This November, The Bank of the Arts will host music by rock legend and former member of “Grateful Dead”, Jerry Garcia. Known for his eclectic musical career and guitar talents, Jerry Garcia was infamous for his creative and improvisational abilities. Garcia was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.

Jerry Garcia

Born and raised in San Francisco, Jerome “Jerry” Garcia was a musical prodigy of the 1960s. Receiving his first guitar at 15 years old, Jerry was introduced to open-tuning style by his step-father, and three years later, began his music career by performing with local artists of the Bay area. Known as a principal songwriter, lead guitarist and vocalist for both Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band, Garcia’s electric and often improvised guitar riffs enchanted both crowds and industry peers. Garcia experimented with folk, bluegrass, electronic music, old-timey ballads, country, and reggae throughout his 30 year career.

Some of Jerry’s famous songs include “Sugaree”, “Uncle John’s Band”, and “It Must Have Been the Roses”.
