Garcia’s To Open with Reid Genauer and Friends

May 2, 2013

Last week, Jerry Garcia’s daughter Trixie was on hand as the Capitol Theatre officially named its new bar after Jerry Garcia. Garcia’s—which is connected to the theater and will be open during shows—will function as its own space in the Port Chester, NY’s venue when the main theater is dark. First up will be a three night stand from Reid Genauer and Friends. The Assembly of Dust/Strangefolk frontman will appear from May 16-18. The event is priced at $10 with tickets now on sale.

Garcia’s will include rare photos, artwork and equipment, including vintage never-before-seen shots from famed music/fashion photographer Roberto Robanne, who met Garcia in 1966 and had unlimited access to the band. The bar will also have a 18" bronze sculpture of Garcia’s hand, which has been loaned to the establishment by noted philanthropist and Grateful Dead fan Scott Brittingham. Garcia’s will offer craft beers, as well as wines and spirits, with a focus on local producers.
