Brown Eyed Women, the world’s only all female Grateful Dead tribute ensemble, features musicians from popular bands around the country. They celebrate the music of the Grateful Dead with a unique spin.

Their high-caliber musicianship and shared love of the Dead drew them together. This  band is decidedly different in a field brimming with tribute acts. BEW brings authentic jams and a soulful new approach to the familiar Grateful Dead catalog.

Caroline Killoh (Keys, Vox) is passionate about playing / singing all eras of Grateful Dead and related live jam oriented music. She has shared a stage with Terry Sylvester of the Hollies, and numerous New England rock / jam heavy-hitters, has played in a Beatles tribute, GD night at Fenway Park, her originals project Sonejy, and is currently playing and / or sitting-in on a regular basis with several regional GD & JGB tribute bands including Fennario and Don’t Let Go, when not on tour with Brown Eyed Women.

Denise Parent (Drums, Lead Vox) lives in Woodstock, NY and plays in The Deadbeats in NY’s Hudson Valley and Capital Region. Over the years, Denise has played with Steve Kimock, Vassar Clements, Buddy Cage, Jeff Mattson, Rob Barraco and David Gans, just to name a few. Lately Denise fronts her own band, Rock City Junction, where she sings and plays rhythm guitar and percussion and performs her original songs.

Jill Paone Simmons (Lead Vox) – Jill’s career spans a lifetime of singing different musical genres, from Broadway to the Blues, from folk to funk and everything in between, but Jill found her “home” in the Grateful Dead scene when she joined Pittsburgh jam band, theCAUSE, in 2008. Since then, she’s shared the stage with some icons in the jam band scene including Steve Kimock, Jeff Mattson and Lisa Mackey and Dark Star Orchestra, Stu Allen and Scott Guberman. Jill brings a Blues / folk /jazz dimension to the Grateful Dead song book, paying homage to the original vocals while adding her own style…an ethereal Birdsong, a hot Hard to Handle and soulful Sugaree. With Brown Eyed Women, Jill joins a group of world-class female musicians to showcase her creative and powerful vocal talents to a broad audience of Grateful Dead lovers.

At just 18, Bella Rayne is a self-taught guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter whose sound is quickly turning heads across the country. Born in the mountains of North Carolina and raised along the rugged coast of Mendocino, California, she blends rock and Americana with the improvisational spirit of the jam-band tradition—creating a sound that feels both timeless and strikingly new, bridging generations of listeners. Her journey began during the pandemic, when she pulled an old Stratocaster from her garage, fixed it up, and taught herself to play by ear—unlocking a voice and style entirely her own.

She has since formed Bella Rayne Band, a high-energy, guitar-driven ensemble that has quickly become one of the most talked-about rising acts on the live circuit. Led by a young lineup of seasoned musicians, the band has surged from small rooms to coast-to-coast stages and festival lineups in a remarkably short time, with crowds growing at every stop. Their sets are explosive and ever-evolving—blending soulful Southern rock, modern Americana, and improvisational jam with bold reinterpretations of Grateful Dead classics alongside Bella’s own originals. The result is a sound that feels both timeless and unmistakably new, often described as the next generation of Tedeschi Trucks Band with an alternative edge and a 70s vibe. With demand building nationwide, the band recently completed recording singles for an upcoming EP slated for release in 2026 marking the next step in a trajectory that shows no signs of slowing down.

Despite her young age, Bella has already shared the stage with seasoned artists and respected bands: appearances alongside Allman Betts Family Revival, Melvin Seals & JGB, ALO, Jackie Greene, Oteil Burbridge, and members of Terrapin Family have all added to her early résumé and she was touted as “one to watch” by her idol, Susan Tedeschi in a 2025 Guitar World Magazine interview. In addition, she has been invited to iconic stages nationwide including The Fillmore SF, The Orpheum LA, Sweetwater Music Hall, The Hamilton, and even celebrated her 18th birthday with a set on the Prudential stage at Bottlerock Napa festival. One of the most iconic moments of her rising career: she was entrusted to play the legendary guitar known as “Alligator” — once wielded by Jerry Garcia. That honor, courtesy of Grateful Guitars Foundation, has become a defining chapter in Bella’s journey and Guitar Player magazine recently recognized her as one of the players “keeping the Dead alive” alongside Jeff Mason (Dark Star Orchestra) and Tom Hamilton (JRAD) in an article from May 2025.
