‘The Days Between’ is a time to honor and celebrate the memory and the music of Jerry Garcia and the  Grateful Dead. Jerry was born on August 1, 1942 and died on August 9, 1995. The nine days between  Jerry’s birthday and his passing are considered ‘The Days Between.’ The festival is an honor for the  festival to hold the namesake of this time 

Black Oak Ranch offers an intimate festival site in a majestic setting of oak woodlands, meadows, and seasonal creeks — a perfect place to gather with family and friends. Black Oak Ranch has a rich history of hosting unforgettable festivals and events.  

Performing to critical acclaim for 25 years, Dark Star Orchestra continues the Grateful Dead live concert experience. Their shows are built off the Dead’s extensive catalog and the talent of these seven fine musicians. On any given night, the band will perform a show based on a set list from the Grateful Dead’s  30+ years of extensive touring or use their catalog to program a unique set list for the show. This allows fans both young and old to share in the experience. By recreating set lists from the past, and by developing their own sets of Dead songs, Dark Star Orchestra offers a continually evolving artistic outlet within this musical canon. Honoring both the band and the fans, Dark Star Orchestra’s members seek out the unique style and sound of each era while simultaneously offering their own informed improvisations. Dark Star Orchestra is thrilled to honor the Grateful Dead’s long history and connection to the Black Oak Ranch at The Days Between.

  1. Saw the Grateful Dead back in 1976 with the Who. More than fingers and toes afterwards. Always a fine time Even if it was an off night, as the crowd was always interesting and fun to talk to.The reincarnations were fun also playing even today. I always tried to make a Phiil Lesh concert especially if Jackie Greene was the guest guitarist!! I wish I could go but just a bit too old, but I suggest you go and have fun.
