Tucked away in the foothills of California, a band of renegade women honor the music of the Grateful Dead. Las Niñas Muertas, a five piece, mostly acoustic band plays your favorite Dead tunes. Embued with the spirit of love for the music Las Niñas Muertas sing in four part harmony, with searing harmonica and electric guitar riffs, the twang of banjo and the twinkle of mandolin all sitting on the foundation of upright bass. Las Niñas Muertas invite you to dance, sing along, and come together over a shared appreciation for one of the most iconic bands of our time.
