вЂњThe love of this music that we share is such a special bond. вЂњThroughout my life, IвЂ™ve made so many connections and friendships, and received so much love and support, through the Grateful Dead community,вЂќ Lewis said.

Lewis also stays busy with her main brand Hiouchi Jewels.ДЄfter this weekendвЂ™s Boulder shows, Lewis will head to nine more Dead & Company shows where she will vend. вЂњI love what John Mayer brings to the band.вЂќ Sarah Lewis, founder of Rose & Bolt, vends at Skull & Roses Festival, in Ventura, Calif., in April 2022. вЂњOver the years, IвЂ™ve seen hundreds of shows, of all the incarnations, side projects and cover bands, including JGB, Phil & Friends, Ratdog, the Dead, Billy & the Kids, Dark Star and of course Dead & Company,вЂќ Lewis said. Lewis continues to travel across the country, letting live music be her guide. So I sadly just missed Jerry (Garcia), or remembering seeing him at least.вЂќ вЂњThe first show I really remember - that really sparked my love for the Grateful Dead and sort of set me on my own path as a Deadhead - was Further Festival 1996, at SPAC, in Saratoga, N.Y., when I was 12. Her memories of attending Dead concerts with her folks are a little hazy, but an experience in the вЂ90s solidified her adoration for the band and touring. These initially drew me in, but my favorite albums are вЂAmerican BeautyвЂ™ and вЂWorkingmanвЂ™s Dead.'вЂќ вЂњI recall discovering my parentsвЂ™ вЂSkeletons In The ClosetвЂ™ CD as a kid and receiving tapes of shows from older friends at an early age. вЂњThe Grateful Dead has always been a part of my life, and I canвЂ™t remember not knowing the music,вЂќ Lewis said. Lewis grew up going to Dead shows with her parents. Sarah Lewis, creator of Rose & Bolt jewelry, models a few pieces of her handmade creations at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. вЂњThereвЂ™s nothing like seeing the smiles on my customers faces, shining bright in my creations, finishing the transaction with a big hug and then dancing together at the show after,вЂќ Lewis said.ДЇrom вЂњSteal Your FaceвЂќ pendants with glimmering abalone shell to вЂњLove is RealвЂќ earrings featuring turquoise and opal, the designs Lewis crafts are always assembled with top-quality gems. While she connected with customers online during the pandemic, for Lewis there is no greater feeling than the one that comes when she has an opportunity to meet patrons in person. Other confirmed creatives selling wares at Boulder Market include Little Hippie, Girl Tour, Vintage Dead and Turquoise Moon Art Co.

Lewis and several friends have secured booths at SaturdayвЂ™s Boulder Market, located in the Great Lawn of Boulder High School at 13th Street and Arapahoe Avenue, next to the Boulder Farmers Market, where they will be vending from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The Evergreen-based creative has found ways around that.

Rumors have swirled about Shakedown Street - the open-air line of creators toting tie-dyes and glassware, commonly found in lots outside of the showsвЂ™ venues - being a no-go this year due to restrictions implemented by CU. This music has given so much to me, inspired me, moved me brightly.вЂќ вЂњSales are great, and I love that through my sales, I give back to this band. вЂњItвЂ™s been such an honor and an absolute joy to pair my two favorite things - the Grateful Dead and jewelry, into this collection that is so special and close to my heart,вЂќ Lewis said. Sarah Lewis, creator of Rose & Bolt, vends at Jerry Week at Cactus JackвЂ™s in Evergreen, in August 2021.
