About Jawn of the Dead
The dedication of the band to both the songs of the Grateful Dead and their spirit of musical exploration sets them apart, as their growing audience are now discovering. In March 2019, Philadelphia area guitarist Rich Hill gathered together a select group of musicians to do a one-off show as a Grateful Dead tribute night at The Fainting Goat in Glenolden, PA. The turn-out, the performances and the synergy were so strong that by the end of the night, they all knew that they had something special and should continue. And thus ”this thing of ours”, this ”jawn of the Dead” as it came to be known, began its strange trip, hopefully a long one, around the Philly region
About Three Fourteen
Three Fourteen is a five-piece high energy rock/reggae/blues/jam band from the Philadelphia area formed in 2014. The band plays original music as well as some of their favorite covers: Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, and many more classics and surprises. Three Fourteen is a group of like minded individuals that have joined together to incorporate their experiences into one mash-up of music. A young four piece band composed of old souls: Andy Hionides (guitar), Joe Acri (bass), Josh Lassoff (drums), Jamie Lundmark (violin), Gerald Smith (guitar). They perform flavorful, protracted sets of blues-influenced rock with strong vocals. Some songs consist of clear-cut melodies with order, while others offer a sense of flexibility with heavy, variable jams. Three Fourteen creates clever setlists that are known to incorporate surprise medleys and teases as the night heats up.

About We Live On: Benefit Concerts for Derek Dorsey
This and other shows billed as "We Live On" will benefit and raise money for Derek Dorsey, our friend, and longtime Philadelphia promoter, and the incredibly challenging fight he faces. Derek has been diagnosed with one of the rarest neurological diseases in the world; during this dark journey, he was misdiagnosed three times and underwent endless testing, only to be in continuous excruciating pain with no identified source. The neurologist explained his condition as "living in constant torture with his central nervous system moving thousands of times faster than normal." Derek is now being treated by a trio of the world’s top neurologists for a rare case of extreme hyperexcitability at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, the Jefferson Neurosciences Center, and John Hopkins Medical Center.
