Grahame Lesh Hosts ‘Unbroken Chain’ All-Star Phil Lesh Birthday Celebration

Grahame Lesh will commemorate what would have been his father, Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh's 85th birthday with a pair of special shows at The Capitol Theatre. “Unbroken Chain: A Celebration Of The Life And Music Of Phil Lesh” will feature an all-star Grahame Lesh & Friends lineup performing at the Port Chester, New York rock palace on March 14 and 15.

The two-night stand will find Grahame Lesh joined by guitarists Eric Krasno and Rick Mitarotonda (Goose), bassist Oteil Burbridge, multi-instrumentalist Jason Crosby, drummer John Molo and trumpeter Jennifer Hartswick. “Many” additional special guests are to be announced.

The Capitol Theatre holds a special place in the hearts of the Lesh family as Phil performed over 100 shows at the venue, including annual runs on his birthday. Proceeds from ticket sales will go towards MusiCares and Undue Medical Debt, a pair of charitable organizations that hold deep personal significance for the Lesh family.

In celebration of what would have been my dad’s 85th birthday, I will be gathering many of his Friends and closest collaborators for a celebration of Phil’s life, music, and enduring legacy at The Capitol Theatre on March 14 and 15,” wrote Grahame Lesh on social media. “The Cap has been such a special place for my family, and I am honored to be able to host this celebration for our East Coast Deadhead family.”

General on-sales for “Unbroken Chain” tickets start on Friday, January 24 at 10 a.m. ET.
