pandemic.

Playing the music of The Grateful Dead, the Dudes explore the songs and improvisations from their vast repertoire, emulating the sound, style, freedom and adventure of their live shows. More than a band, the Grateful Dead were a phenomenon – from precursors of psychedelic rock in the sixties to the highest grossing US touring act in the late ‘80s and ‘90s. As the saying goes, “There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert”.

Formed in 2016 by experienced musicians, the Dudes play in authentic style and aim to re-create the atmosphere and musical experience of a Dead concert – the tunes and songs, the jams, the unpredictable, the vibe – across at least 2 ½ hours of music.

Continuing their travels far and wide, the Dudes are now playing their very first gig in Cambridge – so come down and give them a good ol’ Grateful Dead welcome!
