Mr. Hat Presents the triumphant return of LIKE A ROSE, performing the music of the Jerry Garcia Band with Heart & Soul! This exciting project features familiar faces from Melvin Seals & JGB, The Dead 70's, and Lovin' Dead. Staying true to the African-American Spiritual Roots of the JGB songbook is what Like a Rose is about, and they approach the material with reverence and passion. Inspired by and featuring the vocals of original JGB member Cheryl Rucker, with Stephanie-Hartwell Mandella.
Also featuring Burt Lewis on bass, Anna Elva on drums, Jeff Quigley on the Hammond Organ, and Jay Wilcox on lead guitar and vocals, this band is a beautiful testament to the beauty and spirit of JGB. Catch them while you can at this quality women-owned neighborhood music venue in the East Bay!
