Week 8 - DEADHEAD ALERT - CELEBRATE JERRY GARCIA'S BIRTHDAY IN HENNIKER
The Town of Henniker and our evening co‐sponsors: Edmunds ACE Hardware and The Country Spirit Restaurant plan a homage to the seminal musicianship of Jerry Garcia on his birthday (81) – Tuesday, August 1, by presenting NH’s Premier Grateful Dead Tribute Band: Not Fade Away Band (NFAB). Be sure to stop by their tables for some special giveaways. Co‐sponsor Country Spirit Restaurant is our food vendor that evening and will be selling a variety of Grateful Dead inspired food items you won’t want to miss.
According to Rob Azevedo, Concord Monitor, “New Hampshire’s premier tribute band to the Grateful Dead, NFAB is a skilled group of players with decades worth of cumulative gigging experience brought together by a mutual love for the music and culture of the Grateful Dead.”
NFAB strives to bring their audiences high energy, danceable versions of their favorite songs ‐ all performed with a touch of NFAB’s own flavor and served complete with soulful vocal harmonies, psychedelic improvisational jams, and a few special surprises mixed in each time they take the stage. Having performed at venues and festivals all over the region, NFAB has gained a “deadicated” following with whom they continue to celebrate the Grateful Dead’s unique relationship between the music, the culture, the players, and the fans. Each show is a celestial experience, leaving audiences equal parts satiated and longing for more. You know our love will Not Fade Away!
Stake out your space in Community Park, put down your blanket or beach chairs and prepare for a lively evening in the good company of your friends, neighbors and loved ones. Bring a picnic supper or visit one of Henniker’s local establishments before or after the concert to complete the evening.
