Rivanna Roots - The '77z with Clara George & Annie Savage

Drawing inspiration mainly from the 1970's decade live Grateful Dead repertoire, The '77z are a local staple among the Grateful Dead tribute bands of the region. It's a guilty pleasure for all of the band members to choose and perform these classic Grateful Dead songs, since they have all been musically inspired by The Dead for decades. The band lineup includes Jake Hopping, Chris Leva, Craig Dougald and Darrell Muller. All are members of bands such as Love Canon, Indecision, Positive Collective and Ragged Mountain String Band.

Clara George is an alternative rock musician based in Charlottesville, VA. Annie Savage is the award winning fiddler of The Savage Hearts. As a duo, they bring together their own musical styles to create a unique sound that fuses the alternative and folk music worlds.
