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.

How sweet it is, to experience the joy of JGB’s music in a live setting. A concert by Jerry’s Middle Finger is a connective, cathartic event: a fusion of artist and audience, where everyone’s a fan of the same catalog and experience. Those concerts began in 2015, when bandmates Garrett Deloian, Rodney Newman, Son Vo, 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 progressed, the band’s audience grew. Dive bar gigs in JMF’s hometown of Los Angeles gave way to performances at bucket-list venues across the country, including jam-band destinations like the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, the Troubadour in Los Angeles, The Ardmore in Philadelphia, and Garcia’s at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY.

    Always down for the Dead

      This is not the Dead. It’s a Jerry Band cover band! Totally different kind of set list.

  2. Peter on April 28, 2026 at 1:13 pm

    Yes please! We had a dead cover band play our wedding many years ago!

    I would love to see Jerry’s Middle Finger during The Days Between celebration for Jerry Garcia!
    “There were days
    And there were days
    And there were days between
    Summer flies and August dies”

    I’d love to see Jerry’s Middle Finger at the Crystal Ballroom! Their live shows are pure energy, and there’s nothing like that Grateful Dead vibe with a crowd that’s all in. It’d be an unforgettable night of music, dancing, and good times I don’t want to miss 🎶

  17. BJ on May 19, 2026 at 3:47 pm

    Got two reasons why I cry each lonely night. First one’s because of the economy and how nothing seems alright. Second one is the “isms”, baby, thought police on my trail, and they if they catch up to me I’ll lose my personality like a case of beer at a yard sale

  18. shayna on May 25, 2026 at 8:57 pm

    I would love to go see this!!!!

  19. mg on May 27, 2026 at 9:40 am
