Mark and Elizabeth Dizik both celebrate decade birthdays on July 15, and they chose to have Raising The Dead come party with them! Their back porch made a perfect stage and a great time was had by all. They found us at the Sardine Room playing as an acoustic quartet, so that's the show they wanted. Thanks for a magical night, we wish you many more decades to rock that "Touch of Grey." Next weekend, we play another private birthday party in Franklin.

Deadheads, rejoice! We will return to the Park Theater in Holland on Saturday, October 12 for an evening of the best American music. You can get advance tickets for $15 here or $20 tickets the day of at the box office.
Here's a look back at our last gig at the park on 9-12-2022: This gig was a nod to 1971 Dead, a year when they consistently played without a keyboard player, as documented on the Skull & Roses album. We exclusively played repertoire from that year. Highlights included Loser, our debuts of Me & Bobby McGee, and Turn On Your Lovelight. Lovelight was joined by English Joe's Stephen Boersma on Saxophone, and it was an amazing way to cap the evening. The band and audience were all smiles all night, and that comes through the performance captured. Thanks to Nicholas Zabrodsky for coordinating another fun benefit show in Lansing. Last year, we played for The Ukraine Children's Fund that Nicholas put on with special guest Larry McCray. This time, it was a Rock the Vote benefit with Big L & Code Blu and Terry Barber (aka Papa Strings). As it turns out, we were fortunate to play the last show at Green Dot Stables Lansing. (Not-so) fun fact: we've played the last show at 3 different bars: The Rockery in Wyandotte, Otus Supply in Ferndale, and now Green Dot Stables, and it is always sad to see them go.

On Sunday, June 30, Raising The Dead will perform as part of a Rock the Vote benefit at the Green Dot Stables in Lansing. Opening will be R & B trio B!G L & CODE BLU. It all goes down from 4-7pm (probably later!) We are excited to return to Lansing, thanks to our friend and fan, Brother Nick Zabrodsky. Tickets are only $10! See you there.
We are excited to finally release our full performance from the Red Wings Grateful Dead Night on January 13, 2024. Previously released as an album on all streaming services and as a 15-minute section of the show, we've made the entire show available to you. We hope it helps you relive the magic if you were there or experience it for the first time if you have not!
Thanks to all the fans who submitted their footage for inclusion. Do you see yours? Raising The Dead returns to the stage in Plymouth and Lansing the weekend of June 29-30. photos: William Morgan It was a magical night of boss-level Dead for our packed-house return to the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor. Our favorite sound tech Adam got us dialed in just exactly perfect at sound check, and we were ready to go. But first, we were joined by the stage debut of Groove Monkey Trio - featuring our own drummer Chaim Tolwin and his kids: 6 year old Nate on the bass, and 10 year old Elijah on the keys! Matt joined them for their last song and the crowd was really blown away by their expertise and poise.
We got to our turn, and we turned it out. Alex, Bill, Chaim, Dave, and Matthew began with Playin in the band, segueing into a deeply funky Shakedown Street. We made a left turn into Brown Eyed Women, and gazinta'd into Bill's awesome take on Black Throated Wind. From there, we nailed the classic trifecta Help On The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower, segueing back to Playin. We were at the end of the first set but we weren't done yet, it was our friend Shacole's birthday! We serenaded with the traditional Happy Birthday, before dropping into The Beatle's "Birthday" to end the first set proper. Dave announced, "We will be back in exactly 15 minutes." 30 minutes or so later, we hit back with a saucy seguefest: Stranger > Mississippi > Estimated > Althea > Looks Like Rain > Drums > Space > Not Fade Away > Sugar Magnolia > Touch of Grey > Sunshine Daydream. There are so many second set highlights: Alex's incredible lead vocals on Althea, Bill & Dave harmonizing on Rain, Chaim & Matt dueting on the drum kit, the list just goes on and on. You have to hear it to believe it, and good news, we have great soundboard recordings and lots of video to produce and publish.
