Reported by the Press Democrat, The Grateful Dead are set to be the headline show for the Mid Atlantic Ball, one of 10 official inaugural ball.

Hart and the rest of the Grateful dead had come together as a band early last year to offer there suport for the now president elect.

“I’m really looking forward to the trip. And to see my brothers in black ties will be worth it. I’ve never seen us all in black ties,” said Micke Hart who is more often seen in T Shirts then anything else.

Hart’s wife, Caryl, who is also known as a very visable environmental activist herself, and their teen-age daughter will be their as well. Showing just how far The Grateful Dead have come from their early counterculture days in the ’60s, they plan on making the rounds around Washington with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy and Librarian of Congress James Billington.

“We’re all planning on meeting up at different places,” Hart said.
