The Garcia Project is a must-see for anyone who had the good fortune of seeing Jerry’s band live. I was lucky enough to share the JGB experience with Jerry, John Kahn, Maria Muldaur, Keith and Donna. Being on stage with Mik, Kat and the crew is the closest thing to the original. They are Jerry’s kindred spirits when it comes to making music. Even if you never saw JGB live, you can see and hear their spirit at a Garcia Project performance.” – Buzz Buchanan, Drummer for The Jerry Garcia Band 1977-1978. What makes The Garcia Project so special and magical isn’t just their dedication to performing full, classic Jerry Garcia Band set lists — it’s the feeling they bring to every note. With deep love and respect for the music, The Garcia Project recreates the soul-stirring, heartfelt vibe of a true Jerry Band experience. Each performance is a journey back in time, featuring a complete set list from a specific year in Jerry Garcia Bandhistory — delivered with the same arrangements, instrumentation, gear, and emotional power that defined those original shows. It’s more than a concert. It’s a re-creation of the spirit, the healing energy, and the connection that fans felt at every Jerry Band show. At the heart of The Garcia Project is Mik Bondy on guitar and vocals, playing through a rig modeled after Jerry’s own — capturing the tone and touch that defined Garcia’s sound. Vocalist Kat Walkerson brings rich, soulful harmonies that echo the power of the original Jerry Band vocalists. Holding down the low end is David Alderman on bass and vocals, delivering deep grooves and melodic support. On keyboards, Elliot Jackson Scott Rauch adds shimmering textures and gospel-tinged solos that bring the songs to life. Together, this group doesn’t just play the music of the Jerry Garcia Band — they bring it back to life with passion, precision, and authenticity.
