Video Premiere: Tom Hamilton’s American Babies “Mississippi Halfstep” (Grateful Dead Cover)

November 14, 2016


Tom Hamilton’s American Babies will present their fourth and final Masquerade Ball at Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA on November 18 as the band honors the music of the Grateful Dead with a very special guest. Friday night’s show will come as the first of two nights at the venue, with the two-set finale on Saturday featuring special guests Dave Schools and Holly Bowling joining the group throughout. 

Today, we’re excited to premiere a sneak peek into the Grateful Dead set as the Babies offer up their take on “Mississippi Halfstep.” For the Masquerade Ball of Light & Dark, the band is also requesting attendees dress in black and white and wear masquerade masks of their choosing. The band members will also be putting on their musical masquerades for this performance as they play the music of the Grateful Dead.
