The music of the Grateful Dead has resonated with fans for generations. In the spirit of the Dead, Eichard’s Pub will host a special acoustic performance by Spokane is Dead, the Inland Northwest’s premier (and most dedicated) tribute band to the music of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead.

The six-piece band will play at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, with doors opening at 7 p.m. (Eichardt’s will close from 6-7 p.m. to allow the band time to load in and sound check).

This will be Spokane is Dead’s very first acoustic show, and they are slated to bring special guests which are being kept secret in a heavily guarded location.

The pub got a permit for the alley to put tables and chairs outside, emptying out the inside for standing room only. This will be a dancing show, obviously.

There will also be grab-and-go burritos not from the regular menu available to purchase.

Tickets for this special show are expected to go fast, with only a limited number available. To inquire about purchasing one of the $20 tickets, stop by Eichardt’s at 212 Cedar St., in downtown Sandpoint, or visit eichardtspub.com.

Meanwhile, long live the Dead.
