Greetings, Friends of Rex,We’re beyond excited to announce the return of the annual Rex Foundation Benefit on December 5, 2026, at The Fillmore in San Francisco. This year’s gathering, Love Will See You Through, will feature a two-set performance by Grahame Lesh and Friends. This is a full-circle moment, as Grahame lends his support to Rex in the same way his dad, a founder of Rex, did so many times.  The friends Grahame has assembled have a long history of playing together and have formed the nucleus of many of the great bands that performed at Terrapin Crossroads, most notably Phil Lesh & Friends. If you were fortunate to attend shows at Terrapin Crossroads, the names will be very familiar: John Molo on drums, Holly Bowling on keyboards, Stu Allen on vocals and guitar, Barry Sless on guitar, Elliott Peck on vocals, and none other than Grahame on vocals, playing one of his dad’s bass guitars. This band is a supergroup, and we can’t wait to hear them rock the house Bill built!

Love Will See You Throughwill begin with a pre-show reception featuring excellent bites, along with wine, beer, and non-alcoholic options. We will also host a silent auction featuring rare, curated pieces from our archive.

I  went to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass which was incredibly hot and crowded beyond control they didn’t have to try and they shut some things down but it was great the music it just was very difficult my very geat Birthday as my lovely friends gave me a hotel room which was so helpful but getting on a bus to get back was just impossible there was so many people 3 days straight got about six hours of sleep because nights in San Francisco at La LunaInn it was perfect for me the people there were so nice to me too everybody’s that was nice to me actually. mean rubbing against people to go anywhere it was crazy somewhere but I got lucky again. Musicians that I really liked and were maybe newer which is what I like first day on the banjo stage on these people’s tarp it was rough but I got right up there and it was Molly Tuttle who is amazing. Miko Marks was wild great voice and let’s see there was a band called Fantastic Cats it was all these young guys dressed in White dancing around and singing songs they had written anyway they were having so much fun and then Molly Tuttle who I adore I really liked that the T sisters were singing with Moon Allice it’s really brought them up and Jillian Welsh was singing and Peter Rowan joined her and that was fabulous. I’ve always loved her and they were a lot of different places to go.4 or 5 mile walking a day
