Phil Lesh announced on his Instagram account the set of dates at the theatre, from March 15, 17, 18, and 19. He will be celebrating his 83 birthday on March 15, and also on one of the dates he will be celebrating his 100th show at the venue.
At the shows there will be special guests, composed of industry heavy-hitters and former colleagues of the bandleader. Topping the lineup is Goose’s Rick Mitarontonda, followed by Medeski Martin & Wood mainstay John Medeski. Violinist Katy Jacoby will perform alongside them, as well as Lesh’s son and Midnight North guitarist/vocalist Grahame Lesh.
Other guests include songstress Nicki Bluhm, as well as the beloved members of the Trey Anastasio Band’s horn section: James Casey, Natalie Cressman and Jennifer Hartswick. Percussionist John Molo will also be performing each night.
Lesh announced on his 82nd birthday his Phil-O-Ween run, which occurred last October at The Capitol Theatre. He continues the tradition of having birthday shows at his favored venue. Tickets will go on sale to the general public starting on Jan. 27 at 10 a.m. to learn more, go here.
