Friends of Jerry

About the band

Friends of Jerry

Philadelphia, PA

Friends of Jerry is a Grateful Dead cover band based in Philadelphia. They work the city's club circuit — Johnny Brenda's, Khyber Pass Pub, the Ukie Club, Ardmore Music Hall, Front & Palmer — plus outdoor dates like Spruce Street Harbor Park. Rather than sell studio recordings, they upload full board tapes of their own shows to Bandcamp, each titled by date and room. Logged setlists are Dead-catalogue heavy, with 'Eyes of the World', 'St. Stephen' and 'China Cat Sunflower' among their most-played, alongside occasional soul and folk covers. They also maintain a side release billed as 'FRIENDS OF BOBBY'.
