Ye’ olde great jam lord Jerry Garcia would’ve been celebrating 79 turns around the sun on Aug. 1 (the Grateful Dead singer died in ‘95 from a heart attack, sadly, at a drug rehab facility).
Local Dead tribute act Unlimited Devotion is still celebrating the bearded icon’s legacy with an all-ages Sunday night show. The show is free but there are VIP options available, lest you trust fund hippies get called out (because bottle service and “Scarlet Begonias” don’t really pair well, right?).
Jerry Garcia Birthday Celebration: Unlimited Devotion. Sunday, Aug. 1, 7 p.m. Free. Jannus Live, St. Petersburg. jannuslive.com
