In nearly every major city in America, as well as countless smaller towns and rural communities, Dead cover bands regularly celebrate the music of that storied band.

On this day, October 18th, 1926, the cosmos gifted us Chuck Berry—a luminary whose music became the heartbeat of generations.

Chuck Berry was not merely a musician; he was a storyteller, a visionary who strummed the strings of our collective consciousness with his electric guitar.
