Shakedown Saturday with Mystic Dead

Please note: the first Sunday in April is Easter, so the April edition of Shakedown Sunday will be on Saturday, April 4th from 8-11pm. Regular Sunday events will resume in May.

Mystic Dead is a premier Grateful Dead tribute band based out of Mystic, Connecticut, dedicated to capturing the spirit, improvisation, and musical depth of the legendary group. They deliver a deeply jam-forward live experience rooted in rock, Americana, and psychedelia, built around extended improvisation, dynamic grooves, and fearless musical exploration. Each performance stretches beyond the setlist, with songs evolving in real time as the band locks into the room and follows the energy of the crowd. Tight rhythms, swirling guitar lines, and patient builds give way to moments that feel spontaneous, communal, and completely unrepeatable.

Catch Mystic Dead live at The Social on the first Sunday of every month for an ongoing residency — a can’t-miss gathering for jam fans, music lovers, and anyone who believes the best shows are the ones where anything can happen.
