Great Northern recreates both the music and the community that Grateful Dead fans know and love. The band's members met through attending weekly Grateful Dead open jams and quickly developed a strong musical connection. Since forming in 2017, Great Northern has grown into the D.C. area's most fun and energetic Grateful Dead tribute bands 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.
“"... one of the most memorable concerts ever at The Hamilton Live!"”

“Google tells you how busy the bar is and what the busiest times are, my friend checks his phone mid-show and it says it is the busiest that the venue as ever been! It was a great show. I tell you, Great Northern, they did it, man. They opened with Shakedown but mixed it up with a good mix of tunes in there with something for everybody.”
