Grahame Lesh brings his collaborative musical project to Brooklyn Bowl's intimate venue, where the combination of live music and laid-back bowling alley atmosphere creates something special. As the son of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, Grahame has carved out his own path in the jam band scene, though the influence of that legendary improvisational tradition runs through his music. The "& Friends" format means the lineup can shift and evolve, with different musicians joining for extended jams and exploratory sets that keep each performance fresh.
Brooklyn Bowl's unique setup—part concert venue, part bowling alley, part restaurant—gives these shows a relaxed energy. The stage sits alongside those polished lanes, and Blue Ribbon's kitchen serves up solid comfort food throughout the night. It's an 18+ show with a standing room setup, so the crowd tends to cluster near the stage while others might grab a lane or settle in with food and drinks. The venue's layout makes it easy to drift between different vibes as the night goes on, whether you're there for every note or just soaking in the scene.
