David Grisman to Play Chicago Brunch Concert Before Last Fare Thee Well Show

The David Grisman Sextet will play a brunch concert at the historic Palmer House Hilton Grand Ballroom in Chicago just a few hours before the final Fare Thee Well concert. The event—set for Sunday, July 5—will begin with a brunch buffet, which will be served from noon until 2:30pm. The concert itself will then follow at 3pm.

Grisman’s connection with the Grateful Dead goes back many years, as the mandolinist was a member, along with Jerry Garcia, of the bluegrass supergroup Old and In The Way. Garcia and Grisman also released an album together in 1991.

Tickets for the David Grisman Sextet brunch concert will go on sale at 10am this Saturday, April 4.
