Jawn Of The Dead & The Reality Check Experiment

Jawn Of The Dead (JOTD) is a Philadelphia based, energetic tribute to the songwriting, style and musical tradition pioneered by the Grateful Dead, the godfathers of the jam band world. JOTD’s mission is to continue this tradition of fusing eclectic elements rock, blues, jazz, folk, country, bluegrass, rock and roll, gospel, reggae, world music and psychedelia with improvisation so that the music can be anything at any time, anywhere, like a “jawn” (a Philly colloquialism) which can be any noun that you need it to be at any given time.

The Reality Check Experiment is a four-piece jam band dedicated to pushing the boundaries of sound and improvisation. Joshua Victor (guitar), Martin Blazik (drums), Quinn Shamberger (keys) and Matt Pantos (bass) fuse their talents and imaginations to create one seamless, immersive experience—for themselves and their fans alike. Renowned for their extended exploratory jams, they dive headfirst into the unknown, letting each performance unfold organically and taking both band and audience on a thrilling one-of-a-kind journey.
