Wolfman Jack w/ Jair-Rohm Parker Wells & Dei Xhrist at Nova Arts Block/Brewbakers Cafe – Keene, NH

Wolfman Jack is a live music project of musicians from the New England area performing the psychedelic and electrifying Live Dead to Europe 72′ era of The Grateful Dead. A true dance band in the style of such legendary venues as The Fillmores’, Carousel Ballroom, Avalon Ballroom, Winterland Arena and the Strand Lyceum. They recreate those vintage sets from when the Grateful Dead were first cutting their teeth as a live music act. Don’t miss it!

The show is all ages and seating will be limited to ensure plenty of room for dancing!

Thanks to support from Savings Bank of Walpole, this show has an Access For All option which lets you name your price (you can’t buy multiples of this option at the same time, so to buy more than one ticket, it is necessary to do each additional ticket in a different transaction).
