An Acoustic Concert of Song and Story

A FRIEND OF MINE:
A Celebration of the Life and Music of Jerry Garcia: Written, Told and Performed by Dan Weintraub

A FRIEND OF MINE is an evening of songs and stories about the life of Jerry Garcia. Sixty-plus years after the band first plugged in, the Grateful Dead's music, and Jerry's legacy, keep growing into new generations of fans. Deadheads young and old are hungry for a deeper connection to the songs and the people behind them. A FRIEND OF MINE gives them that: an intimate and moving acoustic concert with commentary performed by Dan Weintraub.

TELLING THE STORY THROUGH MUSIC AND WORD

Dan has spent 45 years living inside the music of the Grateful Dead. He's a nationally recognized touring guitarist and singer who performs both as a solo artist (http://gratefuldan.net) (http://danweintraubacoustic.com) and as half of the Dead-inspired interpretive duo Dead Men Strumming (http://deadmenstrumming.net). What makes this show possible is the rest of his story. Dan taught high school history and English for 35 years, which made him a storyteller with a gift for bringing the past to life.
