And what a time it was…the Dead were at the height of both their songwriting and improvisational prowess! Featuring an extended Pig Pen presence, one very swingin’ drummer, and the most coherent and visceral space / improvisations, the typical 5-6 hour GD performances were legendary and a trip for sure. BOX OF RAIN is a true labor of love with Bob Stirner (Living Earth / Boris Garcia) on lead guitar, Craig Privett (Half Step, Jam Stampede) on bass, Mike Kennedy (Living Earth) on guitar, Bud Burroughs (Boris Garcia) on keys, Jon Bernstein (Bears Choice) on harp and Tim Kelley (Boris Garcia) on drums. BOX OF RAIN plays GOOD OL’ GRATEFUL DEAD!! ! About Boris Garcia Website | Facebook | Instagram | X (Twitter) | YouTube | Spotify Boris Garcia isn’t a person but a band, an ensemble that starts with what is called jamgrass (“We’re all folkies at heart,” remarked one band member) but also fuses a dozen strands of American music into a rich, ever-evolving whole. Rock, Folk, Celtic, Soul, Psychedelic/Bluegrass – you can hear them all. They masterfully blend acoustic and electric instrumentation, with Americana roots sensibility. Boris Garcia has seen significant commercial airplay charting AAA and Americana pacing them “outside” most of the Jamband crowd,” real song’s that resonate” despite any monikers or genre classification. About Wood Flower Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Wood Flower originally formed in the summer of 2022 between former guitar student (Wes Johnson) and his teacher from nearly a decade before (Josh Sceurman). They later invited Reading PA native, and long time friend of Josh's, Michael Beaky to pick the five string. Wes's high school buddy Gabe Delp joined the outfit on the guitar as well. Wood Flower set out to strongly honor traditional bluegrass music while incorporating both original compositions and modern elements into their own unique sound. About The Outcrops Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify The Outcrops play music with heart. They have dug their roots into rock'n'roll, blues, funk, R&B, old country and jazz. Their original music stems from the same soulful soil. Cassidy Rain (vocals/guitar) and Bryan Schroeder (lead guitar) started the band in 2016 with a passion for rock’n’roll and blues music from their love of bands such as the Allman Brothers, the Grateful Dead, and blues artists such as B.B King and Buddy Guy. They hope to enliven every audience and shed a little sunlight on such timeless music. Join Ardmore Music Club | Private Events | AMH Merch
