The Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration, featuring Melvin Seals, Jacklyn LaBranch, Tom Hamilton, Grahame Lesh, John Morgan Kimock and Kanika Moore, will be held at the Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center tonight, Sept. 1.
The Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration returns to celebrate 60 years of the Grateful Dead and the legacy of Garcia, one of the founding members and lead guitarist and vocalist of the group. His death in 1995 spelled the end of the Dead, although several offshoots of the band, which is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, continued to perform for decades.
This celebration will take the CMAC stage tonight, Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 7 p.m.
The concert will feature Garcia's original compositions, as curated by his family,
as well as classic interpretations of timeless standards that were hallmarks of Garcia and the Grateful Dead's storied concerts.
This will be CMAC's 17th show of the summer concert season.
Here is what to know.
