Mark your calendars for December 23 on CBS!
The 2024 Kennedy Center Honors selections have arrived, and the Grateful Dead lead this year’s cohort of artists selected for lifetimes of achievement and commitment to their craft. Enduring bandmates Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart and Bobby Weir number among four other institutions from the worlds of music and film to be awarded for artistic excellence in the ceremony, which will be held at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center on December 8, just as the band prepares to celebrate its 60th anniversary.
“From our earliest days in San Francisco and as far as our tours have taken us, it has been and still is an incredible ride,” reflected Hart, Weir, Kreutzmann and Lesh in a statement on the Dead’s selection. “We’ve had the opportunity to play with many talented musicians, interact with many gifted people—and to be part of something much larger than ourselves. Our music has always been about exploration and breaking through or finding our way around barriers, not just musically but also in bringing people together. The energy, the love, the connection and sharing—once again, that’s what it’s all about. As we enter our 60th year of the Grateful Dead’s journey in 2025, we’re beyond grateful for this recognition and for the journey we are on together. This honor reminds us of all those moments and the people who helped us along the way.”
