Saturday Morning Tunes Grateful Dead for Kids makes its debut at The Clarice on Saturday Sept. 14.

If you’re a Grateful Dead fan with young kids, you’ve probably wanted to bring them with you to share your love of this incredible band. Now you can—at The Clarice—with Ed Hough’s Dead Collective.

On the morning of Saturday Sept. 14, WTMD & WYPR's Saturday Morning Tunes is partnering with The Clarice to bring our Grateful Dead for Kids show to College Park for the very first time. The show features some incredibly talented musicians from the jam scene, playing all of our favorite Grateful Dead tunes.

Tickets are available now!

Doors open at 9 a.m. and the show starts at 10 a.m. at The Clarice, 8270 Alumni Dr. at the University of Maryland in College Park. Parking is free and plentiful. 

Each show’s lineup is curated by band leader Ed Hough. The band for this show includes:
