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.

On a cool and windy but exquisitely sunny day, just a short jaunt from the Terrapin Crossroads nightclub and restaurant presided over by Grateful Dead co-founder Phil Lesh from 2012 to 2022, a similar collective of staff and musicians offered their third “Sunday Daydream” on July 21, along the San Pablo Bay in San Rafael, Calif.

Today, Bay Area heavy-hitter Alex Jordan releases his new LP Queen Kerosene via ALP.

Musical Swiss army knife Alex Jordan makes a lively plea for forgiveness on new single “Saving Grace,” out today. With a robust horn section and wailing vocals, the track arrives with a spirited music video that tells the story of a man desperately trying to win back his girlfriend any way he knows how, directed by award-winning duo Neilson Hubbard & Joshua Britt (John Prine, Jason Isbell).

Produced by four-time GRAMMY-winner Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, “Emily” – the latest single from Alex Jordan’s upcoming LP – finds the Bay Area native enlisting a bluesy horn section for a groovy track about finding comfort in someone who truly understands you.

Bay Area native Alex Jordan has shared the stage with icons like Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Peter Rowan, but today, he’s taking a step forward as a frontman and songwriter as he announces his new LP Queen Kerosene, produced by four-time GRAMMY-winner Steve Berlin of Los Lobos and releasing March 8, 2024 via Andy Logan Productions.

June Lake Jam Fest, the annual fundraising event for the June Lake Loop Performing Arts Association (JLLOOPPAA) has announced the lineup for their much-lauded boutique music festival. The jam band festival, in its eighth year and dubbed “Flying High Edition'', takes place in Gull Lake Park in June Lake, CA from September 8th through the 10th.

Alex Jordan is an old musical soul in a young man’s body.  He approaches things with the fresh perspective of a relative newcomer, but he’s been playing so long—like since he could hold on to an instrument—that he has a fully rounded sense of the history of rock and its roots.  And that’s why The Subtle Exhibitionist presents such a wide range of musical flavors, cooked up with exquisite taste.  Lots of it is brand new, but often you have the oddest feeling that it’s an album you’ve had forever.  &nbsp
