The Grateful Nights Band plays the music of the Grateful Dead in unique and creative ways, respecting the experimental and rootsy origins of the greatest American band, while still providing the freedom for each musician to bring their own personality. Each show features a unique setlist, reminiscent of classic Dead shows, but also continues the evolution of the music that even Jerry Garcia himself said no longer belongs to the Dead after it has been played.

The Grateful Nights Band is a musical collective based in Barcelona, founded and led by Aaron Feder, a multi-instrumentalist and producer originally from Chicago, USA who has played with members of Phil and Friends, Peter Rowan (Old and in the Way) and Bob Bralove (The Grateful Dead, Stevie Wonder).

The Grateful Nights Band has been playing a monthly residency at the Black Lab Brewery in Barcelona for over three years, with many special guests from the intimate Grateful Dead family, as well as headlining the XXI edition of the Playing in the Band festival in Plauen, Germany.

The band features an international conglomeration featuring Aaron Feder on vocals, pedal steel and guitar (Afro Dead, Alma Afrobeat Ensemble), with Donna Lee and John Married (from Blueroomess) on vocals and guitar, Barko Waltz on bass, JJ Oliva on keys (Afro Dead, Mami Wata), and renowned Barcelona session drummer Bryan Curtis.
