The City of Lakeland will play host to the Grateful Dead tribute band, Uncle John’s Band from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. on Friday, April 21, 2006 during the Music on the Promenade.

The monthly music series takes place at the Lake Mirror amphitheater which is between Hollis Garden and the Lake Mirror Center. The event is FREE to the public and families are encouraged to attend. There will be food and drink vendors on site so bring a blanket and enjoy the lake setting with music under the stars.

Uncle John's Band was formed in 1990 in Clearwater Florida from a combination of talented musicians who love to play the music of the Grateful Dead. The purpose of Uncle John's Band is to recreate the atmosphere and musical adventure of a live Dead show. Over the past many years, Uncle John's Band has performed hundreds of shows full of musical energy and pleasure for all those who have attended. Over the last fifteen years the band has developed a loyal fan base in the thousands who enjoy the music, atmosphere, and experience of the Grateful Dead.

Lakeland Electric’s Music on the Promenade is proudly sponsored by The Ledger, the City of Lakeland, Lakeland Parks & Recreation Department, Center Door Productions and Lakeland Electric.
