    Terrapin Flyer; Chicago's liaison to the spirit of the GD, will be performing two special shows on the day of birth and the day of passing of Jerry Garcia at the Kinetic Playground. The August 1st show will feature members of Chicago's premiere contemporary bluegrass band Cornmeal and the August 9th show will feature former Dark Star Orchestra bassist Micheal Hazdra. Hope you can make it and if not help spread the good word. Mahalo.

    Jerry Tribute -- Washington, DC Area
    The IOTA Club at 2832 Wilson Blvd. in Arlington, VA (http://www.iotaclubandcafe.com/) will host a Jerry Garcia tribute concert presented by one of the DC area's finest roots-rock bands, the U-Liners (www.uliners.com). This show has sold out every year, so come early! The U-Liners will open with a sit-down acoustic set drawing on the acoustic music Jerry played -- the bluegrass of Old & In The Way, the folk and jazz he played with David Grisman, and the acoustic rock Jerry played with the Grateful Dead and other bands. Then the U-Liners will return for a 2+ hour show featuring selections from the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band repertoire. This is always a great evening with lots of great music, special guests, and Grateful Spirit!! Joe Uehlein Juehlein@aol.com www.uliners.com Roots-rock Music
