 A variety of local performers including his cousin Jenn got up on stage to play a number of songs in his honour. She sang  a variety of music from Adele to Grace Potter.


 Jellison also played a couple superb sets of music  solo. H

e then reunited with Clapping Monkeys guitarist Cornelius Cole for a sets of Clapping Monkeys songs and jumped on the wall shelf to demonstrate some fleet-footed tap dancing moves, leaving both the crowd and himself breathless as bassist Felipe Rodriguez laid down a catchy, smooth jazz groove.

Jellison did a little freestyle rap to the tune of his tap and in time with the groove.
