The Garcia Project will do an eight-night run on the west coast in March 2018, focusing on the Jerry Garcia Band’s 1976-1978 set lists and performances. As a special treat, the first two shows on the tour will feature Maria Muldaur on vocals! Maria Muldaur will join The Garcia Project on March 14, 2019 at The HopMonk in Sebastopol, CA and also on March 15, 2019 at The Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA. These nights will celebrate the Jerry Garcia Band’s “Cats Under The Stars” tour from 1977-78, at which time Maria was a member of the band. “Cats Under The Stars” was Jerry Garcia’s favorite album and the tour was filled with great songs and energy.
Maria Muldaur is best known world-wide for her 1974 mega-hit “Midnight at the Oasis, “which received several Grammy nominations, and enshrined her forever in the hearts of Baby Boomers everywhere. She started recording with Jerry Garcia and sitting in with The Jerry Garcia Band in '74, joining the band officially from fall 1977 through 1978. Maria has recorded over 40 albums, and continues to perform Blues, Jazz, and Gospel both in the States and worldwide.
Maria Muldaur will be singing with The Garcia Project’s Kat Walkerson and Mik Bondy (guitar). They will be joined by band members Dan Crea (bass guitar), Tommy Nagy (drums) and Russel Lee Wheeler (piano).

"I spent a lot of nights in a lot of places with the Jerry Garcia Band, and I’m here to say that I really enjoy what The Garcia Project does with those memories.
