FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Guanabanas Hosts All-Day Jerry Garcia Birthday Jam July 31

Seven bands to celebrate 51 years of the Grateful Dead at the Jupiter waterfront restaurant and live music venue

Jupiter, FL – July 12, 2016 – Grateful Dead founder, lead singer and guitaristJerry Garcia may have gone on to the great gig in the sky in 1995, but his music and memory live on in the hearts of Deadheads throughout the world. The life of the lord of psychedelia will be celebrated at Guanabanas Island Restaurant (960 N Highway A1A, Jupiter, FL 33477) on Sunday, July 31, 2016beginning at 1 p.m. during a special event presented by Roots Music, NewBelgium Brewing and Sailor Jerry, featuring Uproot Hootenany, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Reflections, Guavatron, Unlimited Devotion, The Southern Belles and the Funkin’ Grateful. There is no cover and the show is all-ages.

“Jerry’s birthday has always been a great day to celebrate the music of the Grateful Dead, as Jerry’s playing had such a huge influence on the musical community,” says Guanabanas talent buyer Matt Cahur. “We thought it would be a great day of music to bring together some incredible national acts to celebrate the music of Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead and all the great bands of that era. We appreciate the support of the local music community and our sponsors New Belgium and Sailor Jerry.”

Along with the birthday celebration, Guanabanas will also be celebrating New Belgium’s 25th Anniversary with a tap takeover featuring all of New Belgium’s iconic beers, including the seven Phat Tire and friends “Coolabeeration” beers. There will be tasting tents and beer specials on Guanabanas’ premier property. Cahur adds: “Blending the music of the Dead and great beer and rum, who could ask for more?”

Deerfield Beach’s Uproot Hootenany is a roots, folk, Celtic, bluegrass and jam quartet who play the East Coast of Florida extensively. The band is a favorite at music festivals in and around the state, and will embark on a tour of Ireland later this summer. They have released three collections of music, including 2014’s Way Out.

“The Greatest Story Ever Told” was the title track off of Dead member Bob Weir’s first solo album called Ace. What a better name for an offshoot group featuring some of the great artists of our local area put together only for this show? It will be hard to say who will sit in on this 60-minute set, but the elements of surprise will keep it very interesting.

Reflections is a Jerry Garcia tribute band whose focus is on the man’s music outside of the Grateful Dead. Featuring former members of the group Crazy Fingers, they cover the period of Garcia’s solo work from 1972 until the artist’s death in 1995. More details: www.facebook.com/ReflectionsOfJGB.

They express themselves through improvisation in the musical vein of jazz and funk. Their repertoire also includes staples by Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Cream, Jefferson Airplane and others.

The Richmond, VA-based Southern Belles play a high-octane mix of Southern psychedelic rock and roll, performing at hundreds of venues and festivals each year.

Jessi Campo Releases La Lupe Remake “Que Te Pedi”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Recording Artist Jessi Campo Releases La Lupe Remake “Que Te Pedi” 

Digital-only track first single from new tribute album to be issued July 19
Miami, FL – July 12, 2016 – Miami-based songwriter / chanteuse Jessi Campo released her latest single today. “Que Te Pedi” was originally a hit in the 1960s for the fiery Cuban performer La Lupe, who was known as the Queen of Latin Soul. Produced by Jose D. Velazquez, the remake is somewhat of a legacy piece for Campo, who self-identifies with La Lupe’s passionate delivery and fiercely independent attitude, and whose fatherGiovanni Rodriguez worked alongside Tito Puente, famed Puerto Rican band leader and La Lupe producer. The single is streaming on Spotify, available for purchase on Google Play, and will be accompanied by a lyric video.

“The recent Celia series on Telemundo included the appearance of the legend’s contemporary La Lupe, which sparked my interest in the artist’s original catalog,” says Campo. “I realized her passionate songs truly spoke to my life experiences and that her emotive style was a perfect fit for mine. It also reflected my love for the mid-to late 60s New York Latin music scene, as well as my Cuban roots.”

Campo, encouraged by festival producer Tony Cruz Sr. to explore the bolerostyle, has recorded what is perhaps the first acoustic piano / vocal version of the classic “Que Te Pedi”, featuring Miami-based jazz pianist, educator and author Mike Orta (Arturo Sandoval, Paquito D’Rivera, Nestor Torres) on the ivories. Further adding to the legacy aspect of the single, Tito Puente, Jr. serves as co-producer on the track.

Campo was also drawn to the trail blazed by La Lupe for women, one of fiercely strong independence. The latter originally performed in clubs around Cuba, eventually becoming the owner of one before being forced to give it all up sue to the political change over. La Lupe emigrated to New York in 1962, where she teamed up with fellow Cuban exile Mongo Santamaria, and Puente.

Her upcoming full-length La Pasion de La Lupe will be released July 19, 2016, featuring additional cuts by La Lupe, including another well-known staple “La Tirana”. It will also feature “Vivio La Vida”, a moving tribute to Campo’s father co-written and produced by Michael NOMAD Ripoll (guitarist and musical director for Babyface).

For more information, please visit JessiCampoMusic.com or emailjaviproductionsinc@gmail.com.

Notable South American reggae band plays Jupiter waterfront restaurant, bar and music venue during Latin music night

Founded in 1987 during the turbulent and violently oppressive times of Augosto Pinochet’s dictatorial rule, Gondwana’s chart-topping “reggae & roll” sound is inspired equally by Bob Marley and The Police. Currently on their “Babylon by Van” tour of the United States, the performance at Guanabanas on June 24 will also be hosted by Lance-O from Kulcha Shok Muzik.

Affordably priced appointments are available seven days a week at any time and most private insurance carriers are accepted. Short and long term dialysis treatments are available.

“Miami Beach Elite Dialysis strives to improve the quality of your life,” says Dr. Adan. “I have always believed in carefully listening to a patient in order to help improve the level of their treatment, their well-being and life expectancy, as well as treating them with proper care and dignity. These are traits that have served me well during my 35 plus years of experience in the practice of nephrology.”

Dr. Adan’s specialty as a nephrologist began with a Fellowship in 1984 at the prestigious New York Presbyterian-Columbia Hospital, Cornell University, when she was accepted to the Rogosin Kidney Center. Dr. Adan’s years of research and medical training created an exceptional path that lead to advanced learning and a multitude of degrees from many universities. Affiliated with Mount Sinai Medical Center, she received her medical degree from University of Santiago de Compostela, La Coruna Spain, and is one of nine doctors at Mount Sinai Medical Center who specialize in nephrology.

Apart from the serene ambiance, Miami Beach Elite Dialysis is different from other dialysis facilities in that they offer a skilled staff that provides one-to-one care and patient supervision, and who are committed to the finest quality patient treatment. They do so in sound-proof private suites equipped with smart TVs with access to Netflix, YouTube, and Pandora. In addition, they provide free, secure Wi-Fi Internet access and ergonomic laptop tables with customized lighting that allows patients to continue working and being productive during treatment in the facility.

As part of their commitment to exceptional service and comfort, Miami Beach Elite Dialysis also offers staff-assisted home hemodialysis treatment performed by a certified nursing staff in the privacy of a patient’s home if they so desire, all up to four to six times a week. All their dialysis chairs are equipped with heating massage settings, and recline to a completely flat position, allowing the patient to sleep if they choose. They even offer concierge services to patients, and peritoneal dialysis.
