Week Of: July 30 - August 5
Summary: Days Between
Each year between August 1 and August 9, the dates known as “Days Between,” Deadheads around the world celebrate the life of Jerome John Garcia, otherwise known as Jerry Garcia, Captain Trips, or just Jerry. What makes these dates so significant? Jerry was born on August 1, 1942 and passed on August 9, 1995.
There have been twenty-three years of “Days Between” since Garcia’s passing, but with each year the music, message, and legacy of Jerry grows stronger. DC Music Review is excited to support all of the Days Between shows in the DMV this week. You can find those shows in italics below along with my top choices in bold.
