Raising the Dead is ringing in the new years with a series of gigs we hope you'll join us for: 

Thursday 12/29 at The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor with Jerry's Tone
Sunday 1/1/2023 at The Sardine Room in Plymouth for an Acoustic Pajama Brunch

Also, Matt Cole will be playing with Hell In A Bucket on New Years Eve in Lansing.  Hope we see you at one or all, and Happy New Year!

The great shows just keep coming!  This time it was back on the Otus stage with our friends "The Alexes!" Alex Gauthier on keys and Alex Smith from Kids Under The Carpet sitting in on guitar.  The entire evening was so much fun, energy just pouring from the stage to the ample crowd.  Alex G's usually exhaustive piano rig was pared down to 1 keyboard and a couple of amps, but the "less is more" approach really came through the music!  Stranger was a standout version, with the band taking it waaaaay furthur than ever before, thanks to Alex Smith's sit in.   Golden Road is a debut we waited too long to play, judging by the crowd reaction to the sing along, and just what is there to be said about Sailor>Circumstance>Terrapin>Help>Slip>Viola? You'll just have to check out the videos to find out!  

Big thanks to Jody Bauman for live painting and Mike Chojnoski for taking the amazing photos above with Alex Gauthier's camera. 

RTD returns to the Blind Pig on December 29.

Raising the Dead returns to the mothership this Saturday December 10 for a grand show of epic proportions!  Get your tickets before the day of the show to ensure they don't sell out (and save $5!).  

What a party!  We enjoyed a long long crazy crazy night at the Rumpus room with a full house of Jenebah's friends, birthday cake and cupcakes, and an amazing party vibe.  Jenebah even got in on the action, singing Me & Bobby McGee and Man Smart, Woman Smarter, and she slayed!  Angela and Tom from Dead at the Winery also joined us for The Weight, what a thrill! 

RTD is doing lots of private parties lately, contact us if you want to book yours!
