Without a doubt, this is Central Florida's most recognized Grateful Dead tribute act. From two drummers to tie dyed shirts to a replica "Tiger" guitar, these guys absolutely nail the GD ambiance.

Middle Rhythm Session


Inquire About Booking This Artist
Playing roots fusion, Middle Rhythm Session works on a daily basis to create, record, and perform intuitive music, firm in their belief that the transition between practice and performance, learning and playing, repertoire and improvisation, has less to do with repetition as it does with concentration. One of the most remarkable things that sets Middle Rhythm Session apart from other bands in this style is their songwriting as it's rare that you hear a group that doesn't let their instrumental gifts distract them from writing something that you can hum back after one listen.
