On June 8th and 9th, the Ardmore Music Hall will host a massive two-night fundraiser celebrating the music of the Grateful Dead and its extended family. The event is hosted by Wavy Gravy, the iconic social activist and beloved clown for the Grateful Dead, and will double as the lovable figure’s birthday party. Titled Unlimited Devotion: A Rex Foundation Fundraiser, the two-day extravaganza will see performances by Steve Kimock, Eric Krasno, John Kadlecik, Jeff Austin, Tom Hamilton, Holly Bowling, and many more.

Furthermore, in addition to a stacked musical lineup, the weekend will have a number of non-musical activities celebrating the Dead for attendees to enjoy, including art exhibits, panels, and specific VIP experiences. All the proceeds from the event will go to the Rex Foundation, the Grateful Dead’s non-profit, and Camp Winnarainbow, Wavy Gravy’s summer camp for kids. Over the past two years, the event has raised over $50,000 for Wavy Gravy’s charities of choice.

For the musical lineup, on Friday, June 8th, the Ardmore Music Hall will host performances by Tom Hamilton and Holly Bowling & Friends, the Wavy All-Stars (featuring John Kadlecik, Dan Lebowitz [ALO], Reed Mathis [Golden Gate Wingmen], Jay Lane [RatDog/ Primus], and Hayley Jane), and Everyone Orchestra (led by Matt Butler and featuring Steve Kimock [RatDog/Zero], Eric Krasno [Soulive], Todd Stoops [Electric Beethoven], Natalie Cressman [Trey Anastasio Band], John Morgan Kimock [Mike Gordon], Pappy Biondo [Cabinet], Robyn Sylvester [RatDog], and Hayley Jane).

The next day, on Saturday, June 9th, the musical celebration will continue with sets from Rooster Conspiracy (featuring Eric Krasno, Todd Stoops, Reed Mathis, and Jay Lane), Jeff Austin Band (with special guest Pappy Biondo and Hayley Jane), and the Gravy All-Stars (featuring Steve Kimock, Dan Lebowitz, Robyn Sylvester, Jeff Austin, Natalie Cressman, Matt Butler [Everyone Orchestra], John Morgan Kimock and Pappy Biondo). Saturday will also see a late-night performance paying tribute to the Grateful Dead by Splintered Sunlight, a special “Grateful Brunch” (an intimate live music experience featuring Steve Kimock and others), and the Ramble On Panel (a Q&A with Wavy Gravy and other special guests).
