Dark Star Orchestra
Continuing the Grateful Dead Concert Experience!
The most talented and accomplished tribute band out there. Fanatical attention to detail. – Rolling Stone
“As close as you’ll get to the Grateful Dead.”
– New Times Newspapers
“One of the most durable and ingenious cover bands out there.”
– St. Paul Pioneer Press
“A cover band for people who don’t like cover bands.” – Washington Post
Using entire shows from the Grateful Dead’s decades of touring as a launching pad, Dark Star Orchestra recreates song for song performances straight from historic set lists. Not merely mimicking the Dead, DSO instead seeks the individual style of each era and offers its own interpretations and improvisations for a group famed and loved for their interpretations and improvisations.
Having toured worldwide to the tune of over 2000 shows, Dark Star Orchestra’s determined commitment to ‘raising the Dead’ has drawn them much critical acclaim.
Critics aren’t the only ones singing Dark Star Orchestra’s praises. Five original members of the Grateful Dead have played alongside DSO and have had this to say:
“Playing with Dark Star Orchestra is something that feels just exactly like it felt when I was playing with the Grateful Dead.”
– Donna Jean Godchaux, Grateful Dead vocalist, frequent DSO guest
