Forest Moon Festival | Tennessee Jedi

RFR headed out to the Pacific Northwest redwoods region for Forest Moon Festival 2025. As part of the festival, the Star Wars/Grateful Dead mashup band Tennessee Jedi performed for the masses, playing good ole Dead tunes with custom lyrics reflecting the story told in STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE. Check out "Tennessee Jedi" as their alter ego in the form THE MIRACLE SHOW, performing in and around California's Pacific Northwest region.

Here's a taste of their take on "Mexicali Blues" by the Grateful Dead, "Mos Eisley Spaceport Blues" with a little bit of "The Cantina Theme" mixed in!

A classic Grateful Dead tune “He’s Gone” becomes “Alderaan” when Tennessee Jedi performs it.

Minglewood becomes “MingleWOOK” but the Blues remain intact!

…And the Wolf becomes a Wook in “Dire Wook”

That’s no Picasso Moon, it’s a space station! Includes Kyle Newman’s favorite lyric - “Bigger than the giant balls on Chewie!”
