Join us for a very special evening which will include a few surprises to commemorate three decades of making music!
Wolf Jett: Cosmic Mountain Music
Back by popular demand! Wolf Jett returns to Jerry Bash in 2024, bringing their eclectic blend of folk, blues and Americana that they describe as “cosmic mountain music.” Get ready for it — Wolf Jett will make you dance, sing and possibly even hooOoooowl!
Caltucky: Remembering Old & in the Way and Garcia/Grisman
In 1973 Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Vassar Clemmons and John Kahn formed the short-lived but hugely influential bluegrass band Old & in the Way. The relationship spawned an album that has continued to be a bluegrass favorite through every decade with songs like “Midnight Moonlight,” “Pig in a Pen” and “Wild Horses.” It remained the best selling bluegrass album of all time until it was finally dethroned by Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
Kelly Fleming, Kellie Garmire & Friends: The Roots of the Grateful Dead
