ABOUT JERRY GARCIA & JERRY GARCIA FAMILY
Jerry Garcia (1942-1995) created an unparalleled legacy across the American landscape, most notably in his role as a founding member, singer, songwriter and lead guitarist of the Grateful Dead. Garcia’s unmistakable guitar tone enchanted multitudes of “Deadheads” throughout the band’s 30-year career and beyond. His work with the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, Legion of Mary, Garcia/Grisman and projects with Merl Saunders only scratch at the surface of his musical influences as he set out to master the Great American Songbook. Unequivocally devoted to the craft of music, Garcia continues to inspire future generations through the body of work he has left behind and his creative spirit.
Jerry Garcia Family stewards the legacy of Jerry Garcia. It is led by Trixie Garcia and includes additional family members Annabelle and Heather Garcia, as well as Sunshine Kesey and the estate of his brother, Tiff.
