Steve Kimock, the David Nelson Band, Jesse McReynolds and members of Railroad Earth and Moonalice will come together on June 10 for a late night concert at the 33rd annual Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa, CA billed as “A Tribute to the Life of Owsley “Bear” Stanley and the Musical Spirit of Jerry Garcia.” The show, which is set to run from 9PM to 3AM, will take place in Harmony Hall on the festival grounds at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds.
The Kimock, Nelson and McReynolds-led band will perform all of Bear’s Choice as part of the tribute to Owsley, the legendary chemist who passed away earlier this year. Those who purchase Three Day Plus, Whole Festival, VIP or a separate Friday night ticket will be able to attend what’s sure to be a special tribute to Jer and Bear. Primus, the Flaming Lips, Michael Franti & Spearhead and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals are just a few of the acts scheduled to play the Harmony Festival’s five stages over the course of the three-day event.

Finally, Santana received the Beacon of Change award before yesterday’s Braves-Phillies MLB game in Atlanta. The legendary guitarist used the platform to rail against new immigration laws that are on the books in Georgia and Arizona. “This is the United States. This is the land of the free. If people want the immigration laws to keep passing, then everybody should get out and leave the American Indians here,” Santana said in an impromptu press conference following remarks about the new laws according to the AP.
