Hyryder

Hyryder 

Hyryder is the Midwest’s preeminent Grateful Dead Tribute Band.  The band formed in Indianapolis, Indiana in the summer of 2008, and was born out of an intense love and appreciation for the music of the Grateful Dead and a desire to help carry on this rich musical tradition. 

The band consists of Charlie Morgan (lead guitar and vocals), Nick Neureiter (drums and vocals), Eric Thompson (rhythm guitar and vocals), Blair Ping (bass and vocals) and Kirby Hammel (keyboards vocals).

Hyryder strives to create an authentic Grateful Dead experience, paying close attention to detail.  While paying tribute to the original compositions of every era, Hyryder crafts their own authentic and unique take on the music, with special focus on extended improvisational jamming.  The band prides itself on its ever changing progressive jams and set lists that are unique to each particular show.  Appearing often at the beloved venue The Mousetrap, in Indianapolis,  Hyryder performs across the Midwest and beyond including multiple night runs giving fans an intimately different experience each time they take the stage.   Most recently, the band has earned a spot at the 2023 Skull & Roses Festival in Ventura, California taking place April 20th-22nd.
