THE EXPERIENCE
The Garcia Project is built around a simple but powerful idea:
Recreate the Jerry Garcia Band experience as it actually happened.
Each show is based on a real setlist from a specific era—allowing the music to unfold naturally, just as it did on stage.
From the intimate, groove-centered performances of the late ’70s to the expansive, soulful shows of the late ’80s and early ’90s…
Audiences don’t just hear the music—they feel transported into it.
