Morgan Woolsey | Inside the Grateful Dead Archives and Rare Rock Artifacts

What does it take to turn music history into something you can hold in your hands? On this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Jeremiah sits down with Morgan Woolsey, Senior Music Specialist at Julien’s Auctions, to explore the stories behind some of the most iconic artifacts in rock history. With a PhD in musicology from UCLA, Morgan shares how her passion for storytelling, research, and music led her to one of the most unique roles in the industry.

From rare handwritten lyrics and vintage instruments to deeply personal items from the Grateful Dead’s inner circle, Morgan takes us inside the upcoming Treasures from the Golden Road auction. This conversation goes beyond memorabilia—it’s about legacy, community, and how music continues to connect people across generations.
