Big Foot County at Flounder Brewing Super psyched to have this new Dead Tribute band start-up right in the Barn, the talent of musicians in this line-up is absolutely ridiculous and cannot be missed! Big Foot County is a North Jersey based Grateful Dead tribute band with some of the hottest players from the area’s premier bluegrass and jam bands. Lead by Sheila Shukla of Magnolia Street String Band (Bluegrass), the band brings sweet vocals and harmonies in the bluegrass/country tradition to the astounding guitar instrumentals of Dave Benson of Divided Sky (Phish tribute). Peter Lister (Milkweed) adds  powerful bass lines that blur the lines  between bluegrass and the energy of the Dead. Brandon Revila’s impeccable percussion brings the groove to this musical project.
