⚡ MEET THE JERRYFEST FAMILY ⚡

Say hello to Tony Bellucci. 🌹

Tony lives in Fort Collins Colorado with his wife and twin boys. He is a arborist by trade and if you look up during the day, you may catch him swinging around keeping the trees of northern Colorado looking beautiful. Influenced by a wide range of styles from Townes Van Zandt to Modest Mouse, Tony found his musical home providing tasteful rhythmic accompaniment à la Bob Weir. He is a proud member of Tumbledown Shack and hopes to be providing northern Colorado with music for many years to come.

We’re bringing together an incredible crew of musicians for one big night celebrating Jerry, the songs, and the community that keeps this music alive.

See Tony at JerryFest on August 21 at Washington’s in Fort Collins. 🎸 Ticket link in first comment.

🌹⚡ WHO’S PLAYING JERRYFEST? ⚡🌹

Next up: Michael Kirkpatrick

For more than 30 years, Fort Collins musician Michael Kirkpatrick has been a cornerstone of Northern Colorado’s music community, earning a reputation as one of the region’s most adventurous songwriters, vocalists, and string players. A Telluride Troubadour Award winner, seven-time FoCoMA Best Singer-Songwriter, and recipient of FoCoMA’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Michael has spent decades blending folk, bluegrass, rock, and psychedelia into a sound all his own.
Michael's connection to the Grateful Dead began as a teenager, when he caught several Grateful Dead shows in the early 1990s. Those experiences left a lasting mark, shaping his understanding of improvisation, community, and the idea that a concert could be something bigger than a performance. That influence continues to echo through his songwriting and live shows today.

JerryFest is a natural home for Michael. As a member of Pickin' On The Dead, he brings the Grateful Dead songbook to life through the lens of acoustic string music, honoring the spirit of improvisation while adding his signature mandolin playing, rich baritone voice, and fearless musical curiosity.

Beyond Pickin' On The Dead, Michael fronts the neo-psychedelic Americana band Violet Pilot, Fort Collins favorites The Holler! and performs extensively as a solo artist. He has shared stages with artists including Zac Brown, Billy Strings, Sam Bush, Greensky Bluegrass, Leftover Salmon, Charlie Musselwhite, Darol Anger, and Jim Belushi.

Whether he's channeling Jerry or Bobby, delivering an original song, or stretching a jam into unexpected territory, Michael's performances celebrate community, exploration, and the joy of live music.

Every artist brings their own sound, their own story, and their own connection to this music.

On August 21, it all comes together at Washington’s.
