Deadheads being social

- THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Deadheads looking to add a little more Jerry Garcia to their lives can now incorporat­e the late Grateful Dead guitarist into their social media with the video storytelli­ng platform Magisto. And Trixie Garcia hopes that will turn more people on to her father’s music.

Magisto added a Jerry Garcia “editing style” to its platform on Wednesday. It allows users to upload photos and videos and have them mixed into a profession­allooking presentati­on featuring photos of Garcia and a bit from his songs. The launch coincides with the CD release of a 1987 concert by one of Garcia’s side projects, the Jerry Garcia Band.
