Our Days Between celebration isn’t about Jerry Garcia’s birthday – though we do love celebrating birthdays! Instead, we’ve put together a 9-day tribute to his entire life. It starts on his birthday and ends on the anniversary of his death, covering alllllll the days in between. Thus, “Days Between.” Also, it’s a Grateful Dead song. Of course it is.
Performing to critical acclaim for nearly 30 years and over 3300 shows, Dark Star Orchestra continues the Grateful Dead live concert experience. The seven-piece band performs shows based on actual Grateful Dead set lists from their 30 years of touring, or creates unique sets from the Dead’s extensive catalog. This approach allows fans both young and old to share in the experience while offering a continually evolving artistic outlet within this musical canon.
Dark Star Orchestra offers much more than just the sound of the Grateful Dead—they truly encapsulate the energy and experience. It’s about that sense of familiarity and contagious energy that creates the complete concert experience fans expect.
