Rock music’s iconic group, The Grateful Dead, was known for its unique and eclectic style that fused elements of rock, bluegrass, reggae, improv jazz, and more. As lead guitarist in a legendary rock group, Jerry Garcia naturally got a lot of attention. It was his warm, charismatic personality, however, that earned him the affection of millions of “Deadheads”. When the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation undertook the project renovate the Bowl, it was a natural leap to want a monumental size of Jerry’s Hand placed in the new “Jerry Garcia Glen” at the site. His death in August 1995, closed a 30-year chapter of Rock music by this iconic band.
A memorial bronze sculpture of Jerry’s right hand was commissioned and placed in the Jerry Garcia Glen at the Santa Barbara Bowl in California in November 2011.
The bronze “Jerry’s Hand” is available in 18″ or 8″ and in traditional or psychelic patina seen below.
Please call to discuss your own unique and personal fountain design concept. Thereafter, Tom can bring that to life for you in bronze!
