Shakedown Strings, the Kansas City acoustic trio, is bringing the boisterous music of The Grateful Dead to Alaska for a five-show tour this month.

Rob Shatzer, the band’s sponsor and Alaskan promoter, is returning to Alaska for the first time in 16 years, where he published a monthly entertainment guide called AK This Month and sponsored his friends’ bands. Now, he’s bringing Shakedown Strings for a tour under his new project called Shakedown Vegas Presents, marking their first out-of-Vegas production.

Shakedown Strings is thrilled to announce its upcoming performances at "Shakedown Vegas," a free event taking place each day before the Dead & Company concerts at The Sphere in Las Vegas. The band is excited to showcase its talents and connect with Deadheads from all over the United States and the world.
