Dead Rider live in Omaha

Experience Dead Rider live on August 28th

Dead Rider is scheduled to perform at The Sydney in Omaha, Nebraska on August 28, 2026. Dead Rider’s music blends elements of American primitive guitar, folk, and experimental rock, often characterized by Jackalope’s (the project’s core musician, Adam Michael Robinson) distinctive fingerpicking style and lyrical themes exploring isolation, mythology, and the American landscape. Their sound frequently incorporates open tunings and a raw, lo-fi aesthetic.

The Sydney is a performance venue located in the Benson neighborhood of Omaha. Originally established as a church in the late 19th century – specifically, the First Swedish Lutheran Church completed in 1893 – the building underwent conversion into an intimate music space in 2017. It quickly became known for its unique acoustics and focus on showcasing independent and alternative artists across various genres including indie rock, experimental music, and folk. The venue maintains much of its original architectural character with stained glass windows and a generally minimalist aesthetic. Its capacity is approximately 200-250 people making it a popular spot for more intimate performances.
