About this Event
The Englishtown Project
The Englishtown Project is a unique tribute to one of the most legendary concerts in rock history — the Grateful Dead’s epic 1977 show at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. Formed by longtime New Riders of the Purple Sage member Michael Falzarano, the band revives the magic of that historic day by celebrating the music of the Grateful Dead, The Marshall Tucker Band, and New Riders of the Purple Sage. What began as a one-off show at Brooklyn Bowl has grown into a movement, with over 150 performances and counting.
More than just a tribute act, The Englishtown Project mixes deep cuts, crowd favorites, and even original material inspired by the Southern rock, cosmic country, and psychedelic roots that defined the era. With a rotating setlist and a “call it out, we might play it” attitude, every show becomes a fresh celebration of timeless American music and the communal spirit that keeps it alive.
