The Garcia Project (Tribute To The Jerry Garcia Band)
“The Garcia Project is a must-see for anyone who had the good fortune of seeing Jerry’s band live. I was lucky enough to share the JGB experience with Jerry, John Kahn, Maria Muldaur, Keith and Donna. Being on stage with Mik, Kat and the crew is the closest thing to the original. They are Jerry’s kindred spirits when it comes to making music. Even if you never saw JGB live, you can see and hear their spirit at a Garcia Project performance.” – Buzz Buchanan, Drummer for The Jerry Garcia Band 1977-1978
What makes The Garcia Project special isn’t any one musician—it’s what happens when dedicated musicians come together in service of something larger than themselves.
Every member of the band approaches this music with humility, respect, and a shared understanding that the goal is not individual recognition, but collective devotion to the songs, the spirit, and the experience that made the classic Jerry Garcia Band so beloved. Egos are left at the door. The focus is always on becoming channels for the music and allowing it to flow naturally, honestly, and authentically.
That commitment is what gives The Garcia Project its unique chemistry. Together, they recreate full classic Jerry Garcia Band set lists from specific years, using period-correct arrangements, instrumentation, and tones—but the real magic goes beyond the notes. It’s the joy, the healing energy, the emotional connection, and the sense of community that audiences feel from the moment the music begins.
Each performance is more than a concert. It’s a journey back to a time when music brought people together in a deeply meaningful way. Through passion, dedication, and a genuine love for this music, The Garcia Project continues to honor and celebrate the enduring spirit of the classic Jerry Garcia Band.
