One of the longest running Grateful Dead tribute bands in the world, Shakedown Street, makes its home in and around the Rocky Mountain region of North America. Spawned from jam sessions at the Ancient Mariner bar in Manitou Springs, Colorado in 1987, Shakedown Street quickly grew in popularity, and garnered a legion of loyal fans who refer to themselves as “Shakeheads”. In a few short years, throngs of “Shakeheads” could be found on the highways and byways of the Rocky Mountains, making their way to another Shakedown Street show.

Throughout the years, Shakedown Street has had the privilege of sharing the stage with many iconic musicians. Some of these include former Grateful Dead members Vince Welnick and Tom Constanten, as well as Melvin Seals of the Jerry Garcia Band, and Grateful Dead technician and keyboard wizard Bob Bralove. Others include Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo, The JGB Band, Hot Tuna, The David Nelson Band, NRPS, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Merl Saunders, Mitch Ryder, Spirit, Jerry Jeff Walker, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Big Brother and the Holding Company.

With a working repertoire of over two hundred songs, Shakedown Street is able to perform multi night runs without repetition, drawing equally from early and modern Grateful Dead songs, and weave together unique and unforgettable performances. Believing that it is good to give back to the planet, Shakedown Street performs charity and benefit engagements on an ongoing basis to help their local and global communities.
Enjoy the party!

Hey Rocko.. it’s Phyllis from Red Rocks.. just wanted to leave a reply on your great websight and bookings for this upcoming season. Im hoping to have some fun at this show.. You have a little of everything and alot of variety… I know how hard it is to keep such good music flowin’ in such a small venue. I always pass the word aout your place to my friends.. and will def need some fliers for Red Rocks for visitors this early spring/summer….
If you ever need a hand passin out fliers, website work,photos taken, checkin on the staff, errands.. I even handle the banking for about 30+ beer stands at RR during the summer as needed, and payroll… would love to just help… Red Rocks keeps me busy untill @ Further end o’ Sept…. then open schedule until May 1 (or so).. just a thought. I’m bored as hell right now. I’d prefer to be busy at a venue, have fun and Im blessed $$ is not an issue right now. Just a thought.. Peace!!
