September 27, Jerry's Middle Finger

Three decades after the loss of Jerry Garcia, a close-knit band of musicians are carrying the
torch for his distinctive blend of soul, guitar, and eclectic American music. Jerry's Middle
Finger do more than celebrate the Jerry Garcia Band's catalog; they also broadcast it to a new
generation, upholding Garcia's dedication to camaraderie and community-building by creating
their own family-like experience onstage. Double albums like Live at the Chapel San Francisco,
May 30th, 2025 capture that experience, shining a light on JMF's striking ability to play the
Jerry Garcia Band's music — a blend of blues, reggae, Motown, gospel, and psychedelic rock,
performed from the early 1970s up until his passing in 1995 — with sincere reverence for the
original material and a fresh electrified spirit that resonates with every generation. Modern-day
audiences haven't had the opportunity to experience this music in a live setting for years. Now,
Jerry's Middle Finger are carrying the torch, paying tribute to Garcia with shows at jam-band
destinations across the country like the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, the
Troubadour in Los Angeles, and Garcia’s at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY.
