Celebrating Our 9th Year!
Friends and fans come from across the country to dance and enjoy some of the best jambands in the Midwest, honoring and paying tribute to Jerry Garcia.
This year's festival also marks Jerry Garcia's 70th Birthday and the 17th Anniversary of his untimely passing. We also honor all Grateful Dead members like Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Keith Godchaux, Brent Mydland, and Vince Welnick. The Grateful Garcia Gathering has always been a special celebration of their beautiful music.
Robin Sylvester Needs Our Help Now
We're happy to announce that we will be donating a percentage of each Grateful Garcia Gathering ticket sold this summer to our friend Robin Sylvester, who needs our help now. We will also have a Donation Jug at the gate for you folks to pitch in some coin!
In 2003 Robin Sylvester joined "Bob Weir & RatDog", and also plays occasionally with jambands Ghosts of Electricity, Melvin Seals & JGB, David Nelson & Friends, Jemimah Puddleduck and The Rubber Soldiers.
Robin has been hospitalized for several months, and is now awaiting a kidney transplant. Funds will be used to offset his medical bills, cost of a transplant and vital living expenses.
If you reading this, and you are thinking that maybe you have $10 or $15 to spare (any amount would be gratefully accepted), below is the offical link for you to donate to Robin directly. You will feel much better within yourself that you've helped Robin, who has given so much music, joy, energy, and magic from "Bob Weir & RatDog" over the years!
Thank you in advance from The Grateful Garcia Gathering Family, Robin Sylvester, his Family, Friends, and Sweet Relief...
