China Dolls- A Very Special Grateful Dead Night for Women's History Month

The China Dolls

This unique special event will feature: Sunshine (Garcia) Becker (Furthur, Melvin Seals & JGBand), Elliot Peck (Midnight North), Matt Hartle (China Cats), Jen Rund (Jenerator) & Anna Elva (Smokedaddies) and more guests TBA!

A long-standing tradition that began in the late 1990s, Ashkenaz’s Grateful Dead Night continues on to ensure that the music never stops in the region where it all began back in 1965! This weekly gathering features live music performed by a revolving cast of the best musicians in the Bay Area, all drawing from the Grateful Dead’s vast catalog (including the “roots” and traditional songs covered by the Dead, in addition to songs performed by the Jerry Garcia Band). Rookies and “regulars” of all ages and abilities come from near and far to enjoy the “rainbow full of sound” and the accompanying community. For a few hours at every Grateful Dead Night you can freely dance your worries away, sit back and watch life’s parade, meet a new friend, or just close your eyes and “let the music play the band” (as it invariably does!).

Whether you are discovering Ashkenaz or the Grateful Dead or just the idea of dancing to live music for the first time in a public setting, the important thing to remember is that it’s never too late to get on the bus! We hope to see you there!
