Description

What Would Jerry Do? began as a one-time tribute honoring the legacy of Robert Hunter in 2019 and quickly grew into a long-running musical gathering rooted in community and shared history. Featuring members with deep ties to projects like The Quiet Riders, The David Bromberg Band, and more, the group brings a thoughtful, lived-in approach to the music of the Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band—along with the occasional unexpected turn. Presented in the intimate setting of Godfrey Daniels, this performance invites listeners to settle in, listen closely, and experience these songs through a fresh but deeply informed lens.

"What Would Jerry Do?" plays the music of The Grateful Dead and The Jerry Garcia Band, as well as the occasional "non-dead" curveball.

What began as a one-off tribute show to honor the passing of long-time Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter in 2019 quickly flourished into a monthly performance called "Steal Your Sunday" in the band's hometown of Lancaster, PA. Over the past six years, the band has gradually expanded its reach to include numerous events both public and private in the South Central Pennsylvania area and beyond. The members include Matt Hosttetter (Hoss & Friends, The Quiet Riders), Josh Kanusky (The David Bromberg Band, The Quiet Riders), Tuck Ryan (Tuck Ryan, The Quiet Riders), Caden Myers (Sun Not Yellow, The Quiet Riders), Jake Joyce (The Jake Joyce Band, The Quiet Riders), and Nate Young (Andy Mowatt's Frequency Movement). Together, these musicians present a unique take on the music of The Grateful Dead for an unforgettable live concert experience.

SO, WHAT IS A ‘MUSIC LISTENING ROOM’?

A music listening room is a dedicated space or venue designed to create an intimate and focused atmosphere for live music performances. It provides a setting where the primary focus is on the music and the experience of actively listening to it. Unlike traditional concert venues or bars, music listening rooms prioritize respectful attention from the audience, creating an environment where the music takes center stage and performers can connect with their listeners on a deeper level. The seating arrangement, acoustics, and overall ambiance of a music-listening room are carefully designed to enhance the listening experience, allowing for a more intimate and immersive encounter between the audience and the artists.
