Cubensis: Grateful Dead Tribute in Big Bear Lake

Cubensis: Grateful Dead Tribute

Grateful Dead Tribute Band Cubensis

Cubensis has been recreating the Grateful Dead live show experience since 1987. The Los Angeles-based jam band has been hailed for its technical mastery and Dead-like spirit. They flesh out Dead songs with their own improvisations and elements of spontaneity and virtuosity, which is very much in keeping with how the Dead themselves performed. Former members of the actual Grateful Dead — such as keyboardists Vince Welnick and Tom Constanten — have even performed on-stage with the tribute group, and both late frontman Jerry Garcia and guitarist Bob Weir have given their blessing to the band and its mission to help keep the Dead’s music alive, from classics like “Fire on the Mountain” to “Truckin’,” “Sugaree” and more. At this show at The Cave in Big Bear, Cubensis will perform two full sets of Dead and Jerry Garcia favorites.
