Stella Blue's Band was founded in 2009 to recreate the experience of being at a Grateful Dead show, playing this music with a deep commitment to authenticity. The band was the first chosen for residency at Garcia's at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY. They have opened for Santana at the Greenwich Town Party, played in the Central Park Bandshell, and shared the Capitol Theatre stage with Melvin Seals and Phil Lesh. The band features dynamic jams with lots of improvisation, playing tunes from all stages of the Grateful Dead's 30-year run.
