Sweetwater Music Hall Highlights Dead Family, Bluegrass, Reggae and Summer Roots Shows

Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley has a strong run of summer shows ahead, with plenty for Deadheads, roots music fans, bluegrass pickers, reggae lovers, and Bay Area music regulars. The historic all-ages room, established in 1972, continues to offer an intimate setting for a wide range of live music while operating as a registered 501(c)3 non-profit arts organization.

The Dead-related highlight arrives Thursday, June 25, when MHI & Grateful Guitars present Ten Years After - The Songs Continue, celebrating the songbook of Weir/Wasserman performed on their original instruments with special guests Jackie Greene and Jay Lane. The sold-out show is a fundraiser for Music Heals Int'l and Grateful Guitars.

The lineup also includes recurring Marin Bluegrass Sessions, Sam Bush on July 30, Marlon Asher with Chalice on July 23, Big Brother & The Holding Company on August 1, and a wide mix of Americana, folk, rock, dance nights, tribute shows, and open mics.

Sweetwater Music Hall is located at 19 Corte Madera Avenue, Mill Valley, CA 94941. The venue is all ages and wheelchair accessible. Doors open one hour prior to show time. For more information, visit www.sweetwatermusichall.org.
