This year marks the 30th anniversary of the local Grateful Dead tribute band, The Deadbeats.

“It’s hard to really believe that 30 years have passed. We’ve been together as long as the Grateful Dead were together. It’s kind of mindblowing that we’ve been able to entertain people and have a good time doing it for 30 years,” said Gary Campus (Band Beyond Description), original and current drummer for The Deadbeats.
