About DeadSpread
A music app for jam band fans, available across several platforms.
DeadSpread is a music app I built for fans of jam bands. It puts groups like the Grateful Dead and Widespread Panic front and center, along with others in that world. You can use it on iOS, Android, Amazon FireOS, and as a web version. This page walks through what it is and the kind of music it's built around. Links to download or open DeadSpread live in the site navigation and on the home page.
What jam bands are
Jam bands are groups known for stretching out and improvising live. Instead of playing a song the same way every night, they tend to reshape it from show to show — the length and structure can shift each time. That's a big part of why live recordings matter so much in this scene. Fans follow shows closely and love comparing one performance against another.
Groups it highlights
DeadSpread leans especially toward the Grateful Dead and Widespread Panic, two names closely tied to the jam band tradition. The Grateful Dead is among the best known of them all, with a long performance history and a deep catalog of live recordings. Widespread Panic is another group known for steady touring and plenty of live improvisation. The app also makes room for other groups in the same tradition.
Availability across platforms
DeadSpread runs on several platforms so it works on whatever you've got. The iOS version comes from the Apple App Store, the Android version from the Google Play Store, and there's a version in the Amazon Appstore for compatible Fire devices. If you'd rather not install anything, the web version opens right in a browser.
