Silent Auction Starting at 5:30pm 
Show Starts 7:00pm 

China Rider (A Grateful Dead Experience) presents: “Grateful Al’s Not Dead” a fundraiser for Al Neff.
Join us on Wednesday, November 12, for an unforgettable evening at the Paramount Theatre. The night begins with local radio personality Al Neff bringing his syndicated show Into the Music to the stage, live with China Rider. Together, they’ll share the songs and stories behind one of the most influential bands of the 1960s and ’70s.

The evening continues with a “Last Waltz”-style celebration, as special guests take the stage alongside China Rider. Musicians from Blimp, Collective Unconscious, Mason Dixon Line, The Killer Vees, and Central Minnesota’s own troubadour Charlie Roth will unite to form an all-star band unlike anything St. Cloud has seen before.

This special event is a benefit for Al Neff, helping to offset medical expenses following a series of heart attacks and related procedures. Our theme: Grateful Al’s Not Dead!

The night also includes a silent auction in the Paramount lobby beginning at 5:30 p.m., leading up to showtime at 7:00 p.m..
