Dead Meat, an electrifying tribute to the Grateful Dead, finished in the top spot of the 2023 installment of Dead Covers Project, an open call for musicians to submit videos covering the iconic band’s extensive catalog.
For the video, Dead Meat let a St. Stephen-into-The Eleven rip in Call Hollow Studio, filmed by Natasha DiMarco and recorded by Ryan Liatsis, who is the also the best guitar player in the band on the keyboards.
The band enjoyed being shared by Grateful Dead to their 700,000 instagram followers and 1.9 million Facebook followers.
This was not the first time Dead Meat has entered a submission for the annual #DeadCoversProject. In 2022, they submitted a China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider; a Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo in 2021, and an Uncle John’s Band in 2020.
