About this Event
Join PsyT, Texans for Greater Mental Health, and Guest DJ Zach Leary for a special collaboration – an intimate happy hour celebrating the enduring spirit and influence of Bob Weir and the Grateful Dead at Austin’s Hi-Fi vinyl sanctuary, Equipment Room.
Zach will guide the evening with Dead-adjacent tracks, deep cuts, and exploratory jams, weaving stories of music, consciousness, and cultural evolution throughout the set. The event will bring Austin’s psychedelic community together around the music and culture that continues to inspire connection and curiosity.
