Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Denver, Colorado, Steely Dead is a national touring band that has satisfied the curiosity of music lovers with their unique blend of Grateful Dead and Steely Dan. Comprised of four exceptionally talented musicians – Dave Abear on guitar, Matt Abear on bass, Chris Sheldon on drums, and Dylan Teifer on keys – Steely Dead has gained a dedicated following with their electrifying performances and soulful interpretations of classic tunes.

Steely Dead’s repertoire is a carefully crafted fusion of Grateful Dead and Steely Dan songs, between the arrangement and precision studio recordings of rock legends Steely Dan, cross-pollinated with the Grateful Dead’s free-flowing, melodic improvisation and masterful song segues. Steely Dead merges these major concepts together infusing the influence into each band, all the while creating an original jam element with the song segues. Steely Dead’s performances are a musical journey that takes audiences on a nostalgic trip through the golden era of rock and roll.

As a national touring band, Steely Dead has built a loyal fan base that eagerly anticipates their shows and follows them from city to city. Their performances are not just concerts, but communal gatherings where fans come together to celebrate the music they love, dance, and create lasting memories.

Steely Dead’s performances are a testament to the power of live music, bringing people together and creating an unforgettable experience that resonates long after the last note fades.

Steely Dead is not just a band; it’s a musical experience that captures the hearts and souls of music lovers everywhere

    I’m cruising down by the Embarcadero, shirt open, wind whistling through my hair. And I wonder, wonder where the tickets are? My vintage white sneakers insist on dancing and I’ve promised that lady a drink with an umbrella.

  2. Cormac Burke on July 30, 2024 at 2:46 pm

    would love to catch the DeadDan!

  3. Rich Plevin on July 30, 2024 at 3:00 pm

    Sounds like a lot of fun. I’d love to see them.

  4. DandyDeadHead on July 30, 2024 at 4:03 pm

    No one believed me when I told them these guys are awesome. “That’s a stupid combination” “That doesn’t work” “Are you effing crazy?” Then they went and saw them at the Mission this spring and were BLOWN AWAY!

    I’m ready to “go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin’ ’round and ’round”

      I’m bringing my sister down to Portland for her birthday the weekend of November 1st and I’d looooove to win tickets for us to see Steely Dead!
      Rock on.

  5. Cindy B on July 30, 2024 at 6:39 pm

    Love these guys! Missed the last show at the Mission. Looking forward to this one and winning tix would make it so much sweeter!

  6. Cora on July 30, 2024 at 8:25 pm

    Sounds like tons of fun! Would love to win tix!

  7. James Tiefenthaler on July 30, 2024 at 8:47 pm

    Great!

  8. Jeff Cosloy on July 31, 2024 at 7:16 am

    You’d imagine rampant cognitive dissonance at such an event but the joy is amazing! The Dan covers are meticulously performed while the Dead covers favor the deeper cuts; no Uncle John’s Band!

  9. Brig on July 31, 2024 at 10:03 am

    The music never stopped …

  10. Jimbo on August 1, 2024 at 2:47 pm

    Dead & The Dan. What’s not to like. Twirling day glow freaks who used to paint there face, they joined the human race, some things will never change!

  11. David on August 1, 2024 at 11:20 pm

    This show definitely caught my eye a few months back, and I know they just played at the Mission Theatre recently. So if they’re at the Crystal Ballroom, they must’ve did well!

  12. Deb Maryanov on August 5, 2024 at 11:44 pm

    Sounds like a show for dancing!

  13. Doug on August 6, 2024 at 3:08 pm

    if we win, can we spin?

  14. Peter on August 6, 2024 at 3:24 pm

    This would be cool!

  15. Nick on August 6, 2024 at 5:18 pm

    This would be awesome to go. I cannot convince enough of my fellow Deadheads that these guys are smokin’

  16. Charlie Y. on August 8, 2024 at 4:58 am

    Guess the band chose a better name than ‘Dan of the Dead’ (But I’ll bet they considered this one before rejecting it for being too macabre.)

    • Angela Bouchard on September 3, 2024 at 12:42 pm

      One more do it again!

  17. Richard Potts on August 13, 2024 at 1:58 pm

    Ok, this sounds like fun!
    Let’s go!

  18. Matthew on August 15, 2024 at 9:25 am

    Awesome, hope I get to see

  19. Matthew on August 15, 2024 at 4:43 pm

    Sounds fun!

  20. Mike Rogan on August 15, 2024 at 5:36 pm

    Thanks for providing musical opportunities for free. It’s appreciated!

  21. Chandra Rams on August 16, 2024 at 8:25 am

    I grew up listening to Steely Dan and the Dead with my dad. I would love to take him to this. It would make his day!

  22. Sam Munger on August 16, 2024 at 12:43 pm

    I LOVE Steely Dan and the Dead! I’d be dead and in heaven to hear their tunes combined.

  23. Matt on August 20, 2024 at 1:11 pm

    I love both the Dead and Steely Dan, so why not together?

  24. Tommy Baker on August 20, 2024 at 2:58 pm

    Steely Dead? No way! How great is that?

  25. Thomas Havey on August 23, 2024 at 4:46 pm

    One way or another this darkness has got to give, but I’m never gonna do it without my Fez on!
    Let’s go!!

  26. Dan on August 26, 2024 at 4:04 pm

    Funky combination, I would love to see this!

  27. Angela Bouchard on August 27, 2024 at 3:08 pm

    Funky Dead is the jam! I’m here for it.

  28. madeline n on August 30, 2024 at 10:10 am

  33. Brad on September 5, 2024 at 4:13 pm

    A blend of Steely Dan AND Grateful Dead?!?! I honestly have no idea what to expect but I’m sure it’ll be awesome. I wonder if they bring out the flute a little or if it’s actually like covers? I guess I’ll have to wait and see and see I shall 😉

  34. Dineen O'Rourke on September 10, 2024 at 3:19 pm

    lets do it!!

  35. James Rowell on September 10, 2024 at 5:37 pm

  36. Amelia on September 17, 2024 at 11:12 am

    What a fun mashup, would love to check this out!

  37. Renee Stephenson on September 18, 2024 at 6:42 pm

    Oooh that’s a great combo! Hope I get to go.

  38. Tami on September 22, 2024 at 9:53 pm

    Need to show the daughter but we listen to Growing Up

  39. Desyre on September 22, 2024 at 9:54 pm

    Want to get to hear what my mom grew up with!!!

  40. Jeff on September 22, 2024 at 10:00 pm

    Never been to a concert. Love to go to this one.

  41. Martin Anderson on September 24, 2024 at 2:52 pm

    What a great mash up! I’d love to attend if you choose me. Thank you!!

  42. Russell on September 30, 2024 at 7:00 pm

    I am coming to Portland for the first time with my new old love, my childhood crush found out my marriage of 30 years ended horribly and now I am floating on a cloud and loving life with my dream come true Erin. She is going to show me the city, we are kicking off our Trip Halloween night and staying through the weekend. The reason for our trip is so she can see her old friends Floater on Saturday night so this show would be sprinkles on our magical weekend! We both love the Dead and I am just intrigued how these guys will birth this crazy jazzy rock and roll love child?

  43. Marla Dishongh on October 1, 2024 at 4:02 pm

    Such a great combo of guitar styles, really would love to go!

  44. Phil on October 8, 2024 at 2:40 pm

  45. Jacob R. Smith on October 8, 2024 at 4:21 pm
