After cancelling their Red Rocks show that was scheduled for early June, Joe Russo didn’t think he would get to bring his Grateful Dead Project, JRAD to Colorado in 2021. Fortunately that changed recently and the band will take the stage at the 1stBank Center for the second time.

In many ways it’s the highlight of many people’s summers and this year’s festival again demonstrated why this festival has worked it’s way into the hearts and minds of so many.
