SUMMARY:Shakedown Sunday with Mystic Dead
DESCRIPTION:Shakedown Sunday with Mystic Dead returns to The Social Bar + Kitchen on Sunday\, August 2\, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.\, continuing the band’s monthly residency that has become a favorite gathering for Deadheads and live music fans throughout southeastern Connecticut. Held on the first Sunday of every month\, the series celebrates the enduring music of the Grateful Dead with an afternoon of improvisation\, community\, and unforgettable jams. \nBased in Mystic\, Connecticut\, Mystic Dead has earned a reputation as one of the region’s premier Grateful Dead tribute bands by faithfully embracing the adventurous spirit that made the original group legendary. Rather than simply recreating studio recordings\, the band builds each performance around extended improvisation\, evolving grooves\, and spontaneous musical exploration. Every show takes on its own personality as songs stretch\, shift\, and develop in response to the energy of the audience\, creating the kind of one-of-a-kind experience that has defined Grateful Dead concerts for generations. \nThe Social Bar + Kitchen provides the perfect backdrop for the band’s monthly residency. Since opening in 2016\, the downtown New London venue has become one of the city’s most popular destinations for live music\, featuring one of southeastern Connecticut’s largest craft beer selections with 50 beers on draft alongside handcrafted cocktails and a modern American menu with options for meat lovers\, vegetarians\, and vegans alike. Its welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal place to spend a summer Sunday enjoying great food\, drinks\, and live music. \nWhether you’re a lifelong Deadhead chasing the next great jam or simply curious about one of rock’s most influential musical legacies\, Shakedown Sunday offers an afternoon where every performance is different and every song has the potential to go somewhere unexpected. \nEvent Details\nEvent: Shakedown Sunday with Mystic Dead \nDate: Sunday\, August 2\, 2026 \nTime: 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. \nLocation: The Social Bar + Kitchen\n208 Bank Street\nNew London\, CT 06320 \n  \n
