Established in 1995* the Dead Guise play Dead; as in the music of the Grateful Dead. The Guise are a covey of musicians living in the California Bay Area who have been profoundly inspired by the Dead's music. They attempt, in their own way, to recreate the special energy and spontaneity of a live Grateful Dead concert. The current line up consist of John Heffernan on rhythm guitar and vocals, Ken Younger on lead guitar and vocals, Shannon Taylor on drums and vocals and Mike Marino on bass and vocals.

At the heart of the Grateful Dead is the incredible amount of energy that is exchanged between the band and the audience at a live show... And that's the inspiration of the Dead Guise--to try their best to recreate that energy and share it with audiences who crave it.
