About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting



Laughing Bones came together in Jacksonville, Florida in 2005 and discovered that they shared remarkably similar tastes and approaches to making music. Since then, the performances have tightened and the repertoire has expanded to include acoustic shows as well as electric and swelling to over 70 tunes ranging from rock to blues to folk and reggae, with a special emphasis on the music written or performed by the good ole Grateful Dead. Can you dance to it? Sure, if you like. Is it fun? The odds are in your favor.

About Uncle Jerrys Birthday Today

We know. It still hurts, doesn't it? Just the thought of not hearing Garcia's sweet and wonderfully unique sound. Recordings could never capture it, so it can only live in our collective memories. And...
