Tennessee x Grateful Dead Circle Bears Tee

Officially licensed by University of Tennessee and Grateful Dead - available exclusively through Class Trip.

Though the Grateful Dead never performed at the University of Tennessee, their shows in Nashville and Memphis, particularly the memorable 1972 performance at Vanderbilt University, deeply resonated with local audiences. Jerry's commitment to bluegrass and Southern musical traditions significantly influenced the Dead’s sound, particularly their blend of country rock and psychedelic improvisation. This fusion made the band a natural fit for Tennessee’s rich musical heritage, where bluegrass, country, and folk were deeply embedded in the local culture. Volunteer fans, drawn to nearby Nashville for the Dead’s shows, embraced this blend of styles, contributing to the formation of a Deadhead community up on Rocky Top.

Meet your new favorite tee. Soft, lightweight, and with just the right amount of stretch, this unisex staple is as comfy as it gets. Whether you’re tailgating, at the show, or or just kicking back after a long, strange trip. A true crowd favorite, it’ll be the MVP of your wardrobe.
