Presented by Premier Concerts and Manic Presents, BERTHA: Grateful Drag brings a unique twist on Grateful Dead tribute culture to District Music Hall with an all ages show. Launched in Tennessee in 2023 in response to anti-drag legislation, this Nashville-based roots collective is billed as the first and only tribute act to weave drag into the Dead’s legacy. What started as a one-night idea quickly sold out, drew attention from major outlets including Rolling Stone and the San Francisco Chronicle, and evolved into a seasoned touring project. On stage, the band channels the late 70s and early 80s Dead sound and pairs it with commanding female vocals. The performance follows the classic two-set format over about three hours, with a new setlist each time. Each date also highlights local drag or burlesque talent and supports LGBTQ+ organizations, creating a welcoming experience for both longtime Deadheads and newcomers.
