Jerry's Middle Finger

Jerry’s Middle Finger carries Garcia’s soulful, genre-blending legacy to a new generation with electrifying live shows. 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.
