The informal performance is set for Friday, July 31, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Eco Shelter in GreenUP Ecology Park.

Bencic says there is no admission fee and people are welcome to stop by for a few songs or stay for the entire performance.

The evening will feature two sets. The first, running from 6 p.m. until approximately 7:15 p.m., will include a variety of Grateful Dead songs.

The second set will recognize International Blues Music Day, with Bencic performing blues covers as well as Grateful Dead songs that include the word "blues" in their title. Audience members will also have the opportunity to request songs during the second set.

Parking is available at Beavermead Park. Visitors can access GreenUP Ecology Park from the entrance at the far end of the Beavermead parking lot near Ashburnham Drive and Marsdale Drive.

Those attending are encouraged to bring a chair if desired, as only a limited number of picnic tables are available at the Eco Shelter.
