We’re coming up on the 25th anniversary of the passing of the great Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Jerry sadly passed away on August 9, 1995, a day many us still remember.
Though the Grateful Dead ended with Jerry’s passing, the surviving members of the band would go on to perform on their own or in some cases with their fellow Dead bandmates.
When Phil Lesh toured on his own, he brought special guests with him that he called his “Friends.” Phil would make frequent stops to our area, most notably at The Gathering of the Vibes Music Festival in Bridgeport or at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester.
Today we look back at Phil’s concert in Massachusetts in 2006.

Incubus is a band that doesn’t come to Connecticut often. In fact, in the last decade the alternative rock band from California has played in our state only twice: 2019 at Foxwoods and 2011 at Mohegan Sun.
That’s why many of us where excited when Live Nation had announced in early February that Incubus (with 311) were coming to Hartford’s XFINITY Theatre in August 2020. But unfortunately, due to COVID-19, that show has been cancelled. Bummer!
Hopefully in 2021, when Incubus celebrates its 30th anniversary as a band, we’ll see them again in Connecticut.
Today we look back the first time Incubus played at Mohegan Sun, in 2009 on their Monuments & Melodies Tour.
