Jerry Jeff Tribute

JERRY JEFF MEMORIAL TRIBUTE


All involved in the planning have made the decision to move the tribute to Saturday, June 5 in Luckenbach, Texas.  We hope this will give enough time for us to get vaccinated to protect ourselves and others.  Even though the event will be outdoors, we feel this is safer for those who will want to travel in for the event.

In debating how to make this as comfortable for all concerned, it became obvious if we have a free show it will become a logistics nightmare.  So we have decided to sell tickets with the money going to help pay for the life sized bronze we have commissioned of Jerry Jeff and Hondo to permanently reside under the trees in Luckenbach.  I am quite sure that this idea came from these two scheming above about how cool it would be to have a major piece of art in the tiny town of Luckenbach!!  The artist has been chosen and is already working...he promises there will be a maquette ready for all to see on June 5.

There will be seated as well as general admission tickets available....with the general admission you will be able to distance and still enjoy the show.  There will also be corporate sponsorships available.

As always I will make sure our Tried & True fans/friends get first chance at tickets before they go on sale to the public.  The on sale date will be on Jerry Jeff's birthday, MARCH 16, so mark your calendars.  We will have a link at jerryjeff.com.

The artists involved will be representation of Jerry Jeff's entire musical career from New York to Key West to Nashville and finally Texas.

I will send more info as we get nearer the date.

When we were in Luckenbach a few months ago, there was a wall on one of the buildings that had a place where anyone and everyone could sign it.
