Bearly Dead Hits The Road With Harvest The Wind Tour & Run For The Roses Tour

Boston-based Grateful Dead tribute band Bearly Dead will tour coast-to-coast this fall and winter on back-to-back tours. The quintet is spending the fall on their Harvest The Wind Tour and will continue on the road this winter on their Run For The Roses Tour.

Bearly Dead, who recently welcomed keyboardist Kris Yunker into the band, just held a sold-out hometown concert at the Sinclair. Along with Yunker, the lineup includes drummer Tyler Brooks, bassist Owen Finley, vocalist Michael Butler and guitarist Nick Swift.

The Harvest The Wind Tour began in their home state of Massachusetts with a recent appearance at the Wormtown Music Festival in Greenfield and continues on to Yarmouth on September 21. Bearly Dead then plays in New York City on September 24.

October sees Bearly Dead performing in Brattleboro (Vermont) on the 4th and Wilkes-Barre (Pennsylvania) on the 5th. They’ll then hit Arundel (Maine) on October 10, Providence on October 11, and Hartford on October 12.

The tour continues with a western swing, starting in Denver on October 17, followed by Salt Lake City on October 18 and Reno on October 19t. California dates include Mill Valley on October 22, Santa Cruz on October 23 and Redding on October 24. The band then heads to Bend (Oregon) on October 25 and Seattle on October 27.

“We always love hitting the road, but there’s something special about playing this music out west where it all started,” Swift said. “When you get to play this many shows in a row, you lock in together on another level. I can’t wait to feel that feeling again.”

Bearly Dead wraps up October with shows in Fargo (North Dakota) on October 30 and Minneapolis on Halloween. November kicks off in Davenport (Iowa) on the 1st, followed by Buffalo on the 3rd. The Harvest The Wind Tour concludes with performances in Wilmington (Delaware) on November 8 and Baltimore on November 9.

A special holiday party is planned for December 25 in Maynard (Massachusetts), with the band ringing in the New Year on December 31 in Pawtucket (Rhode Island).
