Dead Set Florida @ Big Top Live, Cattlemen Rd, Sarasota

This event is at the Big Top Live location on Cattlemen Rd, not the Big Top Brewery on Fruitville Rd! This location is also known as the Cock and Bull.

About the Band:
Dead Set Florida formed in 2017 when bassist and lead vocalist Christian Walker, born and raised in Upstate New York, and newly transplanted to Tampa Bay, decided to continue performing Grateful Dead music live in Tampa Bay. After serving for the better part of a decade in Syracuse’s finest Grateful Dead Tribute, Dark Hollow, and after moving closer to family that transplanted to Florida 20 years prior, he followed his heart and searched for like minded individuals to share the passion of performing regularly throughout the Tampa Bay Area.
​
Paul Wolff (Apollo Beach, FL) answered the call immediately and has been the band’s lead guitarist since Day 1. Paul channels Jerry Garcia through his leads and technique, continuously leaving fans in awe. Tucker Waud (St. Petersburg, FL) began with the band on Day 1 as well, and is a true champion on keyboards, continuously pushing the band to its limits. Currently, the band is blessed to perform with several of Florida's top drummers, including Mike Garrie and Scott Costa both extremely talented and versatile musicians performing some of the very best Grateful Dead drums you'll hear around.
Most recently, the band acquired 17-year-old Steven Cortie, who, despite his young age, has the passion, feel, and skill of a long-time, true Dead guitarist.

No cover charge for this show!! No reserved seating. All seating is first come, first serve. I will try to be there early to find a table for us. I also recommend bringing a lawn chair for guaranteed seating. But this is definitely an on-your-feet dance concert!!
