The Garcia Project, the nation’s premier tribute act dedicated to the Jerry Garcia Band, will bring its faithful recreations of classic JGB shows to the historic Fox Theatre on May 15. Often called the “DSO of JGB,” The Garcia Project is the only nationally touring tribute that performs full, classic Jerry Garcia Band set lists from 1976 to 1995—capturing the spirit and vibe of Garcia’s beloved side project with stunning accuracy.
Not merely a Grateful Dead tribute, The Garcia Project focuses exclusively on the Jerry Garcia Band’s renowned repertoire, spanning soulful ballads, rock anthems, Motown gems, and gospel-infused jams. From the resonant, searching tones of “Mission in the Rain” to the high-energy peaks of “Deal,” The Garcia Project delivers an immersive concert experience that transports fans back to Jerry’s transformative live shows.
“We strive to capture every nuance—right down to the tempos, arrangements, and era-accurate gear—so fans can feel like they’re experiencing the Jerry Garcia Band firsthand,” says Mik Bondy, founding member of The Garcia Project.
The band has earned acclaim from members of Garcia’s own musical family and associates:
Buzz Buchanan, Jerry Garcia Band drummer (1977–1978), states, “They are Jerry’s kindred spirits when it comes to making music.”
Dennis McNally, longtime publicist for the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band, adds, “…they almost make me feel like I’m back in, say, 1992 at the Warfield.”
Maria Muldaur, Grammy-winning vocalist who toured with Jerry Garcia Band (1977–1979), says, “They don’t merely recreate Jerry’s music…they are channeling it.”
For the past 15 years, The Garcia Project’s unwavering dedication to authenticity has made them the definitive authority for Jerry Garcia Band enthusiasts around the country. Their performances are a testament to the familial spirit, soul searching, and camaraderie that defined Garcia’s music—and continue to unite fans today.
