Hailing from Chicago, Rock & Rye began playing their high energy blend of Grateful Dead tunes in 2014. The band draws inspiration from the Grateful Dead's extensive catalogue, blending originals  and covers from legends like Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash and The Beatles. Song transitions, unique set lists, and full show recreations are a feature at Rock & Rye concerts.

Whether you're in the mood for an intimate acoustic performance "Half a Cup of Rock & Rye" or a high-energy electric set "Rock & Rye", we aim to recreate the Grateful Dead's diverse sound while embodying their fun and free-spirited essence.  Join us for an unforgettable musical journey!
