Stu Allen & Reflections - Jerry Garcia's Birthday

Stu Allen & Reflections: featuring Cheryl Rucker, Shirley Starks, Danny Eisenberg, Steve Adams & Ezra Lipp

Celebrating Jerry Garcia’s 76th Birthday with an evening of Jerry Garcia Band Music!

When it became apparent that Jerry Garcia had played his final show in 1995, Stu Allen began working to keep Garcia’s music, sound, and spirit alive in the concert setting. Today, he is one of the leading figures in the jam band and Grateful-Dead-inspired community.

Allen’s captivating soulful delivery (both vocally and instrumentally), freakish improvisational ability, and exceptional guitar tone have gotten the attention of some of the preeminent figures in the genre. He regularly works with Phil Lesh, and has also done sets with Bob Weir, and Bill Kreutzmann. Allen is perhaps most known for fronting Melvin Seals’ tribute to the Jerry Garcia Band from 2004 to 2011. In 2010, he received more national acclaim when he toured with Dark Star Orchestra.
