A great review and some more photos from our recent show at Tralf Music Hall​:

“The Garcia Project was on point with the whole experience and it didn’t seem like a cover band more like a mirrored band. In my mind, they are just as real as the Jerry Garcia Band.”

Garcia Project guitarist, Mik Bondy, sits in with Melvin Seals and JGB in Florida

Mik Bondy got to fire up his rig and Tiger guitar and perform the first two songs of the night with Jerry Garcia Band keyboardist, Melvin Seals and his JGB band. The show was ta Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “I Second That Emotion” was the first song in this recreation set (from Hartford, CT 1991). “Struggling Man” was the second song they played together.

“Its always a blessing to hear Melvin Seals on the keyboards…but to perform with him, it’s like Christmas morning when you were a kid! I always learn something new when I play with Melvin and JGB band is so tight and fun to play with.”, says Mik.

And a review from Robbie Jam:

“Trip from Key West was cool with a stop in Fort Lauderdale to see Melvin Seals &JGB ..and Mik Bondy and Kat Walkerson . An extra special “gift” was Mik being asked to sit in! Luckily, Mik had all his Garcia Project gear in his RV. The excitement factor was building in the 30 minutes before showtime. Finally, Mik walked out with the band! They played Second that Emotion and Struggling Man before Dave finally arrived and took over. However, major KUDOS to Mik for being spot on with all the nuances of transitions and lead exchanges between him and Melvin. Miks vocals were also great. Mik could have stayed up there easily and the show would have still been greatly satisfying…. actually, when Dave started up singing the next song after Mik exited the stage, it was a bit awkward until we settled into Daves style and approach.

This was a special moment and I was glad to be there sharing it. It’s awesome to get the call up to varsity or the big leagues so to speak in our world of translating Jerry and GD. Mik got the call and he was totally prepared to make the most out of it…and he DID. I think Melvin knows he has another guitarist he can call and the spirit of JGB will be greatly served. Congratulations Mik, you killed it! Home run! We also have some good video thanks to the awesome Cheryl…this music thing keeps spinning it’s magic of community and support. miles of smiles… Congratulations Mik! It’s always good to have friends to root for in search of dreams!”

Catch The Garcia Project this spring for their tour in the northeast and again this summer when they will perform a full two hour set with Melvin Seals at the Jerry Jam music festival on July 24.

 

Take a listen to Mik with Melvin and JGB on the first 2 tracks!
