Tickets to each show are $7 in advance and $10 at doors.
“We had such a great time with the Winter Solstice, when I saw Bee Thousand’s 25th anniversary was going to be near the Summer Solstice — it just kind of all made sense,” David Obenour, concert promoter, said in a news release. “With the first show in place featuring the amazing Blazing Gentlemen, it was off to the races to set up the next series.”

“Grateful Dead and Jerry projects are always great because live is really how that music was meant to be heard,” Obenour said. “I’m really excited for Thursday night too. I mean, the chance to front The Big Wazu for live band karaoke? Heck yeah!”
