Dames of the Dead Female-lead Grateful Dead/classic rock cover band

We need parking for 3 vehicles close to the load in door or space to load in and park elsewhere. We will also need multiple power spots, minimum of 3 sockets. The performance space must be large enough to fit 3 (if hiring trio) or 6 (if hiring full band) plus gear. A storage area for gear would be helpful.

We need address, special load in instructions, what time we are able to load into the venue, and any other scheduling times (sound check, dinner, etc).

We have a small PA system that requires a couple of power outlets. We have a couple of small lights but they only fill a small space.

We are more than happy to play a Spotify playlist of the client’s or our choosing before and during sets.

The best gig we’ve ever done was playing at Boulevardia at Crown Center Kansas City summer 2024.
One of our other Gratefuk Dead tribute bands has played at Grateful Dead Night at the K for the Royals baseball game the last sever years, and that has been very exciting as well.

We love playing at all types of events!

Brooke & Michelle teamed up years ago performing in many bands together. Dames of the Dead features these two musical powerhouses, and is proud to join forces with many other friends in the community. Whether performing as a duo, trio or full band, Dames of the Dead features many of the memorable tunes of the Grateful Dead including other music of the classic rock genre - creatively known for blending & combining melodies with each other.

The Grateful Dead is our biggest influence.

If we are providing the PA, we need minimum 2 hours to load in and set up. If PA is provided and set up for us, we need minimum 1 hour load in and set up time.
Sets typically run 1-1/2 hrs. If playing a 3 hour gig, we will play 2 sets with a 10-20 min intermission. If playing a 4 hour gig, we will do 3 sets with two intermissions. We typically have more music ready to play than we have time, so sometimes we go a little over to finish the set.

We will play outside. Covered and flat is preferred, with an accessible path to load in gear. We also require power.

We are more than happy to accommodate requests and can discuss further upon hiring.
We play mostly Grateful Dead and classic rock, but know a wide variety of genres and styles.

We are a fun dance group with energy, beautiful full harmonies, seamless transitions between songs, and original mashups of Grateful Dead and classic rock artists.
