About
Great Northern recreates both the music and the community that Grateful Dead fans know and love. Since forming in 2017, Great Northern has grown into the D.C. area's most fun and energetic Grateful Dead tribute band known for its ability to capture the creativity, dynamics and energy of the Grateful Dead’s music. Motivated by our dedicated fan base, Great Northern is proud to play our part in carrying forward the legacy of the music we hold so dear.
Great Northern is more than just a tribute band; it is a living bridge among three generations of Deadheads. The group was born from the very environment that defined the Grateful Dead—spontaneous, community-driven jams where its members first crossed paths. Today, the band features a unique lineup blending the firsthand experience of veterans who caught dozens of Dead shows with younger members who add a modern jam flavor.
The band is proud to have shared the stage with leading musicians of the genre including John Kadlecik, Rob Eaton, Skip Vangelas, and Zach Nugent.
Band Members:
Brian Rosenthal - Drums, Percussion
Matt Reiter - Lead Guitar
