Raising The Dead is playing two big shows in March - At Trixie's in Hamtramck on the 9th and the Watermark Bar and Grille in St. Clair Shores on the 15th.  We are excited to announce that we will be joined at both gigs by drummer Nick Serocki, on loan from Deadicated. His percussionist partner Josh Sehn will also join us at the Watermark!  We can't wait to share the groove with them, and especially to have our first 2-drummer show March 15th.  

The Trixie's gig on March 9 is part of the 4-day Hamtramck Music Festival, where one $15 wristband gives you admission to dozens of shows, and the proceeds go to benefit the Hamtramck Public Schools Music Program.  No cash will be accepted at the door, you must have a wristband.  Here's how to get yours. 

The Watermark is a beautiful venue overlooking Lake St. Clair, and they hope to make it a premiere destination for great music.  Raising The Dead has the chance to be one of their core acts, but we need you to come out and see us!  Expect the songs you know and love and some great jams in our own virtuoso style, held together by Deadicated's Double-Drummer Duo.  It's the place to be - see you there!

On Saturday, February 16, 2019, Raising The Dead took the stage at Larkin's Bar and Grill in Westland, MI, and we brought the best American rock and roll has to offer with us.  Playing for a crowd of both appreciative regulars and expectant Deadheads, we worked through 180 minutes of jam rock bliss.  It was a special occasion, as we welcomed back our original drummer, TW Coleman, to hold the Kreutzmann seat for the evening.  He helped navigate us through a ton of double-digit jams, including Althea, Scarlet>Fire and China>Rider, and epic versions of Playin' in the Band>Uncle John's Band>Playin' In The Band and Eyes of the World.  For the first time in a RTD gig, Jake brought out his slide - catch his tasty playing in our Set III closer, The Wheel. 

Thanks to all the fans (especially the Home Shopping Network) who made it out for the gig.  Iy you missed it or want to relive it, you can check out the full-show soundboard audio below, and expect our favorite jams on our YouTube and Facebook pages soon!
