The Milford Arts Council is kicking off 2022 with a double show Jan. 8 by Jerry Garcia tribute band Deadgrass.
Deadgrass will be doing two separate shows at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The five-piece string band consists of Russ Gottlieb on banjo, Kensuke Shoji on fiddle, C Joseph Lanzbom on guitars, David Richards on bass and Matt Turk on mandolin, acoustic guitar and vocals.
Deadgrass celebrates and interprets the music of Jerry Garcia, drawing from Old & In The Way, JGB, Jerry’s Jug Band and The Grateful Dead.
“When Deadgrass has previously played at the MAC they have sold out with more people still wanting tickets,” said Meg Carriero, marketing specialist for the MAC. “Now with our lowered seating capacity due to the pandemic guidelines we figured it was best to have a double show to allow as many people to see Deadgrass as we can, and the band agreed.”
The MAC requires everyone to be fully vaccinated or show a negative covid test within 72 hours of entry and to wear a mask when walking around inside. All volunteers and staff are vaccinated and will be masked throughout the event. Concessions will be available, so no outside food or beverages are allowed in.
Tickets are on sale now. For more information or to purchase a ticket visit milfordarts.org.
