Unbroken Chain: A Celebration of the Life and Music of Phil Lesh

The Music Begins: Honoring Phil Lesh’s Enduring Spirit

The first night of Unbroken Chain opens as both a tribute and a homecoming, bringing musicians and fans together to honor the life and musical legacy of Phil Lesh. Friday’s performance sets the foundation for the weekend, revisiting the songs that helped define an era of live music rooted in exploration and freedom.

This evening leans into shared history and collective memory, with performances that feel reverent yet alive. Rather than recreating the past, the music unfolds organically, shaped by interpretation, connection, and respect for Lesh’s fearless approach to sound.

Friday night invites listeners to settle in, reflect, and reconnect, marking the start of a weekend built on gratitude, community, and musical discovery.
