The groundbreaking jam band will receive the prestigious music-industry award 60 years after forming in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The statement quoted the Dead’s surviving members as saying that they’re “deeply honored to be recognized as MusiCares Persons of the Year,” which they called “a testament to the legacy of the music, which has always been bigger than us — it’s about the connection between us, the crew, and all those who’ve been on this long strange trip.
