Grateful Dub with Roots of Creation

Join us on September 22 at the Mateel Community Center for Grateful Dub: a Reggae-infused tribute to the Grateful Dead!

RoC (Roots of Creation) has taken on a unique new project: Grateful Dub: a Reggae-infused tribute to Jerry Garcia & The Grateful Dead. Combining their longtime love for Reggae-Dub style music and the Grateful Dead, RoC reworked some of the world’s favorite Dead tunes into a new studio album. RoC had the pleasure of working in the studio with the legendary 5-time Grammy winner Errol Brown who was Bob Marley’s sound engineer for this project.

Grateful Dub is also being performed live in its entirety at festivals, theatres, and clubs around the country and features rotating live special guests that has included Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band), Scott Guberman (Phil Lesh), Zach Nugent, RyMo, AG, & Paul W. (Slightly Stoopid), G. Love (G. Love & Special Sauce), Mihali (Twiddle), Dan Kelly (Fortunate Youth) and others. Grateful Dub captures the spirit and magic of the Grateful Dead while laying it down in Reggae-Dub style.
