This is Shakedown Citi. Full-time professional musicians from NYC with a deep love and passion for the Dead and affiliated catalogues, creating dream set lists, high-energy vibes, amazing jams and stellar vocals while channeling the spirit and energy of the Dead without trying to copy them.
SHAKEDOWN CITI is at the very very top of Grateful Dead tribute bands I have ever seen. The band combines the highest levels of seasoned musicianship, sublime vocals and outstanding jams. Their playing reminds me of the peak years of Grateful Dead. It's that good!!!

You all opened up many eyes to what dead tributes can be… the energy and music was next level. Just as I was blown away when I first saw JRAD - I had some gut reaction seeing Shakedown Citi for the first time...
