Event Details

In this dim December hush—on the eve of December 30th, 2024—when the moon’s gaze drifts across our fretboards and the shadows dance in percussive rhythms upon the stage of our memories, we summon the immortal specter of Bo Diddley. A conjurer of that primal, syncopated heart-thump, he fashioned a new kind of rock ’n’ roll heartbeat with the cunning of a raven poet and the wandering soul of a road-bound troubadour.

The Grateful Web is thrilled to bring you a live-streamed performance of the Garcia Birthday Band (GBB), straight from McMenamin's Mission Theater & Pub in Portland, Oregon. GBB isn’t just a Grateful Dead cover band – they’re a living, breathing celebration of the Grateful Dead’s musical legacy and a vital heartbeat of the Pacific Northwest's Deadhead community.
