Originally rooted in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Johnny Lit’s Jerry Duty is a nationally touring tribute to the music of Jerry Garcia. Fronted by Johnny with his high energy and intuitive approach to performances, it has quickly risen to become a force in the live music scene. Shows including a cast of all star lineups with members of Bob Weirs Ratdog, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Melvin Seal’s JGB, Twiddle, American Babies and more. Sprinkled with authentic instrumentation that will “take you there”. Their mission is not only to pay tribute to the music performed by Jerry but most importantly deliver the “Experience” which is heavily based on the collective, free flowing improvisation of the artists and audience rarely felt today.

Their performances are not just concerts but more communal gatherings where fans and artists come together to celebrate the music and lifestyle they love. Giving them space to share their gifts, dance and express themselves while creating memories that last long after the final note fades.

Just some of the places they can been seen performing at are the Sherman Theatre, Mauch Chunk Opera House, Riverstreet Jazz Café, Pocono Raceway, Yasgurs Farm “original Woodstock site”,City Winery, Park City Music Hall, Grateful Hotel Costa Rica, The Towne Crier, Daryls House, Nectars, Zenbarn, Stonechurch, Sportsmens Tavern, Phantom Power, Deep Dive, Tripps Farm, Stone Church Music Club,The Stanhope House, North Street Press Club, 118 North, 8×10 and more.
