Half Dead was founded in the summer of 2024 by Ryan McIntyre on guitars and vocals, Chad McDaniel on drums, Michael McGuirk on bass and vocals, Elliot Morgan on keyboards and vocals, and Jiffer Harriman on guitars and vocals. Ryan, Chad, and Elliot played together in a previous band for nearly a decade, while Chad, Michael, and Jiffer have played together in multiple bands over the years, including LMCC. Half Dead plays a collection of tunes that share a common thread of great songwriting and an underlying jammy vibe. Deadheads' ears will perk up frequently to old favorites, and the groovy selection of tunes will leave listeners feeling grateful indeed!
