About the band

W.W.J.D?

Lancaster, PA

What Would Jerry Do? — usually written W.W.J.D. — is a Lancaster, Pennsylvania band that plays the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band songbooks. The group grew out of a one-off tribute show staged after Dead lyricist Robert Hunter died in 2019, and the response turned it into a standing monthly afternoon series in their hometown. That series, 'Steal Your Sunday', runs at Zoetropolis Theatre in Lancaster as a 2pm pay-what-you-want matinee. The lineup draws on players from other Lancaster-area bands including The Quiet Riders, Hoss & Friends and The David Bromberg Band. Over roughly six years they have widened out to public and private dates across Pennsylvania, including Dead-tribute billings at rooms such as 118 North in Wayne.
