Phil Lesh and Bob Weir

Those looking for the inspiration of the current jam band movement need look no further than Phil Lesh. A founding member of the venerable American musical institution, the Grateful Dead, Lesh has continued to inspire while pushing the envelope with his highly evolved musical performances. The world-class musicians that have passed through Phil Lesh & Friends have thrilled audiences with their high-flying improvisations and timeless renditions of Grateful Dead classics. In 2005, Little Brown published Phil Lesh's memoir titled: Searching For The Sound - My Life with the Grateful Dead, which found the inventive bassist on the New York Times Best Seller List. Last fall, Image Entertainment released Phil Lesh & Friends' first DVD release - Live at the Warfield. For Phil Lesh the relentless pursuit of improvisation is well known.

September 17
 Bruce Molsky
Where: Jaqua Concert Hall - The Shedd
When: 7:30 PM Friday

With great pleasure, The Shedd Institute welcomes Bruce Molsky back to the Jaqua Concert Hall for an evening of unforgetable traditional music.

Alone or with fellow musicians; guitar, fiddle, or banjo in hand, Bruce Molsky has been exploring traditional music from an astonishingly broad range of cultures over the past two decades - synthesizing them and refracting them through his own evolving sensibilities to the point where the sources of his inspiration transform themselves into a sound that is uniquely his. While most identified with traditional American old-time music, Molsky's influences range from the Appalachian soul of Tommy Jarrell to Delta blues; from the haunting modal strains of Irish music to the rhythmically nimble music of Eastern Europe.

Ticket Pricing: $8.00 - $12.00 Youth | $13.00 - $24.00 Adult

September 17 - October 30
 Smokey Joe's Cafe
Where: Actors Caberet and Annex - Eugene, Oregon
When: Friday & Saturday at 8:00

Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, as much as anyone, virtually invented rock 'n' roll, and now their songs provide the basis for an electrifying entertainment that illuminates a golden age of American culture. In an idealized '50's setting, the classic themes of love won, lost and imagined blend with hilarious set-pieces and slice-of-life emotions.

Featuring nearly 40 of the greatest songs ever recorded. If SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE was a newly-written musical it would be hailed as one of the greatest pieces of songwriting ever done for the Broadway stage. The fact that the show is a collection of pop songs written by Leiber and Stoller in the 1950s and '60s is no less remarkable. This material, without the aid of a book stringing dramatic action together and without ever being intended to exist as a coherent body of work on its own, provides the basis of an electrifying performance that recapitulates a golden age of American culture

Cottage Theatre Ticket Pricing: $11.00 - $39.95

Willie Nelson
Where: The Cuthbert Amphitheater
When: 7:00 PM Sunday

Willie Hugh Nelson is an American country singer-songwriter, author, poet, actor and activist. He reached his greatest fame during the outlaw country movement of the 1970s, and remains iconic, especially in American popular culture.

Nelson's touring and recording group is a collection of a number of longstanding members, including his sister Bobbie Nelson, longtime drummer Paul English, harmonicist Mickey Raphael, Bee Spears, Billy English (Paul's younger brother), and Jody Payne. Willie tours North America in his bio-diesel (aka "Bio-Willie" - Willie Nelson Bio-diesel) bus, the "Honeysuckle Rose IV."
