Zach Nugent’s Dead Set isn’t just another tribute; it’s a living, breathing conversation with the music of the Grateful Dead.Led by guitarist and vocalist Zach Nugent, the band channels the spirit of the Dead with rare authenticity, not through imitation, but through devotion to the craft of improvisation, tone, and emotional honesty.
Nugent’s uncanny feel for Jerry Garcia’s style has earned him respect across the jam scene, but it’s his own musicality and intention that set Dead Set apart. Every performance is a journey, equal parts exploration and reverence, where no two nights sound the same, yet each feels like home.
Over the years, Nugent has shared the stage with members of the Grateful Dead, Phish, The Jerry Garcia Band, and beyond, further cementing his place among the next generation of players carrying this music forward with authenticity and heart.
Dead Set’s lineup, drawn from some of the finest players in the scene, brings a fearless energy to the stage. Together they blur the line between then and now, carrying forward a musical tradition built on risk, joy, and connection. Whether in a packed club or an outdoor festival, their shows remind audiences why this music still matters and why it always will.
With growing acclaim and an ever-expanding following, Zach Nugent’s Dead Set continues to prove that the spirit of the Dead isn’t just alive, it’s evolving.
