Join Dead Ends Live for their weekend festival on March 17 & 18!

This listing is for the limited access pass, which only allows entry to performances at McDougall United Church, 10086 MacDonald Drive NW

Dead Ends Live has been created by Peter North, the onetime radio producer who hosted the popular program Dead Ends And Detours for 17 years on the CKUA Radio Network. The new live, indoor festival event will be built around the common themes and threads that ran through his radio show. Those common threads are the musical roots and branches of The Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia along with the influences and sounds of The Band and Bob Dylan, as well as mandolinist David Grisman and the inspiring musicians who built the new acoustic music scene.

The weekend of March 17 and 18, 2023, marks the return of Edmonton’s newest music festival Dead Ends Live. Born out of a love for the Grateful Dead songbook and the jam band culture, the inaugural Dead Ends Live thrilled fans of this broad musical canvas last spring! Organizers are thrilled to announce that guitarist and singer John Kadlecik, a prominent and critically acclaimed figure in the Grateful Dead extended family will be headlining the event with both solo and band performances at the Chateau Lacombe Hotel and McDougall Church. The venues conveniently sit next to each other at the top of Bellamy Hill, downtown Edmonton (1 block south of Jasper Avenue and 101 Street).
