Play dead: Picture this truly interactive Deadhead experience: listening to “Black Muddy River” next to a (considerably less black and muddy) river and then singing along to “Ripple” as the late-evening sun dapples the water. Grateful Dead cover band The ’77z performs at the June edition of The Front Porch/Rivanna River Company’s Rivanna Roots.
Friday 6/11, $10, 5pm. Rivanna River Company, 1518 E. High St., frontporchcville.org.
