Over 200 songs from the Grateful Dead vaults and a collection of groovy jams from your favorite artists from the day. "One of the premier tribute bands in Northern California. The group has spent years infusing the classic sensibilities of the Dead's catalog with their own flair and energy" - Good Times, Santa Cruz"The China Cats aren’t a cover band," says Nicholas Meriwether, archivist of the Grateful Dead collection at UC Santa Cruz. "They approach the Dead’s work with the same kind of reverence and sophistication that the Dead themselves showed in their own forays into American roots music. “When you listen to the Cats," Meriweather adds, "old favorites take on new lives, revealing facets that will delight and amaze even jaded listeners. These guys aren’t copycats — their sets demonstrate how the Dead’s music now is a part of the great American songbook, alongside the giants who first inspired the Dead."Artist sights and sounds: www.thechinacats.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/thechinacatsAmazing poster by Lisa Sofranko! 🎨🖌️#newyearseve #newyear #santacruz #party #concert #nye #nye2025 #mountainmusicproductions #events #2026 #dance...
