Joe Russo’s Almost Dead is an American live band that reimagines the Grateful Dead catalog with improvisational rock, jam-band energy, and a more aggressive modern edge. Led by drummer Joe Russo, the lineup features veteran players including Marco Benevento, Tom Hamilton, Scott Metzger, and Dave Dreiwitz. The band is a major draw for jam-band audiences and Grateful Dead fans looking for expansive, high-energy reinterpretations rather than a traditional tribute presentation.
