ACE & Friends is a southern Connecticut band playing music performed by the Grateful Dead.  

"Ace & Friends bring the true Grateful Dead vibe - not just in how they play the songs, but the feeling and the emotion. An Ace & Friends show is both a party and a loving tribute to the Dead!"

David Kaye, Co-Founder and General Manager

Nod Hill Brewery, Ridgefield, CT

 “ACE & Friends provides a great show and a great vibe for our outdoor summer concert series. They are great musicians, playing popular songs and deeper cuts. Their appearances have been our biggest concerts, bringing everyone downtown.”
