🌹 Shakedown & Soul: A Night of Funk, Groove & Gratitude 🌹
A Charity Dance Party Honouring Jerry Garcia
In support of Chai Lifeline Canada
“Let there be songs to fill the air…”
On Saturday, August 9, we gather not just to dance—but to celebrate the music, spirit, and legacy of Jerry Garcia, who left this world on this day in 1995. Join us for a night where Grateful Dead soul meets funky grooves, and community comes together to make a difference.
🎶 Live Music by Shakedown & Soul
Toronto’s own all-star jam collective—born from the Deadhead scene and raised on rhythm. Featuring musicians from Beggars Waltz, Jake Koffman & Laura Wilson. Expect funky takes on Dead classics, soulful improvisation, and deep cuts that’ll keep your body moving and your spirit lifted.
🎧 DJ Sets by John Caravello & Michael J Brown
Once the live jams simmer down, we dive headfirst into a dancefloor journey of funky, soulful house—inspired by the grooves that kept Shakedown Street alive and well.
🌀 Whether you’re a lifelong Deadhead, a lover of the groove, or just looking for a night that means something—this one’s for you.

So dust off your dancing shoes, bring your tie-dye soul, and come celebrate a legend, a cause, and the power of good people coming together.
