The 11th Annual 9 Days of Jerry - The Kavod / Covid Edition - Are Upon Us, Gevaldt!

Radio Free Nachlaot  is the world's ONLY 100% Listener-Supported Jewish Hippie Internet Radio Station broadcasting 24/6 from Jerusalem to a World-Wide Audience of Deadheads and Other Music Lovers!

Founded in November 2009, Radio Free Nachlaot (named for Nachlaot, Jerusalem's own Haight-Ashbury) celebrates the 9 Days of Jerry by playing all Jerry / Grateful Dead / Dead-centric / Jerry-adjacent music during the "9 Days" - the "Days Between" Jerry Garcia's birthday August 1st and the anniversary of his passing August 9th.  The rest of the year we play the Grateful Dead and all your favorite Jewish, Israeli, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass/Jewgrass, Indie and World Music 24/6 on our non-commercial, 100% listener-supported internet radio stream.

Now we've arrived at our 11th ANNUAL 9 DAYS OF JERRY, during this immensely weird year of Covid. Our response is to mount THE KAVOD EDITION of the 9DOJ - including Zoom shows broadcast on RFN's Facebook page featuring special guest DJ's to help sweeten the decree by turning "covid" into kavod (honor) for what we like to call, "The Torah of Jerry".

This year we will host Special Guest DJ's via Zoom, broadcasting through RFN's FB page, so be sure to "like" Radio Free Nachlaot so you can access those broadcasts.
Some of the folks we have lined up to share their favorite Jerry Garcia / Grateful Dead / Dead-Adjacent / Jerry-Centric stylings with us include: Moshe Pesach Geller, Noah Munro Lehrman, Shaul Magid, Jerilyn Brandelius, Bill Bentkowsky, Lee Neckameyer, and more!
 

We have only ONE fundraiser per year and THIS IS IT! Please BE KIND and throw some change into our virtual guitar case, and help keep us on the air another year! Your contributions will be used to pay for our overhead/streaming services/equipment upgrades.

We can't do this without you, folks. We are GRATEFUL for your support! 
We're not the best at what we do - but we ARE the only ones who do it!

With Immense Gratitude to HKBH and to ALL our World-Wide Fan-Base Who Have Lovingly Supported Us ALL THESE YEARS....

"See you on the radio" - and on Zoom!

RADIO FREE NACHLAOT'S
 10th ANNUAL
 9 DAYS OF JERRY
 
It's that time again... time for Our Annual Fundraiser for the only Internet Radio Station in the World bringing the music, talk and Torah of Nachlaot from Jerusalem (and Berkeley) to the World!

Once a Year we treat our world-wide listening audience to all Jerry and Jerry-centric programming for "The 9 Days of Jerry". Most years those 9 days correspond to August 1-9, unless (like this year) Tisha b'Av doesn't fall until after Jerry's birthday.

This year (2019 / 5779) we're doing The 9 Days of Jerry: The Nidcha Edition! Beginning around Midnight August 12 after the (delayed) Fast of Tisha b'Av, continuing all the way until August 23 (excluding Shabbos Jerry and including a double Isru-Jerry), we'll be bringing Jerry to the internet radio waves 24/6.

WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER, LISTENER SUPPORTED INTERNET RADIO STATION! NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN PAID TO DO WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS! WE'RE HERE FOR LOVE, NOT MONEY!


But it costs money to operate our streaming service, maintain our equipment, and deal with broadcast emergencies like (G*d forbid, lo alaynu) blown-up laptops, etc.

Once a year we ask you to "throw some change into our virtual guitar case".  IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

We'll be running our fundraiser from "The 9 Days of Jerry" through Rosh HaShanah 5780, and we need YOUR help to stay on the air! CLICK HERE TO DONATE!

Thank you in advance for being kind!

The Halcyon Days of 1977-78 #9DaysofJerry

It's the halcyon days of 1977/78 on Radio Free Nachlaot! 

halcyon days. noun. a period of peace and happiness; an idyllic time; also, a period of calm weather during the winter solstice. Word Origin. Greek Alkyone a legend of fourteen windless days.

Everybody's got their favorite Jerry period. Few dispute that the 76-79 era were, relatively speaking to what came before and what would follow, the halcyon days of Jerry's creativity.


Starting about 8:30am Israel time on Thursday morning, we'll be hearing the Grateful Dead 5/25/77 at the Baltimore Civic Center, 10/2/77 at the Paramount Theater, and 5/22/77 at the Sportatorium, Penbroke Pines, Florida. About 4:20pm (yes, and not on purpose either!), we'll hear the Jerry Garcia Band 3/18/78 at the Warner Theater.

Stay tuned for more 9 Days of Jerry on Radio Free Nachlaot!
