SUMMARY:JERRY'S MIDDLE FINGER
DESCRIPTION:JERRY'S MIDDLE FINGER Advance tickets $42.11 Total Cost.\n\nThr
 ee 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 e
 clectic American music. Jerry's Middle Finger do more than celebrate the J
 erry Garcia Band's catalog\; they also broadcast it to a new generation\, 
 upholding Garcia's dedication to camaraderie and community-building by cre
 ating their own family-like experience onstage. How sweet it is\, to exper
 ience the joy of JGB's music in a live setting. A concert by Jerry's Middl
 e Finger is a connective\, cathartic event: a fusion of artist and audienc
 e\, where everyone's a fan of the same catalog and experience. Those conce
 rts began in 2015\, when bandmates Garrett Deloian\, Rodney Newman\, Son V
 o\, Jon Gold\, Halina Janusz\, and Lisa Malsberger were drawn together by 
 a love of the Grateful Dead and its iconic lead guitarist. As the years pr
 ogressed\, the band's audience grew. Dive bar gigs in JMF's hometown of Lo
 s Angeles gave way to performances at bucket-list venues across the countr
 y\, including jam-band destinations like the Great American Music Hall in 
 San Francisco\, the Troubadour in Los Angeles\, The Ardmore in Philadelphi
 a\, and Garcia's at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester\, NY. \"This isn't
  just a cover band -- it's a band that genuinely honors the music Jerry ma
 de and the community he built\,\" says Newman\, the group's drummer and co
 -founder. \"We've studied these songs: the guitar tones\, the vocal arrang
 ements\, the keyboard sounds. We play them the way Jerry did\, and we conn
 ect with the audience in an interactive\, open-hearted way. It's an approa
 ch that transcends the perfection of a performance or the spectacle of a l
 ight show\, because we're not really about that. We're about the music\, t
 he feeling\, and the communal experience.\" 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 Jerry Garcia Band's music -- a b
 lend of blues\, reggae\, Motown\, gospel\, and psychedelic rock\, performe
 d from the early 1970s up until his passing in 1995 -- with sincere revere
 nce for the original material. Deloian's vocals and guitar fretwork are st
 eeped in Garcia's influence\, evoking the same balance of composition and 
 improvisation that made his music so special. Gold's keyboard solos channe
 l the timeless sounds of Melvin Seals while at times incorporating the del
 icate touch of Keith Godchaux and the e-piano explorations of Nicky Hopkin
 s. Janusz and Malsberger (affectionately known as \"The Ladyfingers\") tak
 e the audience to church with their striking\, gospel-inspired vocal\nharm
 onies. For all six members of JMF\, performing such timeless music feels l
 ike a full-circle return to their days as young Deadheads\, attending Grat
 eful Dead shows whenever possible\, watching in awe as Jerry Garcia's musi
 c flooded the venue with emotion. Now\, they're the ones occupying the sta
 ge\, communicating the same melodies and messages to those in the crowd. I
 t's a shared celebration of everything that Garcia stood for. \"Bob Weir h
 as talked about the cyclical energy of playing for an audience that truly 
 cherishes the experience\, and we're lucky to be part of that\,\" Newman n
 otes. \"When we perform this music\, there's a transference of energy betw
 een the band and the audience. It requires everybody.\" Focusing on the mu
 sic Jerry Garcia made outside of the Grateful Dead\, JMF perform a wide-ra
 nging mix of rarities and audience favorites. The setlist changes with eve
 ry show\, including everything from JGB classics like \"Deal\" and \"Cats 
 Under The Stars\" to deep cuts from side projects like Legions of Mary and
  Garcia's collaborations with Merl Saunders. \"We like to dig in and keep 
 things fresh\,\" Newman explains. That mentality also applies to songs tha
 t appeared throughout Garcia's career in different arrangements\, like \"M
 ission In The Rain.\" \"We'll default to an early '80s style of that song\
 ,\" adds Newman\, \"but occasionally we'll shift gears and play it the way
  he did in 1978 or 1989. We just let Jerry be our guide. He's our musical 
 director.\" Outside of Jerry's Middle Finger\, the bandmates have chased d
 own their own horizons\, too. Deloian\, a versatile guitarist capable of r
 eplicating other players' tone\, has toured heavily with GRAMMY-winning bl
 ues artists. Newman has released indie-folk music as a solo artist. Gold h
 as collaborated with musicians like Danny Elfman as a member of The Mystic
  Knights of the Oingo Boingo\, the surrealist group that became Oingo Boin
 go. Janusz and Vo have been bandmates for years in a number of groups\, mo
 st notably Mother Jones. Malsberger has been a lead vocal fixture in the S
 oCal jam band scene for decades in multiple beloved ensembles. Working tog
 ether as JMF\, these musicians pursue a more collaborative mission\, breat
 hing fresh life into a catalog that sounds as vital today as it did decade
 s ago. Modern-day audiences haven't had the opportunity to experience this
  music in a live setting for years. Now\, Jerry's Middle Finger are bringi
 ng it back to the stage\, paying tribute to Garcia -- and the community\nh
 e built -- with every note.
