I am honored to be bringing some of my closest friends and most favorite musicians to the

incredible psychedelic art gallery “The Chambers Project” in Grass Valley, CA on Sunday, April

7th for a day of art and music to benefit my dear Uncle Jay, an absolute pillar of that community.

Uncle Jay and Aunt Mary were there the day I was born and they are some of the kindest

people and greatest champions of Dawg music on planet earth. They have known my dad since

they came backstage at the Great American Music Hall in 1976 with a killer joint, and they’ve

been dear friends ever since. Jay is a masterful cannabis cultivator, an incredibly brilliant

renaissance man, and a great mandolin picker!

Many a David Grisman Quintet show and recording session has been fueled by Jay’s incredible

herb, and Jay and Mary have made friends with legions of folks around the country through their

passion for music and their supremely high caliber artisanship. Lots of amazing musicians have

enjoyed Jay’s weed over the years including the likes of Jerry Garcia, John Hartford, Willie

Nelson, Tim O’Brien, Jerry Douglas, and Sam Bush. I even once handed I joint I rolled of Jay’s

weed directly to Merle Haggard, and I know he loved it!

Unfortunately, Uncle Jay has a battle with cancer ahead of him, and to spread awareness and

raise some funds for his medical expenses we’ll be having a day of music and art in his honor.

I’ll have the great @chrishollywoodenglish , @domles , @roywilliamsmusic , and myself as the

house band, and we’ll be joined by a bunch of Jay’s musical supporters, including DGQ

Alumnus Joe Craven, and his Daughter Hattie, fellow Dawg alum Matt Eakle, the legendary

Banana of the Youngbloods, and more friends to come! There will also be a silent auction,

some merchandise, and some special surprises, and all of the proceeds will go directly to

benefit Jay and Mary as they kick cancers ass and launch the greatest YouTube channel on the

planet! Tickets are on sale now, thanks for your support.
