Dead Issue: Fader To Honor Jerry Garcia

EXCLUSIVE

Yes, you read that correctly. Fader, the well-regarded music magazine that is known for its indie cred and double covers, is set to publish its third annual “icon” issue honoring a single, influential artist. This year: Jerry Garcia.

If Garcia seems like a weird choice for a magazine that normally spotlights emerging, even fringe-y artists, he is. The issue, hitting stands (and iTunes) next week, includes “as told to” style interviews full of untold stories and reflections on Garcia’s bandmates and friends, including Carolyn “Mountain Girl” Adams Garcia, the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, David Grisman, Ornette Coleman, manager Richard Loren and the Dead’s legendary soundman Dan Healy — all of which sounds like it could be any copy of Relix, ever.
