GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The good vibes are back! The Grateful Gainesville Spring Boogie returns to Heartwood Soundstage on Saturday, April 26, celebrating four years of peace, love, and unforgettable jams. This all-ages, family-friendly celebration brings together a genre-blending lineup inspired by the music and spirit of the Grateful Dead — from foot-stomping bluegrass to far-out psychedelic rock.

This year’s lineup is stacked with local legends and regional standouts:

The Grass Is Dead – Two epic sets of mind-melting Grateful Dead bluegrass
Mason Via – GRAMMY-nominated Americana/bluegrass powerhouse
Tamayo Trio – A trio version of Tamayo kicks off the day with sweet jams
Headstash – Delivering a set of classic Dead tunes with their signature flair
Uncle Morty’s Rhythm Cream – A funky R&B favorite
Unwound Trio – Keeping the groove alive on the indoor stage between outdoor sets

But the Boogie isn’t just about the music — it’s a full-day celebration of community and creativity. Expect a vibrant spread of local and regional vendors, including delicious food trucks, artisan goods, vintage clothing, handmade jewelry, and more. Whether you’re a Deadhead or just looking for a great way to spend a Saturday, you’ll find something to smile about.

So grab your friends, bring the family, lace up your dancing shoes, and get ready to twirl under the spring sky. This is not the one to miss.
