The DeadHeads - MA

The DeadHeads MA channel the energetic creativity of The Grateful Dead's earliest performances, while maintaining the bluegrass rock, folk style of their songs. All band members bring their characteristic playing styles and unique personas to the band’s sound, and are notorious for playing 3 hour sets with no breaks in between, passing solos around the room over a tightly-knit rhythm section, and frequenting guest musicians--The Deadheads are a must-see-it-to-believe-it Grateful Dead experience.

Marc Bode (Lead Vocals & Guitar) Lead singer, guitarist, and mastermind of song segues, Marc Bode guides the band's performances through guitar riffs, subtle gestures, and pure musical genius. With over 20 years of experience as a professional musician, inspired by musicians Randy Rhoads and Jerry Garcia, Marc Bode's guitar solos are not just sounds from an amplifier, but a unique, exciting experience altogether.

Noelle Pinsonnault (Bass & Vocals) Noted as "The enchanting, six-string slinger" co-leads the band and rhythm section with powerful, funk-folk bass lines. Frequently compared to Jeff Beck's bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, influenced by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones and "Flea" from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Noelle Pinsonnault's bass lines & musical competence keeps the crowd dancing, and turn heads at every show.

Larry Dulong (Piano & Vocals) Local native of Granby, Massachusetts, noted as the "Venerable Valley Ivory Man," Larry Dulong intensifies the band's sound with his multi-instrumental talents and powerful vocal harmonies. As a songwriter, entrepreneur, and professional musician with decades of experience, Larry Dulong's soulful melodies on any instrument are original, polished, and inspire the band through lengthy improvisational jams.

Kade Parkin (Drums) Critically acclaimed drummer from the city of Northampton, Massachusetts, drives the rhythm section of The DeadHeads with more than just a backbeat. Kade Parkin's dynamic leadership during improvised musical interludes, and his energetic stage presence creates exciting rhythmic diversity in every song the band plays.

George Plouffe (Organ) & Dean Matthews (Drums) George Plouffe of Orange, Massachusetts, and Dean Matthews of Agawam, are the newest additions to The DeadHeads lineup. George's enticing, jazz-influenced organ solos add a bold color to the musical canvas, captivating audience members and musicians alike. Dean's funky, Phish-inspired drumming adds consistency and diversity to the rhythm section, which spreads an infectious groove through the audience like wildfire. When all six members join together for a show, the resulting performance is powerful, intrepid, and simply unforgettable.

"...Honoring the spirits of the originals in all their frolicking free-flow, but free of constraints like direct imitation.. The songs are springboards for the artists while managing to be both familiar and fresh for their audience"
