Melvin Seals, a powerhouse in the music industry for over five decades, is set to bring his legendary Hammond B-3 organ magic to Boulder Theater on Friday, December 13, 2024. Known for his integral role in the Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) for 18 years, Seals helped define the "Jam Band" genre, blending blues, funk, rock, jazz, R&B, and gospel into a truly unique and captivating musical experience.

On August 13, 1975, The Grateful Dead played a show at the ridiculously small and distinctively decorous Great American Music Hall (GAMH) in San Francisco. This was one of only four concerts the band played that year, all of them in San Francisco. The setlist was mostly comprised of songs from the album Blues for Allah, which had not yet been released. Many Deadheads revere the GAMH performance as an all-time favorite.

Melvin Seals brought his talented band to the iconic Capitol Theatre on April 5, 2024 for two fiery sets of classic Jerry Garcia Band covers, and more. They were joined by saxophonist Ron Holloway. Psychedelic rockers One Eyed Jack provided their support.

The Go Big For Hunger All-Star Band returns for two fundraising concerts at Portland House of Music & Events on March 8 and 9, 2024 (The Annual Go Big For Hunger Jam to support children with food insecurities). The shows feature Phish drummer Jon Fishman,  George Porter Jr.

Buffalo Iron Works, a pivotal presence and adored icon in the live music scene, is elated to announce its monumental 10-year anniversary celebration set for October 19th, 2023. The milestone event is set to feature the renowned Melvin Seals & JGB, promising an unforgettable night of music, camaraderie, and special surprises.
