Bob Weir, over his six-decade musical career and as a founding member of The Grateful Dead, shared an immense passion and light with his countless fans through the music he created, and that light will never fade.
In remembrance of his life, this year`s annual Dead of Winter Jam featuring Rev Tor`s Dead Man`s Waltz & Friends on February 7 will celebrate the music and spirit of Bob Weir and The Grateful Dead, so we invite you to join BTG in honoring Bob Weir`s legacy. Additionally, a food drive for a local food pantry in need will take place during the performance, so bring a non-perishable food donation if it is within your means.
