About GRATEFUL DUB: a Reggae-Infused Tribute to the Grateful Dead – Grateful Roots 2026 Tour Support: Roots of Creation
Grateful Dub takes the sprawling catalog of the Grateful Dead and reimagines it through the lens of reggae and dub music, a combination that proves surprisingly natural given both traditions’ emphasis on groove, improvisation, and communal experience. Roots of Creation anchors the project with a deep understanding of both musical worlds. The result is something that honors the Dead’s spirit while creating an entirely new way to experience familiar songs.
