Sunshine Day Dream
Carbondale Deadheads, mark your calendars!
On Saturday, November 21st, Hangar 9 is thrilled to welcome Springfield, IL’s own Sunshine Daydream.
Since 2013, Sunshine Daydream has specialized in performing the music of the Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band in a refreshing, high-energy, up-tempo style. Having mastered hundreds of songs in the Dead's legendary repertoire, they design every single set to satisfy lifelong Deadheads and casual listeners alike.
These songs are performed exactly as they were intended: hard-hitting, always danceable, and full of psychedelic, innovative jams. You can also expect some incredible, select covers from bands like the Allman Brothers, Phish, and Widespread Panic.
