Phil Lesh continues to expand his 2019 tour schedule, which already included FloydFest, Peach Music Festival, a Red Rocks show with The Infamous Stringdusters, and more. It now also includes a just-announced 79th birthday run at his NYC-area home base the Capitol Theatre on March 14, 15, and 16. They’re Phil Lesh & Friends shows, and Phil will be “playing with a fresh lineup of old friends and first-time collaborators” that will be announced “in the coming months.” Stay tuned. Tickets for those shows go on sale Friday (12/21) at noon with various presales starting beforehand.

Phil’s tour also hits LA, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, and New Orleans. All dates are listed, with a full-set video from Phil’s recent Halloween run at the Cap, below.

In other Grateful Dead news, more Dave’s Picks are on the way in 2019, including the just-announced 1/2/70 concert at the Fillmore East in NYC. Dead & Co also have a 2019 tour scheduled.
