On Saturday, February 18th, at 8 p.m., the Dry Branch Fire Squad will be playing a special concert of old-time and bluegrass music at the Sausalito Presbyterian Church at 8 p.m. Formed in 1976 and led by the highly entertaining Ron Thomason, Dry Branch is known for its exceptional live performances, which include hot picking combined with self-deprecating humor and intelligence.
This concert will also be a celebration of the life of the late San Francisco investment banker, philanthropist and banjo player Warren Hellman, who also sponsored the highly successful and popular Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festivals in SF’s Golden Gate Park every October. Hellman passed away on December 18th, 2011. Partial proceeds from the concert will benefit the San Francisco Free Clinic, which was founded by Hellman’s daughter and son-in-law.
