Jerry & Dawg Revisited Debut at The Great American Music Hall
On August 16th, Jerry & Dawg Revisited made their San Francisco debut at The Great American Music Hall. Featuring Stu Allen, Joe Craven, Jim Kerwin, and Andrew Collins, this show brought generations of fans together to celebrate the music of Garcia Grisman.
Jerry & Dawg Revisited was born to pay tribute to the acoustic work of Jerry Garcia and David Grisman from 1990-1994. This project features original Garcia Grisman Band members Joe Craven and Jim Kerwin, along with Stu Allen in Jerry’s seat and either Andrew Collins or Ronnie McCoury filling the role of Dawg. Together, they are bringing the magic and passion that Garcia Grisman was known for back to the stage.
Don't miss your chance to experience Jerry & Dawg Revisited as they head to Sanger, CA for the Golden Road Festival this November. Tickets available here!
https://ausrealpokies.com happened to be open while I was reading about Joe Craven and Jim Kerwin anchoring this lineup, and that detail about original Garcia Grisman members sharing the stage with Stu Allen is what makes a tribute act feel like more than just a cover band. Hearing someone who actually played those sessions next to a new generation of players probably gives the material a depth you can't fake. Curious whether they lean into the more experimental 1994 stuff or keep it closer to the earlier acoustic sets.
