About Us
Imagine seeing the Grateful Dead around 1971 but at a smaller venue... still not fully ripened, bristling with raw energy and an aura of psychedelic improvisational uncertainty – the feeling that – musically – anything could happen any given night.
That’s what seeing Shakedown Citi is like.
The music feels alive, fresh and new again. Each song is a journey that can take potentially new directions, twists and turns at any time. The interplay, communication and musicality of the performers has inspired people that don’t even like the Grateful Dead to LIKE Shakedown Citi.
And if you’re a fan of segues, transitions, song combinations and creative, fun and interesting set lists encompassing an expansive repertoire – Shakedown Citi is definitely your jam.
Each performance is also very carefully recorded and balanced so take a tour through the archives and hear for yourself.
This is what the future of Dead-based music sounds like, and the future is bright.
