San Geronimo Valley Community Center

The San Geronimo Valley Community Center and Pt. Reyes Books proudly present THE GRATEFUL DEAD BY JIM MARSHALL : an evening of Photos, Stories and Music. The evening begins at 6:00pm with a book discussion facilitated by David Gans and Amelia Davis, the co-authors and curators of the book, THE GRATEFUL DEAD BY JIM MARSHALL: Photos and Stories from the Formative Years, 1966–1977. Music with David Gans' It Was Dead When I Got Here follows at 7:00pm
THE GRATEFUL DEAD BY JIM MARSHALL features hundreds of photos—many never before seen—by the greatest rock and roll photographer of them all. With this book fans can immerse themselves in the Grateful Dead’s formative years, from their humble beginnings to their rise to global stardom, the era when they developed their pioneering musical style and their legendary live performances. The book is curated by Amelia Davis and David Gans and features an afterword by Grammy‐winning musician John Mayer.
THE GRATEFUL DEAD BY JIM MARSHALL represents the unbeatable pairing of an iconic band with the ultimate rock and roll photographer. Jim Marshall took over 10,000 pictures of the Grateful Dead over the course of his career—from electrifying photos of the Dead performing for masses of fans to intimate moments of band members rehearsing and creating together to casual domestic scenes. Marshall’s instinctive eye matched the Dead’s improvisational style, and he was welcomed into its family as a peer, colleague, and friend. He was there with the Grateful Dead at Woodstock, the Newport Pop Festival, the last free concert on Haight Street, the Human Be‐In, and many more. THE GRATEFUL DEAD BY JIM MARSHALL features over 200 of his images—a third of which have never been published anywhere—all printed in the rich, high‐contrast tones that Marshall favored.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS Jim Marshall, who died in 2010 at age 74, is widely celebrated as a premier music photographer and a pioneer of the genre. His portfolio includes photos of virtually every major musician of his era, not only the icons of rock and roll, but also giants of jazz, blues, and country. Annie Leibowitz called him “THE rock and roll photographer.” Marshall was a legend not only for his outsize personality but also for the way he seemed to disappear when behind his trademark Leica camera, thereby producing some of the most intimate and iconic images in music history.
 David Gans is a musician, author, and radio host. He has published five books about the Grateful Dead and produced boxed sets, compilations, and tribute albums for the band. Gans lives in Oakland, CA. Amelia Davis is the owner and manager of Jim Marshall Photography LLC. She lives in San Francisco. John Mayer is a GRAMMY® Award–winning artist and songwriter. Since 2015, he has toured with Dead &amp; Company on lead guitar and vocals.

Monarchs in Marin: A Practical Guide to Help Them Survive

Many artists today practice their art outside the museum, aiming to use their art skills to make a positive social contribution. These Social Practice artists share a postmodern ethos: everyday living, community work, relationships, organizing and other often-overlooked aspects of artmaking are as significant as the creation of art objects. Guest speaker Avril Angevine will present this exciting trend in contemporary art through the work of Mark Bradford, Judy Chicago, Suzanne Jackson, Suzanne Lacy, and Theaster Gates. <a href="https://townofsananselmolibrary.libcal.com/event/15484234" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Register today!</a>
