Dark Star Orchestra is thrilled to announce their return to the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA for a special two-night stand on July 31 and August 1 as The Music Never Stops: A Rex Foundation Benefit & Tribute to Bob Weir. This highly anticipated run will feature a powerhouse lineup that will celebrate the Grateful Dead's extended family and enduring legacy.
