Billy and the Kids will play an official ‘Dear Jerry’ pre-party on May 13 at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. Along with being an official pre-party, the show will benefit the Rex Foundation and will be the band’s last show until after the Fare Thee Well shows where Kreutzmann will join the surviving members of the Grateful Dead for two shows in Santa Clara and three in Chicago, IL.

Billy and the Kids is Bill Kreutzmann along with Aron Magner, Reed Mathis and Tom Hamilton. The band will also make appearances at Gathering of the Vibes and Peach Music Festival, where they will be joined by Bob Weir.

Tickets are available here.

As previously reported, Dear Jerry will bring together the likes of Hart, Kreutzmann, Weir, Lesh, Bruce Hornsby, Greensky Bluegrass, Yonder Mountain String Band, Trampled By Turtles, The Disco Biscuits and more to pay homage to Jerry Garcia. The show, slated for May 14 at Merriweather Post Pavilion, is currently sold out.
