The details

About this event

Seaside Zoo brings the spirit of the Grateful Dead to life with their dynamic tribute performance. This Madison-based band features a blend of veteran musicians and fresh faces, ensuring a unique take on beloved classics. The communal vibe they create is infectious, making it a must-see for fans of the iconic band.

Shank Hall, known for its cozy atmosphere and excellent acoustics, is the perfect venue for this kind of show. With its limited seating, arriving early is recommended to snag a good spot. Whether you're a die-hard Deadhead or just love live music, this event promises a night of great tunes and good vibes.

From the organizer

Seaside Zoo is a Madison, WI tribute to the Grateful Dead. We’re comprised of longtime Madison musicians Jonas Pritzl, Tim and Sheryl Hall, and Rob Bloch (formerly of New Speedway Players) with the fresh new twist of Kyle O'Hara and Lucas Trilling (of The Bellybutton Club) and Zach Watson from Milwaukee. The communal spirit surrounding this music is something special and brings joy to both the musicians and fans alike. We simply want to play the music we love and bring people together to share a smile....Peace. ...Calliope wail like a seaside zoo The very last lately inquired about you It's really very one or two The first you wanted the last I knew...
