Jack-A-Roses

About the band

Jack-A-Roses

Silver Spring, MD

Jack-A-Roses is listed in the volunteer Grateful Dead tribute directory as a Silver Spring, Maryland act, and turns up independently on DC-suburb bar calendars — McGinty's Public House in Silver Spring, Tommy Joe's in Bethesda, and the Friday Music series at Clarksville Commons on Clarksville Pike. Beyond those listings there is essentially no public record: no website, no press coverage, and no member names I could find. The name reads as a mash of two Dead staples, 'Jack-A-Roe' and 'It Must Have Been the Roses.'
