Every long, strange trip begins somewhere. This one begins at Terrapin Station. Based in Ithaca, NY, and featuring members of the former Lost Sailors, "Terrapin Station" is dedicated to carrying on the music and spirit of The Grateful Dead experience. Terrapin Station was formed in 2014 and is widely considered to be the premier interpretive Grateful Dead tribute band in the Central NY and Finger Lakes region. We've built a solid reputation for high-energy, carefully-crafted, and unpredictable performances, presented with the most consistently enjoyable sound production around. We are dedicated to recreating an authentic Grateful Dead experience, both sonically and emotionally. Our shows follow the Grateful Dead's traditional two-long-sets format, with a wide-ranging mix of rock, folk, blues, and country, mainly electric with some acoustic treatments. Improvisational jams are punctuated by sweet ballads and classic Grateful Dead show stoppers.
