Bring your friends and family and let’s do some dancing in the streets to celebrate what the Grateful Dead started 25 years ago and all that we can do together the next 25 years.

Sweet Music Everywhere will be another special gathering in the tradition of Rex Foundation’s Warfield events. These began on December 1, 2001, with the benefit concert The Healing Power of Music which launched the Rex Foundation’s renewal.

On December 13th, The Warfield will yet again be filled with people enjoying new and old connections, incredible music not heard anywhere else, and the spirit of helping the Rex Foundation launch another 25 years of grassroots giving.

To purchase special pre-concert party and premium concert seating tickets call 415-561-3135 or download the ticket order form.

Reserved balcony tickets of $40 available through Ticketmaster and GDTSTOO, with limited availability through the Rex Foundation.

Take a look at two videos at RexFoundation.org:

One is an invitation from Carolyn Garcia inviting people to attend the Rex Benefit.

The other is an interview Rex Foundation executive director Sandy Sohcot did with Stanley Mouse about the poster he created for the benefit. There is an interesting quip he makes about Jerry at the end of the video.
