Perth City Jam #3

Back at The Bird for another weeknight of bluegrass in the heart of Northbridge!

Our first jam had a balanced mix of instruments. Last time we had six banjos, one and a half rhythm guitarists and one fiddle 😂 Let’s see what the next session brings!

Focus tune is Wh***ey Before Breakfast, key of D

The William Street Bird has kindly provided us with a comfortable indoor space, seating and somewhere safe to leave instruments while we play. It’s a relaxed, welcoming place to share tunes, meet new people and enjoy bluegrass together.

The venue is a short walk from Perth Train Station and city bus stops. Paid parking is also available nearby.

Introducing something thats taken a long time...

This one is for the ladies and the gurlz, or anyone who wants to let out their inner bohemian.

Dead-inspired woven necklaces made for jam, grass and festival scenes.

Tiny, limited run. Sharing with followers first before any wider release.

Not sure if I’ll have more made.

More context for anyone curious ↓
I first came across woven macramé at the beach while I was at Bluesfest in 2024. I’ve always been around art and scroll work, and seeing people create complex 3D forms using nothing but string, time, energy and care really stuck with me.

After my Sphere experiences and Dead & Company concerts, I kept noticing macramé in the scene but never pieces made specifically for the Dead audience. I wanted to try creating something intentional, something that feels right for the wearer who genuinely identifies with it.

This collection is about the pieces themselves. Texture, movement, light, and how they sit on the body. Made for future Dead shows, jam and grass scenes, festivals, in Australia, the US, or wherever the road takes you.

Custom Tie Dye Tee, pink, green and blue

The final result had me thinking it was Oz themed

I try to avoid Ai for most of what Im building but I couldnt help myself, by generating the background image for this one

You can order a custom dye with this graphic to your liking here: https://unclekens.com/b/customtiedye

Once again, just to reiterate the process
1. Blank Tee soaked in Soda Ash Water Solution
2. Shirt is laid out on a wet table and folded to the pattern (This one is a spiral)
3. Tied using elastic bands or sinew
4. Dye's filled from powder and applied
5. Soaked overnight
6. Hand washed
7. Machine washed

Thats the basics, a couple of learnt techniques inbetween

Theres alot of time, labour and care that goes into this, every peice I consider keeping but Im glad it goes to those that see its worth!

Rest in peace, Bob Weir.

Thankyou for the Music and more

Here he is playing one of my most memorable dead songs with John Mayer at the Sphere on July 12, 2024.

I was lucky to receive a miracle for my first dead concert as I had a spare day before my July 13th event

I never got around to sharing this video but it represents so much to me learning about this scene and community paired with how beautiful the melody of this song is.

The lyrics ring even truer now with 'the old man getting on'

With so many of the original Grateful Dead figures having passed on, it’s up to us or the younger generation to carry that torch on

The world needs that energy and that understanding of what the Dead were all about

Hope you understand that we are the ones with the power and spirit to keep that energy alive
