Joe Russo's Almost Dead Tickets

Joe Russo's Almost Dead (JRAD) formed in 2013 in Brooklyn, NY, bringing a fresh, high-energy approach to Grateful Dead material. The core lineup has included Joe Russo on drums, Marco Benevento on keys, Dave Dreiwitz on bass, Scott Metzger on guitar, and Tom Hamilton on guitar. JRAD is known for extended, exploratory improvisation that turns each show into a unique musical journey. If you’re looking for a live experience where familiar tunes transform into sprawling jams, JRAD is a dependable pick.

On stage, JRAD blends tight rhythms with fearless exploration, inviting audiences to ride the ebb and flow of the music. They’ve sold out venues, earned critical praise, and become a trusted name for fans seeking a modern interpretation of classic Dead material.
