Dead Bowl: Stella Blue's Band - Celebrating Jerry Garcia
About This Event
Dead Bowl: Stella Blue's Band — Celebrating Jerry Garcia is a Grateful Dead tribute at Brooklyn Bowl featuring Stella Blue’s Band. The country-leaning group works from the Dead’s songbook with roots instrumentation and plainspoken storytelling, favoring groove-based arrangements and ensemble interplay rather than solo display. The program treats Garcia’s folk, country and bluegrass vocabulary and his long-form improvisational approach as living material rather than fixed repertory.
