In 1996 the newly formed band, The Deadbeats, put on an acoustic concert at the historic Nevada Theatre in Nevada City, California.  The concert was recorded and became their debut album.  Now celebrating their 30th year, The Deadbeats return for an acoustic concert in the refurbished Nevada Theatre presented by Paul Emery.

The Deadbeats understand the essence of the Grateful Dead's music and believe that it is best experienced live. Since their debut at Nevada City's Mad Dogs and Englishmen Pub on August 4, 1994, The Deadbeats have played the music of the Grateful Dead with a respectful nod to the long-form rock and roll sound they pioneered.  The lineup has seen changes over the years but the core group remains intact and continues to deliver exceptional shows that draw in big crowds.

Featuring Tom Menig, Gary Campus, Eric Menig, Rob Kopp, Glenn Tucker, Peter Wilson, and Jenn Knapp, The Deadbeats bring a unique blend of improvisation and reverence to the Grateful Dead's extensive songbook. Their dedication to honoring the music while infusing their own creative spark sets them apart and creates a truly magical experience for fans old and new.

Guitarist Peter Wilson reflects on the enduring power of the Dead's music, noting, "The songs have taken on a life of their own – they still go deep." Guitarist Tom Menig echoes this sentiment, sharing, "We love to jam..."

The legacy of the Grateful Dead is undeniably one of the most revered in rock history, with a staggering 2300 live shows performed during their illustrious thirty-year career. Even after the band's heyday, spin-offs such as The Other Ones and Dead and Company have managed to keep the spirit of the Dead alive, captivating new generations of music lovers along the way. Such is the enduring power of the Grateful Dead's music that it continues to resonate deeply with audiences worldwide, a sentiment echoed by The Deadbeats as they pay homage to the band's late great frontman, Jerry Garcia, on what would have been his 78th birthday.
