Listen to tales of the Grateful Dead at Kepler’s on August 17

On Sunday, August 17, from 4:00 to 5:00 pm, come to Kepler’s Books in Menlo Park to hear from two authors who have written two seminal new titles about the Grateful Dead. Buy tickets.

Len Dell’Amico’s Friend of the Devil is the inside story of Jerry Garcia and Grateful Dead from one of the few non-band members allowed in the band’s inner circle. From 1980 to 1995, he witnessed brilliance, love, happy chaos, and pot. Lots of pot.

Jim Newton will be talking about Here Beside the Rising Tide, a kaleidoscopic history of the Grateful Dead that explores the American counterculture through the life of iconoclastic frontman Jerry Garcia, and his merry band.
