About the band
Joe Russo's Almost Dead
Brooklyn, NY · since 2013
JRAD treats the catalog as raw material. Drummer Joe Russo leads Tom Hamilton, Scott Metzger, Marco Benevento, and Dave Dreiwitz, all drawn from Brooklyn's improvised-rock scene, and the arrangements deliberately depart from the originals: tempos shift, songs collide, a familiar tune arrives from an unrecognizable direction. The band is explicit that it is not a tribute act in the recreation sense. They return to the Rooftop at Pier 17 for two nights in September for the fourth year running, after opening the fall at MGM Music Hall at Fenway.
The venue
The Rooftop at Pier 17
89 South St · New York, NY
Open-air rooftop stage on top of Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan, with the Brooklyn Bridge and East River behind the band. Roughly 3,400-3,500 standing; the summer concert series runs about May through October, and a glass-enclosed structure added for winter 2025-26 allows indoor shows for about 3,000.
