Steely Dead

‬‭ Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Denver, Colorado, Steely Dead is a national touring‬‭ band that has satisfied the curiosity of music lovers with their unique blend of Grateful Dead and‬‭ Steely Dan. Comprised of four exceptionally talented musicians – Dave Abear on guitar, Matt‬‭ Abear on bass, Chris Sheldon on drums, and Dylan Teifer on keys – Steely Dead has gained a‬‭ dedicated following with their electrifying performances and soulful interpretations of classic‬‭ tunes.‬

‭ Steely Dead’s repertoire is a carefully crafted fusion of Grateful Dead and Steely Dan songs,‬‭ between the 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 infusing the influence into each‬‭ band, all the while creating an original jam element with the song segues. Steely Dead’s‬‭ performances are a musical journey that takes audiences on a nostalgic trip through the golden‬‭ era of rock and roll.‬

‭ As a national touring band, Steely Dead has built a loyal fan base that eagerly anticipates their‬‭ shows and follows them from city to city. Their performances are not just concerts, but‬‭ communal gatherings where fans come together to celebrate the music they love, dance, and‬‭ create lasting memories.‬

‭ Steely Dead’s performances are a testament to the power of live music, bringing people‬‭ together and creating an unforgettable experience that resonates long after the last note fades.‬‭ Steely Dead is not just a band; it’s a musical experience that captures the hearts and souls of‬‭ music lovers everywhere‬
