Calling all Deadheads! Join us for an in-depth conversation with two fantastic authors, Gabi Moskowitz and Jim Newton, on all things Jerry Garcia for our Days Between Celebration.
Gabi Moskowitz is the author of Dead in the Kitchen: The Official Grateful Dead Cookbook, a well-crafted extension of the vibrant, communal, free-spirited energy that the band and their legacy have graced us with for decades. Featuring the band’s iconic artwork, logos, and illustrations, this beautifully designed book brings the unmistakable Grateful Dead aesthetic to life on every page, making it a must-have collectible for devoted fans. This cookbook celebrates the Grateful Dead on each page and encourages more connection through gathering together and enjoying delicious food that’s good for feeding the mind, body, and soul.
Jim Newton is the author of Here Beside the Rising Tide: Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and an American Awakening, a kaleidoscopic history of the Grateful Dead that explores the American counterculture through the life of iconoclastic frontman Jerry Garcia, and his merry band. Nearly a century after his birth, Garcia’s influence stretches onward, expressed in guitar licks and a gentle way of life, one of excellence and gratitude, chasing freedom, living moment to moment, guided by song—the gift of the Grateful Dead.
