About Playing Dead 🎵

If you’re a fan of the Grateful Dead, you won’t want to miss Playing Dead. Known for their authentic sound and deep jams, Playing Dead is a Massachusetts-based tribute band that channels the spirit, energy, and improvisational soul of Jerry Garcia and the Dead. Whether it’s a late-night show at Soundcheck or a chill acoustic session, they never fail to capture the essence of a true Dead experience.

Their full band will hit the stage at Soundcheck Studios later that evening, but this special acoustic pre-show is your chance to catch the group in an intimate, laid-back setting—right here inside South Shore Buds!

🪕 Expect stripped-down renditions of classics like:

• “Friend of the Devil”
• “Ripple”
• “Bird Song”
• “Uncle John’s Band”

This is a perfect opportunity to shop your favorite cannabis brands, hang out with local music lovers, and enjoy live acoustic music just steps away from our menu.
