The Manitou Music Foundation presents one of the most exciting new super-groups to hit the Colorado jam band scene in years, Steely Dead!
Steely Dead combines the music of Steely Dan and The Grateful Dead and features former members of: The Jerry Garcia Band, Leftover Salmon, and members of DeadPhish Orchestra! Opening the show are several local Manitou musicians including: Grant Sabin, Michael Galvin, Ryan Flores, Jason Miller with Derek Gray, and Manitou Vibe.



Sonic worlds collide, between the structure, arrangement and precision studio recordings of rock legends Steely Dan, cross-pollinated with the Grateful Dead’s free-flowing, melodic improvisation and masterful song segues. Steely Dead merges these major concepts together while infusing the influence unto each band. For example, taking the Grateful Dead’s rocking set ender Deal and Steely Dan’s Reelin’ In the Years creating the mashup Dealin’ in the Years. Steely Dead is committed to the nuance of both bands while remaining playful with jam segues between songs, and delivering a unique musical blend. For fans of both or either one of these great bands.
