Live music is more fun with friends. Two nights of JoJo Hermann, Sam Holt, Eric Martinez & Friends was one helluva way to send off summer. Southern soul, Panic jams, and plenty of good friends on the Garcia’s stage.

Blues For Allah, the eighth studio album from the Grateful Dead, turns 51 years old today! We can't help but be reminded of when Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble joined us back in January to celebrate the transcendent release, and performed an unforgettable reimagining of the record in its entirety. Drop a needle on it today, and remember— the music never stops. 🌹
