The Grateful Dead rocked The Capitol Theatre’s stage 18 times in 1970-71 alone, with iconic moments like the February 18, 1971 debut of not one, not two, not three, but FIVE original songs: “Bertha,” “Loser,” “Greatest Story Ever Told,” “Playing in the Band,” and “Wharf Rat.” Garcia’s, lovingly christened by Jerry’s daughter Trixie, is steeped in Deadhead history, with photos and memorabilia celebrating the spirit of the big man himself.
Garcia’s is many things. It’s a venue and bar filled with mementos from Jerry Garcia’s career and it’s located inside of the amazing Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY! It’s also where TRüKKEN will be shredding PRE and POST UMPHREY’S McGEE’s epic performances.
These TRüKKEN performances are free for everyone attending Umphrey’s so let’s get ready for an absolutely mind melting night! If you have a ticket for Umphrey’s McGee, You have a ticket for TRüKKEN!
It’s also a night that Capitol Theatre is hosting a sneaker drive in partnership with The Sharing Shelf, a local organization dedicated to addressing clothing insecurity in the community.
They’ll be collecting new or gently used sneakers under the marquee during each night of the UMPH shows. Anyone who donates will be entered to win a signed Umphrey’s McGee item. It might be cowboy boots from an old Halloween costume or signed Stasik sneakers!!
