NJ roots rock band Widely Grown will host a special celebration of the music of the Grateful Dead with a special performance at Big Rail Brewing on August 15th.
The show highlights another crossover between Widely Grown and Hudson County Grateful Dead tribute group Strangers Stopping Strangers, featuring Widely Grown frontman James Calleo and guitarist Dave DeRiso, both active members of the local Dead scene.
Earlier this year, Calleo and DeRiso also performed as part of the sold out Bob Weir Tribute at Brooklyn Bowl, a special event streamed nationally through Relix and Nugs.net that brought together musicians from across the jam band community to celebrate the legendary Grateful Dead guitarist and songwriter.
Known for blending Americana, rock, improvisation, and community driven live performances, Widely Grown continues to build momentum throughout the Northeast festival and independent music circuit while staying deeply connected to the spirit and songbook of the Grateful Dead.
The August 15 performance at Big Rail Brewing promises an evening of classic Dead tunes, improvisation, and the good vibes that have become synonymous with both Widely Grown and Strangers Stopping Strangers.
