Paramount Hudson Valley Theater

Celebrate the enduring spirit of the Grateful Dead with Zach Nugent’s Dead Set – The Grateful Dead Experience, coming to Paramount Hudson Valley on August 8! Just days before the anniversary of Jerry Garcia’s passing and in the heart of a season that forever belongs to his legacy. This powerful timing makes for more than just a concert, it’s a heartfelt tribute to one of music’s most influential figures, honoring both his life and the timeless songs that continue to inspire generations of Deadheads. Dead Set is far more than a tribute band—they are a deeply immersive musical experience. Led by the extraordinary Zach Nugent, whose guitar work channels Garcia’s unmistakable tone and improvisational brilliance, the band captures the magic, freedom, and emotional depth that defined the Grateful Dead. With tight musicianship and intuitive onstage chemistry, Dead Set doesn’t just play the music—they live it, delivering each performance with authenticity and reverence. Prepare for a night of exploration through the Dead’s iconic catalog, from the cosmic jams of “Dark Star” to the joyful energy of “Sugar Magnolia” and beyond. Every show is a unique journey, filled with soaring solos, spontaneous moments, and that unmistakable sense of community that defines the Dead experience. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering the music for the first time, this is your chance to celebrate the spirit of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead in a way that’s as vibrant and alive as ever.
