The night kicked off with Creamery Station, a roots jam band from Connecticut, bringing their soulful and bluesy sound to the stage.

Their setlist featured some of their popular tunes like "Railroad Blues," "Don't Do It," and "Story to Tell." The band's energy and musicianship had the crowd swaying and dancing along, setting the tone for an unforgettable night.

You can view a few photos from their set further down in this article.

Next up was Bearly Dead, a Grateful Dead tribute band that has been gaining momentum with their fresh and unique approach to the legendary band's tunes.

They started their set with "Playing in the Band" and continued with a mix of classics like "Touch of Grey" and "Shakedown Street" as well as some lesser-known gems like "Here Comes Sunshine" and "You Never Can Tell."

Creamery Station’s keyboardist, Jon Truelson, joined in for "Not Fade Away," adding an extra layer of sound to the already impressive performance and Bearly Dead closed their set with a high-energy rendition of "Silvio."

The crowd was fully engaged throughout both sets, with fans singing and dancing along to the music. Overall, it was a fantastic night of music, with Creamery Station and Bearly Dead delivering two sets that left the audience wanting more. Photos below.

If you're a fan of jam bands, roots music, or the Grateful Dead, these two bands are definitely worth checking out.
