Earlier this year Bob Weir performed a solo acoustic performance at the Sundance Film Festival in conjunction with the release of the film The Music Never Stopped. On Saturday May 28 he will follow this up with an appearance at the Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley, CA as part of a Benefit for Ring Mountain Day School. Then, in August, he will embark on his first ever solo acoustic tour. Five dates have been announced (although the details of one remain TBA), with the first gig on August 2 at the Bijou Theatre in Knoxville, TN. This will be Weir’s first such series of shows over the span of his 46 years as a touring musician.
