"What Would Jerry Do?" plays the music of The Grateful Dead and The Jerry Garcia Band, as well as the occasional "non-dead" curveball. What began as a one-off tribute show to honor the passing of long-time Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter in 2019 quickly flourished into a monthly performance called "Steal Your Sunday" in the band's hometown of Lancaster, PA. Over the past six years, the band has gradually expanded its reach to include numerous events both public and private in the South Central Pennsylvania area and beyond. The members include Matt Hosttetter (Hoss & Friends, The Quiet Riders), Josh Kanusky (The David Bromberg Band, The Quiet Riders), Tuck Ryan (Tuck Ryan, The Quiet Riders), Caden Myers (Sun Not Yellow, The Quiet Riders), Jake Joyce (The Jake Joyce Band, The Quiet Riders), and Nate Young (Andy Mowatt's Frequency Movement). Together, these musicians present a unique take on the music of The Grateful Dead for an unforgettable live concert experience.
