Tickets for the event will range between $55-$65 and go on sale June 16 at 10 a.m. MT via axs.com. Weir will front a stocked all-star band that will include keyboardist Melvin Seals and vocalists Jackie LaBranch and Gloria Jones of the Jerry Garcia Band as well as bassist Oteil Burbridge, saxophonist Kamasi Washington, guitarist Tom Hamilton and drummer Duane Trucks. The show will, of course, pay tribute to the music of the former Dead fronter, who was born on August 1, 1942 and died on August 9, 1995. Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
