In addition to the sold out celebration of Jerry’s 75th birthday at Red Rocks, The Jerry Garcia Family will present five additional concert events in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Nashville, Brooklyn and Burlington continuing the celebration of Jerry’s life and enduring legacy. The newly added celebrations are anchored by the 15th annual Jerry Day in at the Jerry Garcia Amphitheatre in San Francisco’s McLaren Park on August 6th featuring Melvin Seals and the JGB, Stu Allen and Mars Hotel, and Midnight North. Jerry Day is a free to attend, however donations are gladly accepted.
In Los Angeles, Aquarium Drunkard and the Jerry Garcia Family will present Grateful Shred and Friends, a collective of Southern California’s premiere session players including members of Circles Around The Sun, The Western Stars, Mapache, & more, on August 1st at the Teragram Ballroom.

Burlington’s celebration will occur at the Higher Ground Ballroom on August 1st and feature an all-star cast of local musicians. The evening’s line-up & program will be announced shortly, but expect an evening centered around the music of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia Band and much more!
A collection of Nashville’s finest musicians will present Ain’t No Place I’d Rather Be on August 2nd at the Basement East in Nashville, TN. The collective will explore the expansive Garcia Songbook with portions of the evening dedicated to Garcia’s many solo projects and work with the Grateful Dead.
