JUST DO IT: Jerry Garcia's B-day party

Jerry Garcia's 68^th birthday is this Sunday, and North Star Bar is celebrating the late musician with a performance by country-tinged rock band Jemimah Puddleluck, a group fronted by Mark Karan, who used to play with The Other Ones, a band comprised of former Grateful Dead members, with Karan filling in the role of Garcia. While the band's performance is a perfect way for Dead Heads to celebrate Garcia's birthday, Andrew Miller from the North Star says the band's touring schedule was more a serendipitous little surprise for Philly, rather than a pre-planned birthday party. "The stars happened to align and they were available," Miller says. The concert will also feature a performance by local jam band Psychadelphia. "It's more of a show ... that happens to be on Jerry Garcia's birthday, just to get people in the spirit of the Dead," Miller says. "You can call it a party if you want, you can call it a rock show."
Sun., Aug. 1, 8 p.m. $15-18, North Star, 2639 Poplar St., 215-787-0488.
