THE GARCIA PROJECT

The Garcia Project is the only nationally touring tribute that performs full, classic Jerry Garcia Band set lists from 1976-1995!

The Garcia Project stands as a premier tribute band dedicated to faithfully recreating the legendary performances of the Jerry Garcia Band. With a meticulous attention to detail, they reconstruct not only the beloved setlists but also the distinctive tempos, arrangements, and even utilize replica guitars and gear to authentically capture the essence of Jerry Garcia's sound.

Comprised of dedicated musicians and passionate fans of Jerry Garcia's solo work, The Garcia Project goes beyond mere homage, striving to transport audiences back to the intimate and transformative concert experiences that defined the Jerry Garcia Band. From soulful ballads like “Mission In The Rain to electrifying jams such as "Deal," every performance is a journey through Garcia's musical universe, faithfully recreated with precision and reverence.

Through their commitment to authenticity and musical craftsmanship, The Garcia Project ensures that each show is not just a nostalgic trip down memory lane, but a vibrant celebration of Jerry Garcia's enduring musical legacy. By meticulously recreating the nuances of Jerry Garcia Band concerts, from the gear to the groove, The Garcia Project honors Garcia's spirit of improvisation and musical exploration, ensuring that his music continues to inspire and resonate with audiences everywhere.

Not a Grateful Dead tribute, but a tribute to Jerry Garcia’s beloved other band, The Jerry Garcia Band, which toured in between Grateful Dead tours, and played original songs as well as great covers from many genres, including rock, Motown, gospel, bluegrass and more.

“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, Dan 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

Often called the “DSO of JGB” by fans, The Garcia Project’s performances are based on actual set lists performed by The Jerry Garcia Band.
