Dave Holodiloff’s Jerry Garcia Bluegrass Birthday Bash NIGHT #1 at Henry Miller Memorial Library – Big Sur, CA
Don’t miss this upcoming event in Big Sur, CA. Happening on Friday, August 1, 2025 at Henry Miller Memorial Library. Doors open at 7:00 PM.
Dave Holodiloff is bringing the band back to Big Sur’s historic Henry Miller Memorial Library for his 16th Annual Jerry Garcia Birthday Bash Tribute Concert.
NOTE: Due to surging demand, we added a SECOND night, August 2; get tickets for that show HERE.
Performances will feature a broad and danceable selection of songs (and some jazzy jams) spanning Jerry Garcia’s career with “The Grateful Dead”, “Old and In The Way”, and more. Get ready to ride that train with “Casey Jones” all the way home!
Driven by Dave’s high-energy mandolin and accompanied by a smoking hot band of virtuosos including Dan Robbins (bass master professor), Elijjah McCullar (fiddle wizard prodigy), and Juneau Rowe (vocals/keyboard phenom magician), + more musical friends TBA, this annual tradition is sure to delight both “dead-icated” fans of Jerry Garcia and lovers of quality musical entertainment.
Don’t miss this once-a-year magical night of festive celebration and tribute to one of the greatest musicians of all time! The band will be rocking so be ready to party.
Tickets $40 in advance; $50 at door.
Dave Holodiloff’s “Grateful Dead Bluegrass Tribute” album will also be available at the show. The CD features inventive arrangements of classic Grateful Dead favorites like “Friend Of The Devil” and “Scarlet Begonias” interspersed with original improvisations and even an acoustic Old-Timey psychedelic space jam on the more obscure “Mountains of the Moon”.
