About this event
Fronted by former Melvin Seals & JGB guitarist Zach Nugent, Dead Set is an extraordinary ensemble that brings the Grateful Dead's timeless music to life with remarkable precision, authenticity, and passion. Celebrated for his uncanny ability to channel the spirit and virtuosic guitar work of Jerry Garcia, Nugent leads a tight-knit lineup of world-class musicians through the Dead's vast, ethereal catalog. From the cosmic improvisations of "Dark Star" to the high-energy grooves of "Sugar Magnolia," the band's spellbinding jams and infectious enthusiasm capture the exact magic that made the Grateful Dead legendary. Jimmy's features a full-service restaurant, and food is available for purchase at every performance. Doors open at 5:30 PM, when you can order dinner directly from your ticketed seat, no separate dinner reservations needed! Kitchen service runs from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
