ABOUT THE BAND

Mars Hotel, just like the Grateful Dead, delivers on the promise that community, meaningful songs and amazing musicianship can create lasting, memorable moments.
Each member of Mars Hotel is a lifelong fan of the Grateful Dead and has a personal connection to the band’s music. For some, the Dead’s music was passed down from an older sibling. Others can tell stories of seeing the band live and following them on the road. The members of Mars Hotel love the Grateful Dead’s story, the personalities behind the music and, of course, the incredible musicianship. That’s probably why audience members so often tell us that Mars Hotel brings back such fond memories of the Grateful Dead.
Since 2012, Mars Hotel fans have embraced the band’s unique approach to each performance. Like the Dead, no two shows are exactly the same, with different songs and setlists every night.
Mostly, though, fans respond to the commitment the band brings to interpreting the music of their heroes. You can hear it in a group of great friends who have been playing together and apart, in one form or another, for more than 35 years.
