The Grateful Dead have been resurrected in the form of Dark Star Orchestra. Formed in 1997, this tribute band came up with the novel idea of recreating complete sets from The Grateful Dead's gigantic list of concerts. They adapt their playing and sound depending on what era of Dead they're tackling on the night, and while they slavishly recreate the sound of the band down to the minutest detail, the band often embark on epic improvisations that would make their heroes proud.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise may sound like the title of a Japanese game show, but the band's mature, genre-defying sound is as surprising as their choice of moniker. Drawing upon facets of grunge, folk, blues and unapologetic pop, the North Carolina natives craft upbeat anthems that underlie lead singer Sam Melo's poetic, howling lyrics and vocals.

This Boston-formed country band has been winning over music fans with their diverse style since winning the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2006 and self-financing the recording of their debut album 'In This Episode'. With their key influences in classic pop and swing era jazz, they often cite The Beatles as their main inspiration.

Slightly Stoopid are now in their second decade of making music and are showing no sign of slowing down. This eclectic band continues to create an energizing sound that's been described as a "bath of positive energy". Slightly Stoopid has released nine studio albums and four live - with their latest studio album being Everyday Life, Everyday People.

Grammy nominee Keyshia Cole set to light up North America! Grammy Award nominee and hip-hop soul sensation Keyshia Cole rose from Oakland, California, to become one of the defining voices of 2000s R&B. Her debut album The Way It Is was a platinum-selling success. Over twenty years later, and she's still going strong - there's nothing like hearing her singular soprano tone live and in-person - so get your tickets while you can!

After the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995, a deluge of Grateful Dead cover bands rose to pay tribute to their legacy. Considering their cult status amongst fans, its easy to see why such outfits flourish, but there aren't many that carry the stamp of approval from living members Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. Formed by Furthur drummer Joe Russo, Joe Russo's Almost Dead has a pedigree that marks it as a torchbearer of Garcia and co's legendary songbook.
