After an extended set break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, live music is returning in a big way to stages across New Jersey this summer.
It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that as rusty strings are being dusted off, the sound at the forefront of live music’s resurrection is that of the Grateful Dead.
“The people who come to see the Grateful Dead music, it’s beyond music, it’s community,” said Dana Carroll, bassist of the Dead tribute act Brown Eyed Women. “I think that is maybe some of the difference, why these bands are kind of critical to the return of live music.”
